just recieved my letter of acceptance yesterday

thank you for that update! did they tell you any other information?

That's true, I guess you could wait?

I think they should respond to you either way? Why not call them and ask?

Got an email a month ago that I passed phase one and they will be continuing to go through the phase one passes through to the end of may. I'm assuming by the end of June they will know who they accepted.

I applied as well got in at the top 90 and got an 85 on the teas. They said they will be letting the ones who applied for the RN know by beginning of May if they got in or not.

HEY i replied earlier but not sureif it went through so sorry if this is repetition. So I got the waitlist number around mid-end May then nothing opened up so I actually called them back and they said sorry no one dropped out so they didn't take any waitlist people.

Hear back for the lvn? They tell you your waitlist number in end of May but if you never get called they don't really talk to you again lol

Words to live by as a nurse, CYA!

were you an alternate?

So I called and asked last week and they said no more people will be accepted this year but starting next year they are doing a merit system so hopefully that will be better then a blind lottery system. Hope you get in next year!

What number were you on the alternate list?

Seems like the first day of classes is on a friday this year, keep me posted if you hear anything and I will do the same!

And how late did they call your friends? August?

I'm number 11 and number 6 at san mateo and #4 at cabrillo and i've called all schools and theyve all told me not this year haha but yes you never know. It's just hard to put your life on hold till what is it? mid august?

Yes they mentioned that in the nursing handbook I think thats much more fair then this but we will see. Every other post from the last few years said they took most of the alternates which I dont understand what happened this year. Were you on the alternate list last year you applied as well?

Sorry I miswrote that, not 4 from the alternate just 3 in general. I had a few workmates who said they spoke to the counselor who said they usually take people first time they apply but it seems its gotten very impacted. I applied to other schools but apparently its been a bad year because SF only took 1, San Mateo only took 2 and cabot didn't even open up because they were too impacted from years passed. I looked into united but they want about 50 something thousand and then started asking me to redo my english and math even though i got an a in them for another almost 10 thousand so i said forget it. I'm just going to reapply next year but yes its disappointing I'm very sorry.

So when i called them I mentioned that i noticed they had 11 spots open online. It was explained to me that they used more then half of that number to accept back students who applied last year but failed so they were able to go into remediation and start this year and they had held those spots for them. Thats why they only took 4 off the alternate list. I also asked about the additional grants and they told me that the grants had already been used up and there would be no additional coming through that what I saw is al it is this year. It's discouraging but they were pretty blunt about it with me anyways.

Hey! I am also on the alternate list, I havent heard anything. I called a week ago and inquired about it and they told me that space is dependent on others who were accepted declining their space which no one has so they dont foresee calling us this year....

Oh good I haven't completely lost it, there's still something in there.

i know the doctor said I'm having a heart attack but I left some food on the stove so i need to go turn it off before it burns then I'll be back to deal with this.

no one died
