Hey guys, just thought I would give you all an update on how my midlife career change is progressing.
After more than a year of getting all me prerequisites out of the way, I missed getting into the radiology program here at NHTI by 3 lousy points. The cutoff this year was 54 and I had 51. To make matters worse my academic advisor did not advise me on the best path to get the maximum amount of points. I took one class I should not have and there were two others I could have taken to increase my points. That is what I am most upset about
Anyway the next day after I found out I didn't make it, I started calling other schools. Only one other school in NH that has a radiology program and it is about an hour away in Lebanon NH. They had already taken their 20 students, but said if I applied right away I would be at the top of the waiting list. I applied. One week later they emailed me and said they had an opening and I needed to come in for an interview with the dean and the head of the rad program. Today I found out that I was accepeted and I will be starting in the fall.
Yay!! I don't have to wait another year to apply again.
