It's a bit overwhelming. There has been a lot of hurry up and wait. I think I have most of the stuff taken care of. I'm just waiting for financial aid to get their act together and to find enough time to get my ID and books. Fortunately I didn't have to relocate. :) When do you start your program Gabby and where did you decide to go? I'm very happy for you!

28 days and counting!

Thanks Gabby! If anyone needs any help with anything, I am a Tucson resident. I've only been here 3 years, but I still may be able to help. Also, to anyone still waiting and reading this thread, there is still hope. I've talked with a few ladies currently in the program and many of them were on the alternate list and didn't get in until much later. :)

I'm IN!!! See you in a few weeks!

So how is everybody doing?

Speaking of which, I was just rejected from the traditional BSN program too. I don't think I have whatever U of A is looking for. Gabby - I'm sorry you decided against U of A for now, but rest assured that Nevada has plenty of good programs too. Plus, you can always reapply if you feel U of A would be better for you.

Still haven't heard a thing. I don't think I will be getting in this year. Did anyone here apply to the traditional BSN program too?

They said they would start selecting alternates pretty soon. They didn't give a specific date, but they said they would evaluate those on the waiting list once they knew how many spots they need to fill immediately. So I take that to mean anytime, beginning tomorrow... maybe. Spring break started this week, so I don't know what kind of hours they keep. You said earlier that you knew some people on the waiting list who got called on, when did they start hearing?

When I dropped off the alternate list acceptance letter they said they only placed about 20 on the list. Also, I called Friday afternoon and they said they had about 20 waiting.

I hope that a lot of people will not accept since there are only 9 sponsorship spots, the programs price tag went up significantly, the letters came out long after many other schools, and there is less than a week to accept. I was also told that they don't have any more alternates then they expect there will be open spots by May. So lets keep positive and hope for good news!

I'm wait-listed too.

I counted how many people were on the schedule that was hung up in the meeting room. Also, there was a nursing student at my work that is currently in the ABSN program and her teacher, who was also conducting some of the interviews, said there was around 200 people selected. Regardless, it has to be tough cutting 50% of the list. I hope for good news next week.:redbeathe

No. This weekend is going to be so long...

The interviews were very short since, like Zhongguolong said, they were interviewing nearly 200 people. There were 3 to a group with 2 interviewers per group. They asked very basic questions; mostly questions about personal and academic character. I didn't go to the hospital interviews, but there were a lot of others that did. So will they be deciding and sending out letters this week or next? All they told me was the beginning of March. I've been running out after the postman every day - the suspense is killing me! Good luck to you all!

Well, the big day is approaching. Good luck to everyone tomorrow!
