Good old CSEB. Man, I almost had a heart attack over this school. Got an email late Monday(5/19) saying that if I didn't reply to it by midnight they were giving my spot away???????????? I never got a letter from them, I get something from CSEB every day in the mail, junk mail that is. When I commented to a person in the nursing dept. she said "oh, yeah I have gotten a few calls from people who didn't get the letter in the mail, we're gonna send em out again and they should get them next week????" A bunch of stuff has to be in by the end of the month and these people may not even know that they got in, didn't reply and their spot was given away. With 700+ applicants I konw it can be tough, but man they need to be on the ball with stuff like this, it is our life after all.

Greetings all, I got a call from Merritt ADN program in Oakland on the 2nd of May. They said that they wanted to schedule an appointment for the TEAS test. I told them that I already took the test and got a 99th percentile score. It was a pain to get my TEAS results finally sent to the school. On the 14th I was informed that my results were in and that I would be recieving a call to set up an appointment to go over my test results??? So now it is two days later and no call??? I don't want to call and make them grumpy but man this is my life we are talking about here!!!!!!!! What really sends my head for a loop is all the different materials pertaining to admissions at the school. They changed everything this year on some documents and not on others. One sheet says that if I pass the TEAS(which I did) then I will be scheduled for a meeting and given my start date for the program. I should be happy but I have a sneaking suspision that I could still get hosed. After 3 years of trying and over 20 tries at various lotteries I am left this year clinging to 29th alternate at Los Medanos and 6th on the alternate list at Samuel Merritt. I hear form CSEB on the 31st but, I didn't get in there last year with a 3.7 99th percentile so I won't be suprised when I don't get in this year. Sorry to be so long winded I am losing my mind waiting.... AARGH!!!!
