Hey! I’m waiting on my (hopefully) acceptance for winter start. I talked to Theresa and she made it seem like they needed 15 people to fill the class, and only 16 people applied, with 2 ineligible. So now with the 14 people who are eligible, there will be a lottery to fill the 15 spots - I am soooo confused!!! I talked to her multiple times, for reasons that would take to long to explain, but she basically said I was in, but now I’m super nervous!!! Do you know anything about winter quarter start? Like did more people apply after the Oct 1st special deadline for winter? 

Hi Britt, so because of the new requirements, a lot of people didn't qualify for the original July deadline.  Everyone that qualified got in! (Unless they declined and went elsewhere).  So  even though we all got in, they did still do the lottery to decide if we got fall or winter.  If there is room for you all in Winter, I have no clue why they would still need to do the lottery.  They are pretty strict about the deadlines, so I doubt more people applied...are you still in the waiting period where those two people that were ineligible could challenge it why they are ineligible (basically bring proof that they are eligible)?  That may be it.  I think one or 2 people got re-added to our list while we were waiting too.

It’s so weird! I don’t know why there is a lottery either. Only 9 of us are listed as eligible out of the 16 who applied for winter, so if there are 15 spots we should all get it. Maybe I’m not supposed to even know any of this  I guess I’ll just keep my fingers crossed. Thanks for responding back to me

For the ladies that got in, in fall, I'm curious...what did you guys do during orientation?  I'm just wondering why it's a full day.

I am curious about orientation as well, also looking forward to getting our packet emailed to us today, ready to get this party started!

Packets are out!  I swear I think she waits until the end of the day to avoid having to answer questions all day lol.  I'm just going to have to make a list for Tuesday! lol  Looks like there are 21 students.

Awww the jitters of starting nursing school, I was told 4 days before  the quarter I was an alternate and there was a spot. How is nursing school for the ones who started in fall?

Hey guys! I’m in Fall 2019 level 1! It’s not bad at all! The hardest class is definitely pharmacology! Hopefully I’ll see you guys a around :)
