I already applied for Nursing at SJSU for Fall 2012 and I am just waiting for the acceptance/nonacceptance now. I am beyond stress and worried that I might now get in because I am competing with so many smart applicants. I impaction is extremely low, its a 10.08, and usually the cut off are around 10.02-10.10, so I am basically at the cut off point. I am proud of my impaction score because I know that I did the BEST I could, but the problem is maybe my best isn't enough. I really want to focus on my current classes right now, but I find it extremely hard while I wait for my possible denied letter. I don't have an option B career, nursing has been the only thing I wanted to do ever since I was little, so if I don't get in, i'll be extremely disappointed and depressed. I contacted the nursing committee to ask them when they will be sending out the acceptance/denied letters, and they said they would be sending letters out the first week of May. Waiting is really tiring. I okay to wait if you know you have a high impaction score and have a high chance of getting in the nursing program, but if you have a low impaction score like me; in the range of being cut off, it's really nerve racking. I really hope someone understands what I am going through, because I it's really hard to express with words how I am feeling right now. Thank you guys. I appreciate any advices/input! What was the lowest impaction score that got into the nursing program your semester?
Biglaugther, Let me first say that you sound like an amazing, dedicated person, and I know you will go far in life. If you have the passion for it, I promise you you'll get into nursing school. I got accepted to SJSUs nursing program last semester and let me tell you boy was it competitive. I honestly didn't even think I was gonna get in. TO my suprise I did. But the most important thing I wanted to tell you is this: although all of the accepted people from last semester decided to go through with it, a few days before orientation (which was the week spring semester was scheduled to start) two girls dropped out. The nurs department still called 2 more people from their 'waitlist' to replace the two, even though we were literally about to start classes in like 3 days. These two girls joined us and literally had to do their background check, health statement very quickly. PS: What's your name?? I might know you haha
I actually cried reading your post. Reading your post gives me hope; I still have a shot at this. It's just that I am so stressed... I am so bipolar right now, one moment I think it's alright, 9 more people will drop and I will get in, a few second later, "no one is going to drop, if it was me, I wouldn't so why would they?".... 9 is large number, I really don't think that many will drop since it is so hard to get into the nursing program, so why would they drop.., but I am still clinging on to the last bit of hope. This is like a second rejection if 9 people don't drop. I am going out of my mind. I am still depress out of my mind. I can't even concentrate on my finals, essays, midterm....If I didn't make it in this semester, I won't be able to make it in next semester because my impaction score will go down.

I am more stress than ever, I feel like I am going to get rejected a second time; gosh I really hate this feeling! Nursing is constantly on my mind, I checked my email like 65 times a day, and check this website more than 54 times a day to see if anyone update anything. To see if anyone drop or not. I don't know what else to do; I just need you guys to pray for me.
