Jun 15, 201313 yr Author After a few phone calls, we're still at the same place. Still number 31 and waiting for someone to drop. What a mess
Jun 15, 201313 yr 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...That is just messed up. Hope you get your slot.

It appears that you thought you were accepted. Turns out that everyone on their list was accepted, except you because you were #31. Fast forward a few days and you have been officially accepted again. I kind of had the opposite experience... I was told that I was accepted, then I got this rejection letter... So I just had to find out for sure... and about that same time I got another letter saying effectively "oops, we goofed. You're really accepted..."
Jun 21, 201313 yr Years ago, my sister had applied to nursing school and was put on a waiting list...well she didn't want to wait. She joined the Army and became a nurse there. However, a week after she left for basic training the school called and someone had dropped out and they wanted her. Glad you got in, but goes to show patience is important to getting into school!! :)
