yeah that could be the case. that would suck though because they changed that rule like after the fact, so thats kinda dumb.. well now we know..we should all try for may. in the mean time, we can do our prerec at a community college to save some extra money..

i think you only need 6 months medical experience. thats true, maybe i should just let it go. my counselor didnt really have an answer. he jsut told me everything's done on my part. all i need to re enroll is to sign two pieces of paper after the jan. class starts.. i wanted to start now because works been really slow. i hardly even go in anymore. im on call now so i figure this is the best time to start.

i thnk they just changed that. because when i took the teas, they said you can take it as much times as you want, but now im hearing that you are only allowed 3 times. so my advisor finally called me, and was kinda pushing me for may. stating that he too didnt understand why i didnt make it in and that i for sure was a good candidate for may..-- hmmm yah ok.. kinda hard to convince me at this moment. so i asked who was in charge of the selection process..was it agroup of directors? etc..he said it was the DON who makes the decision and usally her decisions are final etc..so i told him i wanted to email her to see if maybe i can get a clear explanation of why i wasnt accepted? what can i do to improve my chances? etc etc.. he seemed a little hesitant, in my opinon, on giving me her email address. i said i would call and he was sort of stating something like, you can call, but she doesnt answer her phone. etc etc. and im thinking.. hmmm i had a hard time getting thru to you myself, but i didnt say it.. anyhow what do you guys think? i know its alrady done and over with for the selection process.but should i still try to email the don and see why?... the way he made it seem was like the DON is not very receptive to students asking questions.. he said they look at many things, grades, background, teas, experience, degree factor.. everything. im just cruious because i seem to be very qualify. thats why im just wondering. i mean i can start in may but thats such a long wait, as we all been waiting for so long even for jan. 2010. and to wait until may ..that seems forever! i just want to know what is it that i can improve on? so what should i do? do yo uthink i should email the don anways? or just let it go and try for the may spot?

ok so get this -- i called again and spoke with an advisor. now they are telling me that i did not make it in at all. not even as an alternate. they looked at the wrong file when they gave me that info yesterday. i dont know whats going on. and i dont know how they can look at the wrong account because i have a very unique last name -- anyhow, she was very nice and helpful but she couldnt get my file because my advisor has it and of course when she transfer me to him, he doesnt answer his phone.. so i left a message. i called her back and she said she;'ll leave him a note to call me asap. lets see if he does... i think somethings going on and they are not trying to say... now im feeling more frustrated if anything..cant seem to get an answer to anything..... any comments, opinion?

know what, i would call. i didnt even know iwas an alternate until i called. i got a denial letter too. also how many times did you take your teas? what happeend with me was they took my first one andi barely passed that one. they might have taken your first score by mistake like they did with mine

thanks, i hope so too. were you able to find out if you got in?

your right, i need to be more positive.. but it would suck after sitting in for a week to find out you cant start..! man i would be devastated! but yeah i guess thats another hurdle. hopefully i do make it..only time will tell now.. :/ ....

not sure how to check it on here but i guess it forwarded to my email account. hopefully my reply gets back to you. is your email a yahoo email?

i really hope so... im beginning to see how unorganized they are now. or maybe we just have to same advisor lol...i dont want to be too confiden this time and think i'll be in again .. specially after what had happened..so i'll just keep on keeping my fingers crossed... oh, i barely passed by 1 point to enroll so thats what i did and then i went to take the teas again the following week and turned the stuff in that i had at the time. man this sucks..i hate the what if feelings.. or am in or not etc etc...but what can we do. i think i;'ll go grab some coffee

