Sorry to those who did not receive the news they were hoping for. Good luck to those who are still waiting to hear back.

Everything will fall into place for everyone regardless of what program we all end up in :)) I do just wish we have the peace of mind knowing sooner rather than later

Anyone hear back for acceptance/waitlist? The suspense is intense?. Sending best vibes to everyone in the waiting game limbo. Ngl I've been checking this forum like a hawk between work. Whats everyone been doing to quell their anxiety?

The suspense is definitely real. I don't think we will hear back until Thursday. For now I'm just taking it day by day, trying to distract myself with any little thing.

Sending good vibes to everyone!

They may be delayed due to higher number of applicants this year. It's a good sign because they're diligently looking at our applications. Take solace in that they're REALLY thinking about us being apart of cohort LOL.

*application reader looking at application* "hhmmmmmmmm ? "

Is there any particular reason why you think it might not be until Thursday? I'm on the edge of my seat here...trying to keep myself as distracted as possible!!

I know that UCI's program heard back Thursday. Also, I referred back to last year's cohort and they heard back on Wednesday. So I reckon it could be either one of those days.

I did hear back from UCI on Thursday as well so you could definitely be right...really had my fingers crossed for today -- the anticipation is killing me. Good luck!

I wish you all the best of luck. I understand how difficult it can be to wait for a response from the program. I was once in your shoes, just last year and the year before that, so remain positive. For those of you who may not be accepted in this cycle or end up on the waitlist, don't lose hope. It's worth noting that some people in the program got in during the third round. All the best.

I've been trying to concentrate at work, my patients are a good distraction because they require my full attention. Other than that, hanging out with friends more often has been a plus. The struggle is real with this anxiety though.

I remember you, WannabeRN2023. You gave me so much encouragement when I was rejected last year and gave me tips on how to strengthen my application. I'm hoping they give me a chance this time, I haven't heard back yet! Thank you again.
