This afternoon, I got a phone from Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts. They decided to accept me into their rad tech program. Of course, I accepted over the phone. They're going to send paperwork in a couple of days.
Now here's the weird part- they're almost two weeks in notifying applicants. Their written agenda states that candidates are supposed to officially accept by April 15, so now I have only four days to accept. Not a lot of time to think about things, if I needed time.
Funny, but this school was my "catch all" backup plan, being that the tuition is $38k for the 2-year program. I had applied to this school thinking that if I couldn't get into any other of the schools, I would just have to suck it up and pay Gurnick and go to their school. (I was certain that I would get accepted to this school.) And as it turns out, they're the first ones to accept me! I believe that it's their strategy to get students to commit to go to their school, before they even find out if they can get into any other school. Sneaky.
In any case, if I get no other offers, I've got a school to go to this year. It's going to be hard to stomach the cost, but I'd rather pay up and get started with my rad tech schooling than wait another entire year to reapply to all the schools and hope that things turn out better the next time around! Congratulations to me!
A collection of blurbs stemming from mostly the motorized projects that I do. Some posts mixed in have to do with my experiences in X-ray school. (Some entries are from older blogs that I killed off.) Some of my toys are a Mazdaspeed Miata that I work on and take to the track, a little Harley that I can't stop modding and an old Yamaha RD400 that I've been collecting parts for over the past 15 years. When I'm not wrenching, sometimes I mountain bike, sometimes I snowboard, sometimes I make beer.
