Waitlist Status

[DarkLotus]

The school I applied to was able to tell me that they got a total of 35 applications an I was the 33ed. They accept the first 30 qualified applicants. So if three people who applied were not qualified or choose to go to different schools, then I am in. However they do not know who will accept being admitted until they send out acceptance letters at the end of July and get responses. So has anyone gotten in to a program under these kind of circumstances?

My biggest concern is that I live in a different town to far to commute and my lease ends July. So I could move to the town where the school is not knowing if I am in or I have to renew my lease for six months (they won't let me do month to month). I currently work from home so I'm not too worried about loosing income and the cost of living in the college town is a bit cheaper then my current location.

Well I just found out that the program has decreased the number of accepted students down to 20 (or possibly 24 if they can hire another clinical instructor in time). I was optimistic being third on the waitlist but now I'm 13th! Oh and there were only 35 applications for what was thought to be 30 spots. I really have to choose soon if I will move to the new town or not because my lease ends next month. The town is very isolated and there are not many job opportunities there is one skilled nursing facility and the closest LTC facility is about an hour away.

Don't feel bad Darklotus I'm putting in my thirty day notice in tommorrow in hopes that my acceptance letter will be here soon. I'm stepping out on faith due to not being able to wait until it gets here to do all that I will have to do. Like moving and relocating my kids schools/daycare. We just got to do what we gotta do. If all turns for the worst for me then I will just resign my lease where I'm at before thirty days are up and cancel moving. My relocation is strictly in hopes that I get accepted and not for pleasure or anything else. Goodluck, step out on faith!!!!!!
