Did the email give you an alternate number? Do they even have that or is it another lottery?

My email just said I was an alternate - No number given.

I am alittle confused though regarding the alternate letters. If the deadline was yesterday and they have one round of alternates already does that mean alot of people who were accepted declined their spot?

I just received an email today at noon saying I am chosen as an alternate.

Most likely yes..I'm assuming a good amount of those accepted and offered a spot initially declined by yesterday's deadline (myself included)...which would've then bumped up the first line of alternates to be offered admission (which I'm sure they were sent emails offering the open spot and also given a separate deadline to accept or decline the spot) ...in addition those that were still waiting to hear anything back from the school were also probably sent out emails notifying them as the new round of alternates (in the event any first round alternates also decline the open spot)...and so on and so forth...

And that will continue until they fill the spots in the program. :)

Hope that didn't confuse you more...

Thanks for the explanation! It makes perfect sense and good to know. So basically we are alternates for the alternates...I can live with that for now. Hoping to hear from two more schools so at least there's still a chance for direct entry elsewhere. But PCC is in my top two preferred nursing programs. So Yay!

For those of you who are alternates and haven't taken the TEAS test. I would like to get together and form a study group for the test. I'm scheduled to take it in about 3 weeks. I live in the sylmar area, in San Fernando Valley. If interested please PM me and we can arrange a place to meet and study .
