I’m sorry to hear that. Where have you applied? Are you only doing community colleges? 

Yes, Sara, I have applied to community colleges only and so far 6 lotteries and I have not got in any of those. My last bet is LMC which is merit based and I have probably the top points so far but need to take TEAS 7 for that program. Hopefully will get in there.

Have not got an email so far, looks like the lottery is killing all the hopes, 4.0 GPA and over 90% in TEAS does not get me in any programs applied so far and this is utterly frustrating. But congratulations to all!

I'm sorry to hear that. I haven't heard from them yet. I'm still holding on to faith since they have not sent the "we are sorry" letter. You are right, it can be frustrating but don't give up.

Yes, feels a little discouraging, I can't take any student loans as I have kids to look after and I am already financially constrained but hopefully LMC will be the place, I most likely will get in, I probably need over 80% in TEAS 7 to give myself a great chance. I am happy that so many aspiring students are able to get into the programs and hopefully our paths cross in the future.

Well I hope you do get into LMC. Definitely take the TEAS 7, I’m sure you’ll do so great on it. Don’t give up hope, even though it’s frustrating. If you’re able to, like the previous person suggested, apply to SMU & the CSU’s. With those stats you should be able to get into anywhere.

Thank you all for your suggestions and recommendation. I definitely will try to CSU and USF in the next cycle should I not get into LMC because, LMC has always been my first choice, as I took all my pre-reqs there and I applied to other community colleges in Bay Area to give myself a back up but looks like my back-ups are discouraging and frustrating. LMC should be inviting me to take the TEAS 7 around the second week of June and will see if I will get in or not. It will solely be dependent on my TEAS 7 score and I will have to work as hard as I can in the next few days to make sure I score the maximum points. It's very encouraging and uplifting how you have all poured in your support. I am frustrated but have not lost hope yet :)!

How many people have gotten accepted? I don’t understand why they haven’t sent out emails saying we didn’t get in yet and end this misery

I got my rejection letter last week. Reach out to the nursing dept, their email is in the brochure.

Did they send it to you ? Or did you reach out to them then they told you ?
