They've changed the system a bit since last year, I think I had around 86 out of 103. The number of seats available and the number of applicants decide the cut off for entrance, and both of those numbers are variable. The best advice I can give you is don't give up. If you end up on the alternate list, keep your schedule open until the first week of classes. I got the call that a seat had opened up at around 4:45 pm on the Friday before classes started, and there were people who got the following Monday.

I'm going for my ASN (community college) because: 1. It's faster 2. It's cheaper 3. Hospitals around here will pay for school (BSN, MSN) once you start work as an RN. 4. Here in Gainesville, the local hospitals would rather hire a new Santa Fe grad (ADN) than a new UF grad (BSN) because we get a more practical, hands on education.

I'm a single guy in my first semester of an ASN program (one more week!!). I've been pondering the same dilemma, though maybe a bit more generally. I have a lot of smart and attractive classmates, and with school killing my social life it's not likely I'll meet someone outside of school. I've been very tempted to ask out classmates, but the prospect of navigating a new relationship (or dealing with a break-up) when we'll be in an intensive program together for another year and a half is pretty scary. I think you are right to wait and see, and your reasons seem pretty obvious and reasonable to me. If he really likes you, he should respect your feelings and just get to know you.
