I woke up and grabbed my phone so quickly, only to find nothing. There's only 2 possible days left ?

I did the same thing. I'm like would they really email us at night:) ha ha. Ohhh well. I guess they are really going to make us wait the entire month. Who knows what is going on. Maybe too many applicants. I also wonder if the UC professor boycotts a few months back had an effect on their schedule. Has anyone called? I figured that calling is pointless, and that we are just going to be told to wait!

Check your emails! I was wait-listed:(

Everyone, I just received an email at 11:38 AM. I am waitlisted also

I wonder how many spots are on the waitlist. They don't tell us what number we are unlike UCLA. I hope we can both make it in!

I wish we knew what spot we were in on the wait-list. Im trying to hold on to the little bit of hope I have left.

Specializes in nursing student.

guys I got in!!  I am literally shaking and crying out my joy. 

I hope you guys get in too!

Hi everyone! 

I was also waitlisted ? . I wish we knew how many were on the waitlist and our number. Good luck to everyone 

I was waitlisted also. Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us! A big congratulations to everyone who got in!!♥️

I got accepted! I had to sit with it for a while because I cried from joy-its been a long time coming. I'm so so sorry for those of you who got waitlisted I know that you put the equal amount of effort and it's sad that so many people want to get into a nursing program, that there's a nursing shortage and yet not enough spots. Does not makes sense to me. If find something out, I will definitely share with this group. 

I got in too!! Im so excited I was waiting on this one! Does anyone know how many people are in the cohort for the program?

Hi everyone,

I am also waitlisted ? last year I heard people waited and still didn't get in. I don't think I am going to take my chances on waiting on the waitlist. 

When is the deadline to accept?

Checked previous years' forums and they started accepting people off the waitlist about 4 days after the acceptance deadline. We may have to wait 2 excruciating months... ?
