But I will press on, and apply for a third time next year.

Sorry gang, but as a few of you know, I've been back in school for the past two years attempting to get into a very limited program. The Radiation Therapy program here only accepts 10 students per year. Two years ago there were 18 applicants, last year was 28 applicants, and this year a whopping 37.

But, by rights, I should be in this program already. I have a 4.0 in all of my prerequisites, and the highest grade in my Physics course and both of my Biology prerequisites as well.

Just kind of ticked off tonight, because I was not even expecting the letter until next week. I listened to a coworker when they told me there was no mail today, but checked anyway just now as I was walking my dogs. Dammit!

Just needed to vent a bit, as I'm home alone and kind of peeved. :mad:

The only consolation is that if I got in this year, I would finish in December of 2013, but if I get in next year I will be completed only five months later. So, at least there is that. The flip side is I'm going to have to take the TEAS exam and volunteer 25 hours. Which is all okay, because I have a year to do those two things anyway...

Sorry again, just venting...

Dammit! :mad:

Maybe they dont want you :dunno

Better luck next time.
 
Re: Rejected for my program for the second time!

Point based system. I have 6 out of 7 possible, only because I was unable to volunteer in time this year. That won't happen again.

Thanks for the luck.

Sorry to hear this, dude. Frustrating, I'm sure. But keep plugging away. :duff
 
Re: Rejected for my program for the second time!

The rejection only makes me want to work that much harder at making it in next time.

I'm going to start searching for my volunteer opportunity this week, and studying for the TEAS exam (a new requirement for next year). And I'm a whiz at exams.

I dont know many people and have no friends.

That must be why I haven't gotten very far in life :(

you may compensate with some ability to kiss some serious azz though. :lol
 
Re: Rejected for my program for the second time!

Andrew, you're one of the most dedicated people I've ever met. Once you set your sites on something, you go after it with 110% effort. I know you will get there! :duff
 
Re: Rejected for my program for the second time!

Your persistency will pay off. Five months isn't too much time when you think about it. Good luck!
 
Re: Rejected for my program for the second time!

Why do they restrict number of students instead of hiring more teachers? I don't get it. Something is so fishy with the medical establishment. They like keeping the numbers down so they can overcharge everyone and make patients wait on the doctors as if they were gods.

Best of luck though!

As with most anything, it doesn't matter if you have the grades or qualifications, it's who you know. Chances are some of those that got in there were much lower than you. You need to find someone with pull to get you in.

I bet you didn't cry after watching Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Good luck next year. :duff
 
Re: Rejected for my program for the second time!

Sounds like you're doing the right things. Keep at it. The TEAS is retardedly easy so don't sweat that.
