I'm feeling accepted

You sure would have made mine! I was an alternate 3 years ago :nurse:

Roberta88 · May 6, 2010

Me too! I applied to five, got denied to one, a waiting list for two (one of which just offered me a spot) and one where I got right in. I'm still waiting to hear from one and I kind of hope I don't get into it. I never in a million years thought I would get into more than one. I didn't even think I would get into any my first time around. I am finding it very hard to decide though, but I want to do it soon because I don't want to leave an alternate worrying.

aubs-

did u hear back from stanislaus? R u going to go there or stay with East Bay? Im number 6 on alternate list for Stan and so Im trying not to get my hopes up too much...

I think you should get your hopes up. Every school I've talked to says they usually accept about 15 people off the alternate list. 6 is a really good number.

Ah I would cry if I got in I'd be so happy. Thanks for the info... But there's only 30 students? U think 15 out of 30 really?

Roberta88 · May 17, 2010

Yeah, people who get in decide all the time that they can't. They have money problems or they get pregnant. I think you have a really good chance. I do feel bad that your wait isn't over though. I was going crazy watching the mailbox every day. At least 49 is far enough away that I won't be waiting for it.

I was an alternate at the school I am currently attending this time last year, and got in. Be encouraged, and good luck everyone!

amymine-

Thanks for the encouragement :) If you dont mind me asking how many students were there in your class and how many alternates did they take? This wait is KILLING ME
