I have a question- how does the alternate list work?? How do you get accepted if you are out on the alternate list? Are people with 16 points begging out on the alternate list?

A lot of people apply to more than one program. Some choose to go to a different one and some people just decide not to start yet completely. That opens up spots.

also, some people may not have all the necessary documentation to start or may fail a drug/background check, opening up spots.

my class had quite a few people get in off the wait list. But no, 16 points hasn't been waitlisted much recently. I have a friend who got in for the Spring with 14 points because they expanded the program and are accepting 120 per class

Thank you SO MUCH! This took so much weight off my shoulders ? do you have any advice on the TEAS?

If you've taken your science classes you'll be fine! I hadn't taken them yet (and had been out of college for a decade) when I took mine. So I got a subscription to a website called smart edition academy and study it hard for a month, focusing on the science areas.
