    JaRoJoCT... Norwalk was my 1st choice this year. I tried Gateway last year & got wait-listed... A few people told me that a ton more people applied to GWCC since they have the night-time...

    Unfortunately Mixy, I'm not sure that's true... I was #21 on Gateway's wait-list last year and did not end up with a spot... The wait-list for Gateway had over 70 people I think, and they didn't even...

    orourkco, I checked on June 11 & the list hadn't moved at all since I last checked on May 11th, when the list had moved 2 spots. It was pretty disappointing that it hadn't moved at all in a...

    jdoll -- so some people were accepted without their A&P II grades in? I don't quite understand how that works... About the people waiting to decide until orientation - I guess that's your...

    kangaroo621 replied to orourkco's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    It made me really sad too : ( I wanted to ask a million more questions - like have you gotten through all the accepted students' replies yet, or are there more to be processed, or is there ANY...

    kangaroo621 replied to orourkco's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I talked to someone at Gateway who said I'd moved up 2 spots on the waiting list now that the deadline for students to accept has passed. Ugh. Somehow I thought it would move a lot more than that : (...

    kangaroo621 replied to orourkco's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I was waitlisted at Gateway as well... She said they do pull people off the waitlist as classes are beginning so those spots don't go to waste. Spots open up at the last minute for the spring...

    kangaroo621 replied to orourkco's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    orourkco, At least for Gateway (not sure about the other 4), people have to send in their decision by May 3rd or (May 5th?). However, the admissions woman also said that things often change after that...

    kangaroo621 replied to orourkco's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I just spoke to someone at Gateway -- the waitlist numbers we're all getting ARE school-specific. There is NOT one big list for all 5 schools. I wish they would make all this clearer in their letters...

    kangaroo621 replied to orourkco's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Does anybody know how many people were accepted off the wait list for Gateway last year? How many people are in the fall class? How many in the spring? Is there any way of knowing if they've started...

    Doesn't seem like medical advice to me, but I could be entirely wrong. Here's some info on antibiotic use from the redcross.org: http://www.redcross.org/services/biomed/0,1082,0_557_,00.html#ant...
