mer3211 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 We had our final meeting and selected 14 alternates from our list of Holds. We have not sent rejection letters yet in case we need to select more alternates. At this point you may receive a spot on an alternate list but it would be after 14 people decline spots. I am unsure where you would stand on the next alternate list should one be needed. This is what Lori Beers responded with today. My guess is if we have not already received a wait list letter we did not make the 14 alternate spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisher0526 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I'd rather they put us out of our misery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumbledore Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Does that mean they've already sent out all the acceptance letters already? Seems like people on hold have just been waitlisted. Anyone accepted though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melkay12 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Thanks for posting, mer3211. I would rather have the letter of rejection in my hand, but it's good to sort of know what to expect at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kangak1 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 yea, does anyone know if they took ppl from the original waitlist and accepted them? were any of those acceptances sent out or still have yet to be sent out? ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumbledore Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 i tried emailing lori beers if they had sent out acceptance letters but she gave me the same reply as she did with mer3211. i guess they've already sent them out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tech1597 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I wish I could say that I am surprised, but I am not. Lock Haven has really been very disappointing from the start of this journey until now. They seemed disorganized from the beginning and started their interviews later than they said. I don't know about the rest of you applicants but during my interview they told me that they would only take less than 10% directly after the interviews and the rest they would pull from the waiting list. It seems as though that was some misinformation. While it may not affect Lock Haven, it really affects all of us who have put our lives on hold for the last 6 months, not knowing what the future holds. The lack of professionalism from Lock Haven has really irked me to the point that I will now accept other schools over Lock Haven, Lock Haven was originally my first choice but has fallen back pretty far now. I don't know just how I am feeling about them right now. More communication and more truthfulness would be appreciated. Good luck to all of you who have been waiting around for something from Lock Haven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k039877b Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hey All, Just wanted to let you know that I emailed Lori Beers and she said she was mailing out all the letters today and tomorrow. Hope this helps....Best of Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndiD Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hi everyone! I was accepted to the Coudersport campus back in January. I have decided to attend a different program and withdrew from Lock Haven this morning so that should open up at least one spot! Good luck everyone!

sarraeo26 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Lori told me via email that they will be mailing out my REJECTION letter tomorrow. I thought I did really good at the interview, but LH was my last choice anyways. Now I get to have a honeymoon! I just need to get into somewhere else! I feel the same way as tech1597. My life has been on hold for so long that I am losing it! I've put off my honeymoon plans which is now going to cost more money thanks to gas prices rising, and it sounded like a lot of people would be accepted from the "hold" list, and it seems like the opposite is true. At least she was nice enough to email me back and finally give me an answer. It shouldn't take more than a month to hear back, I think thats ridiculous, especially when the program starts in MAY. Oh well, just hoping for other options at this point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumbledore Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Sigh, I thought I did well too. Time to reapply and enjoy another year-long wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarraeo26 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 dumbledore...what kind of HCE do you have? I have been surprised by the decisions of some schools because I feel like I have a really good application. I'm curious as to what other people have done and if maybe my HCE is one reason I'm getting rejected (I am on two waitlists but thats not a real acceptance). I worked for 2 years as a pharmacy tech, just got re-certified and licensed. worked in an underserved clinic with seniors (as an americorps volunteer) for a year, have extensive volunteer experience at a complementary clinic for women with cancer, on a rape crisis line, with kids with diabetes, and a traveling doctors without borders-like group, and I have been working for 1.5 years as a personal attendant for people with developmental disabilities, basically doing what a CNA does but without the title. So I have several thousand hours of HCE but I'm wondering if the people getting accepted are EMT's or nurses or something?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tech1597 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Well I had a math/science gpa of 3.79 other gpa of 4.0 gre score of 1160 and hce was over 5,000 hrs as a X-ray and ct technologist. I also had very good letters of reference including one from a lecturer that teaches at lock havens pa program from time to time. My interview consisted of just three questions which I thought was quite unfair and didn't allow me to showcase myself at all, I simply thought it was because of my stats and my letter if reference. I was told that if I was waitlisted not to worry bcz they take so many people off the waitlist and only accept very few directly from the interviews without waitlisting them. Obviously you can see my disappoinment with the outcome of not getting into the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlessartemis Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Sigh...this didn't turn out the way I expected it too. Thought my interview went really well, but guess it wasn't good enough. Haven't gotten the rejection notice yet, but expecting it. GL on next rounds everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haymondholla Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Going to the Dec 16 afternoon interview. FYI, flying in if you're from out-of-state can be hugely expensive/a huge hassle. Flying in/out of Wilkes-Barre/Scranton seems to be a more reasonable idea....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk612165 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Those of you who didn't make it in this round, would you mind sharing your stats? I'm still waiting for any notification and was hoping to compare notes. thanks for considering & good luck with your other schools! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
