6. Ohlone Fall 2010 - did you get an email?

   sheilam replied to sheilam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   They are taking 20 for fall and 20 for spring - as I understand it, if anyone in the Fall class (#s 1-20) declines, they move people in the Spring class (#s 21-40) up to fall. They will then move...

    Wow Jennafez - congradulations on both counts? Did it look like they sent a mass email to all winners (I'm just hoping that maybe she just hasn't sent mine yet....) Good luck!

    sheilam replied to sheilam's topic in California Nursing

    I've heard that too, kay26 - but I believe if you work hard and really want it, it will work. :) (though i'm starting to think that doesn't quite apply to lottery situations!) I'll definitely see you...
