Thanks Vita108 :)

The students who got accepted into the program: First, congratulations :) Yesterday u should have attended the orientation. Did all the 30 students attend yesterday? Is that possible that anyone from the waitlist get accepted till the beginning of the program (June 22nd)? Did anyone who was waitlisted hear back from the coordinator? Any updates? Thanks in advance :)

Hi Aspiringprovider, I was in your shoes last year. If u r waitlisted, IMO, the first thing is to talk with the director/coordinator of the program and find out why u were waitlisted! One of the directors with whom I talked, was really helpful and I got accepted into the program, which was my first choice J But the same is not true about the other program! My GPA is high (4.0) both bachelor, master and, of course, pre-requisites. I got 99 and 95% on TEAS. Have about 300 hours of volunteering and 4 years of working in the health care field. But I was waitlisted for the 2nd consecutive year with NO reason! She just said that u did not do well in ur interview!? I can see that people who got accepted into this program did not have such high GPAs (around 3.1-3.4 too). SO I don't think ur GPA is that much bad. If u can retake some pre-reqs to improve ur GPA that would be great, but not the reason u got waitlisted or may be waitlisted again. Here in so cal I know CSULA and UCLA don't need GRE. UCLA even doesn't need TEAS. So u might consider them as well (So-cal is better than out-of-state). Another suggestion for u is that if it's possible for u, talk with the directors/coordinators before applying. U can find some really helpful and some really disappointing. In this way, u can avoid wasting ur time, money & energy on filling out their applications! Hope I could help u :)
