Greetings, will anyone be attending the BSN program at Lamar in Beaumont, TX this fall? I'm on the alternate list right now. Also are there any previous Lamar nursing students that may know an approximate/ball park number of altrenates they assign each semester? It's killing me not knowing when or if I'll get a call to join in. Lol!

I'm an alternate also, even though my friend who had the same GPA as me got in right away. I'm pretty upset, but at least there is still a chance. Does anyone know how many alternates get called? I know it depends on acceptance/rejection/summer grades. I'm dying with anticipation!

I have heard they call a lot if not all the alternates up. Good luck to both of you.

Thank you sweetpea! I needed that boost of hope! It's going to be a long wait to find out, but I'll try to stay positive. Positive thoughts get positive results!

I would continue to think positive. :) are you from texas, did you take your classes at Lamar?

Yes and yes. I did all my pre-Reqs at LU. I've got a good GPA, I did ok on HESI (87 composite) and haven't had to retake anything. I guess if I don't get in I can take some more science classes for fun, but I'd rather not waste the money!

@DisneyBSN16 I'm with you, I have nothing else to take and my GPA is good as well. I've been a LVN for 6 years now and was pretty disappointed to see the alternate letter. I just hate not knowing, since I know it's going to cost a pretty penny for all the books and uniforms and everything else.

@Sweetpea0204 Thanks for the encouragement! I hope that proves true! :)