you think so? they said they were picking 10 alternates. i was number 4 on the list. she told me to go for the orientation anways and that i should have gotten that letter. i think the main reason people might not continue is finanicial. i dont think i'll be able to attend either if i cant get a loan or financial aid...so i guess we'll see. but she was very nice and very informative. she told me to call her again tomorrow so she can look over everything else. she said they also need my official transcript which i turned in already also! oh - i got a 76 on the teas and everyone who passed the teas were taken into the room to fill out the enrollment and whats what i did. so the lady enterred that score for my teas score. of course i wasnt satisfied with that one and i took it again and got higher scores. the sad part is that, on the last day when i went to turn everything in, i asked the advisor to print out the high score and use that one. and also give me a copy so i can keep. so i dont understand why they didn;t take it. im going to be very upset if i dont get in, even as an alternate because that's not right. i shouldn't have to be an alternate because someone entered the wrong information. how would u handle this?. waiting until May would be way to long. i been waiting for jan for some time now already. and being as hard as it is to get in, do you think people would actualy want to drop out? ... did you get your letter yet? or find out any information? i think you have a good chance of getting in. im put as an alternate with a score of 76..and u also have medical experience. so i think u have a good chance. i dont see any other reasons...

ok i finally talked to another advisor who's working with my advisor. and she explained to me..im an alternate??? and what had happened was that they took the wrong teas score. they took my first one??? of all things. and my score was not good at all for that one. but she said i was an alternate and that i should come in for the orientation adn that i should have gotten a letter.. the only letter i got a denial letter.... well see... im wondering what my chances are of getting in as an alternate..this sucks....if they were gonna use the first score, i woudnt waste time and energy studing for the second one??? hmm what can i do now..its done ... i just pray that im able to make it in now.

hmm i duno? i have all those turned in including my cpr. only thing was that my advisor told me to holdon to the immun till orientation. and he said to also bring the cpr again,, but he made copies.. so i dont know. could be something im not seeing, but seems like everything is completed..

i know.im disappointed..but i cant for sure assume thats the reason, but im really thinking it is. even a couple of the staff that saw my paper work said yea i would have no problem. so i was just excited and confident that i was in..i guess in the back of my mind, i kinda thought there might be a chance he could have forgettin so i later faxed it..but it was like a week after the deadline..i printed out the form and signed everything and faxed it in...the holidays were coming so everything was just kinda crazy u know... but im sad now.. i should have just done it..then if i didnt get accepted..there could be other reasons..but i duno what they can be?.. my gpa for my associates was pretty good too.. i had a 3.5 gpa. so i dont know.. i tried so hard and come so far to just give up now you know.but may is a long time..i was really pushing for this jan...

thanks i hope so too. yes it was my responsibility. but when i turned everything in, he said dont worry about it, i;ll fax it for you. so of course i said ok, since they do have fax machines there. then when i went in to turn my letter which was liek the last week before deadline. thats when he didnt even have my folder and made me a folder with all my paperwork. and i asked if he faxed it..and he said oh yeah, ill get to it. so i thought ok. thats fine. but now that really bothers me. but you are right though, they would probably use that against me. but that sucks. i mean i dont see any other reasons why i cant get accepted. my background results are clean, the drug test clean. so i was very excited thinking ok i got everythign done. i even brougght in my checkup and shot records but he said they didnt need that yet..so i was very well prepared..im disappointed.. i;ll try calling again..but whats done is done. i dont think they can do anythign about it now..

ok so i tried calling like 3 times and all i got was voicemail. i left a message but still didnt hear back. so i went to get the mail earlier and i received a letter and i was not accepted.. im kind of ******. so i tried callig the director of admissons but he wont be back until monday. i thought i pretty much had a good chance and even my advisor said i would surely have a good chance of being in. i scored pretty high on my teas. have over 3 years medical experience, turned in all the paperwork. school transcripts, letter of work confirmation, etc. there could be other reasons why i didnt make it, but im thinking the main reason is probably my background check wasnt faxed in so they probably didnt even look at my paperwork. thats why i wanted to talk to the director of admissions. what do you guys think? and it would suck for me to have to wait until may of next year to begin. right now, works been slow so timing is really good for me to go. im disappointed if anything, and i just want to know why. i tried calling again, and got voicemail... any comments advice? i can sure use some..
