Not sure if this has happened to anyone else but my "official acceptance" was short lived. I was told on Monday night that I was number 30 out of my class of 30. I was so excited that all my hard work was paying off. Well Yesterday I went into work and basically gave my two weeks’ notice, to later get a phone call from my school telling me that they messed up and I was actually number 31! I almost dropped the phone because I was so devastated. My counselor went on to tell me that I will be number 1 on the alternates list and if someone can't pay for the course then I will take their place. She also asked me to attend the first week of class in case someone drops the class... again, I would take their place. If no one drops or can't pay, I will have to wait till October to start. The kicker to the whole thing is that my LVN program is an 8-5 class day, so if I start on July 1st and I get dropped I will be without a job or not get paid for that week that I took off. Either way I'm kinda screwed. Does anyone have any advice on this? I SHOULD find out more info about people not being able to afford the course this week but in the mean time I'm just in limbo.

Please let me know your thoughts...

Many people drop programs their first week. I would just hang on. My program lost several people their first week and all the alternates were accepted.

It's a beautiful day to save lives.

They actually said the same thing... I’m just looking at the worst case scenario. I hate being in this limbo phase.

I really think you will get in... I'd be shocked if you didn't. You may even learn that you have a spot well before classes start.

That said, unless they have a board-determined policy or legal restriction that would prohibit such a scenario (31 as opposed to 30 students), it could be argued that they should allow you to come into the class, even though you are actually #31, since the error was theirs in telling you that you'd been accepted.

Of course, you don't want to do/say anything to shoot yourself in the foot, politically, with them before classes even start.

But truly, truly, truly, I can't imagine that you won't get in to this class. I really can't.

I think you will get in for sure. Most people apply for multiple nursing programs and there's a good chance that a few out of the 30 got accepted into another program and would choose that program instead. Also not everyone has money to front for the class itself.

When I went to pay for my LVN program, there were people who received FAFSA, but didnt know they had to pay the rest of the balance since FAFSA didn't cover everything. They were in shock calling a bunch of people trying to locate the remaining balance.

1st on the waiting list, you have a GREAT chance of getting in.
