waiting list for mercy school of nursing

Published

So i just got my letter form Mercy school of nursing in Charlotte and they said i was # 37 on the waiting list for spring 2010. I know they accept 30 people. What i am wondering is if anyone has been in a similar situation at mercy school of nursing. And what my chances are of getting in. It is going to drive me crazyyyyyyy. I cant apply any where else with out my cna and i am tired of waiting i am ready to be a nurse. I am happy that i at least made it to # 37 it could have been a lot worse because a lot of people apply. Thanks for anyone that can help:wink2:

the odds don't look good.

that basically means that the 30 slots that are filled have to ALL drop out and then the top 7 on the wait list have to drop out ALSO for your #37 spot on the wait list to get the last available spot.

I do not think they do it that way if one person drops then the first person on the waiting list

Gets that spot. Is the way you said the way your school does it?

that's the way most schools do it using a ranking/points system, the top 30 ranked people get in, the rest are put on a wait list according to thier ranking/pts. they start at #1 on the waiting list then work their way up.

Specializes in One day CCU maybe!.

i can only mention the one person i know that was waitlisted. He was a 40 yr old male that was in the 9th slot. He was concerned it would be a while but he got in the very next semester. I believe they will put you in that semester and if you're waitlisted they fit you in the next. So for instance, if you're 37 (and they usually have a class of 40 not 30) then you should be in the first semester. If they've changed it to 30 students, you'll probably be in the following semester.

Just my guess though. I don't know that for a fact.
