vcu amsn/absn admissions

I'm new to this forum. Received a waitlist letter for VCU's AMSN program today. Anyone else hear anything? There was a note in my letter saying ABSN letters would be sent out mid-Jan.

I'm trying not to stalk my mailman. Good luck to you! Here's hoping we all get big fat envelopes in the mail tomorrow.

Just found out I'm wait listed. And totally bummed. :(

Anybody have anything inspiring to tell me about the waiting list process?

Kaner, keep your chin up. I have stalked so many discussion boards researching VCU, previous students, etc. I think VCU is a great school, but apparently it falls to # 2 or #3 for a lot of people. That opens up some spots when not everyone accepts. Then you have the people that can't afford this b/c they used up all their student loans for undergraduate for their first degree...b/c we are all 2nd degree students. Definitely keep your chin up. How did you find out? Nothing came in my mail today. :( If your going to reject me...make it quick for heaven's sake!

I was equally bummed when I received the wait list letter from the MSN program. Not quite sure if this has been stated, but the ABSN decision letters were mailed yesterday (I spoke with someone in the SON admissions. She sounded pretty confident in telling me that). I was hoping to receive it today, but no dice. I've never been so disappointed in President's Day as I have been right now with it being a no-mail day.

I'm going to think positive and say that the big, letter sized envelopes talke longer to get through the mail than the regular letter sized pieces of mail. My waitlist letter to MSN came a day before people reported getting acceptance letters. Keep a good thought. But yeah, Presidents Day sucks. Kaner, keep a good thought, I hear a lot of people get in off the waitlist.

I hope you're right, jt43! You make a lot of great points:) I'm betting since you haven't gotten anything yet, you're getting a big envelope. My fingers are crossed for you!!!

Kaner, did you apply to the masters program as well or just the bachelors?

jt43, you do make a lot of good points. I am trying to remain positive w/o being so hopeful that I am not prepared for anything....trying. Today will be another long day, like the day before. I feel like a 5 year old waiting for Santa and hoping I don't get that lump of coal. :) I hope everyone has an incredible week and lots of good news for everyone comes from it!

My mail doesn't come until 4 tomorrow. It's gonna be a LONG day.

Hey jt43...it is only 19 and a half hours away from the next mail drop! LOL (sorry at some point we have to make fun of ourselves or we will go nuts.)

I actually went as far as bugging a friend of mine who is in the OT program. I asked her...can't you find out for me, your on the inside?! She laughed at me and told me she found out about her acceptance during Mardi Gras. That I would have to wait like she did and endure the torture b/c she really wouldn't know a inside way to find out. It is some twisted right of passage. I have essentially come full circle and am fairly convinced it probably won't show up until next Monday just to spite me. :)

Nothing in the mail today...still waiting. :-/
