I am shocked!

Published

I got a call from ARCC saying I got into nursing fall 2014. I wasn't even on their alternate list! The lady said they already finished the alternate list and now where moving done to others who applied. Century is really my first choice, ARCC is very close to home. I need to decide by tomorrow. I am a century student so I will need to transfer everything over.

Did you get accepted by Century also?

If not, my best advise is to not let this opportunity go for now! In the end, you'd not want to end up falling from a loose bridge while hesitating which side to go?

Yes. Century called me the last week of May with a slot, but I was on their alt. list.

What is ARCC NCLEX pass rate for the past few years? If it is comparable to Century then take it.

Then, go with ARCC. That is the best thing you can do now. You want to get into nursing school this Fall, so don't take chances. What if Century never call you, and you reject the open slot at ARCC.

My point is, you don't have two tangible options to choose from right now. Go with what is tangible. I am saying this because you have to decide by tomorrow which is quite unfortunate for you.

After clarifying that, let me say though that there is of course the chance (and who knows) that Century might call you the day after tomorrow for an empty slot. It's just not certain.

Lastly, let me say this to you now: by just having the chance to go to ARCC (mane) nursing program, you are lucky and congratulations!

I'm 98% sure you misunderstood OP. They received a slot in both programs and is now trying to decide which one to take.

Thanks all.

i mostly posted, because I was one who held my breath as I went to the mail box each day, and now I have a choice of 2 schools. I seriously never thought I would get in.

Would you mind if I asked what your GPA and TEAS V score was? 3 weeks until I get my letter and I'm sooo nervous!

If you call or get a meeting with an adviser at ARCC, they'll tell you what the composite cut off scores have been.
