Thanks for your reply. I am applying to other schools but Evergreen was the closest one....in the Bay Area all the schools select by lottery. The only requirement is to complete the pre-req and have a 2.5 GPA. Everyone goes to a poll and the ones that are picked up get into the program. I thought I would have more chances and the computer would select better scores but obviously not... a so-so student has the same chances than a good student.

I just got answer from Evergreen Community College in San Jose with the bad news that I didn't make it into the program. After working very hard in my pre-requisites, driving 3 hours twice a week for classes for 3 semesters I achieved straight A's in all my pre-requisite classes. I thought that this would help to get me into the program, but I guess that it didn't matter because is a random lottery... I remember classmates that didn't show up for classes and struggled with the material and barely passed but they might be the lucky ones that got into the program. I just can say I am heartbroken....maybe because I'm a guy I'm not supposed to become a nurse. I feel terrible....
