Thanks paragon and good luck, i hope you read this before friday I copy pasted an old thread from last year with some of the things to expect for the interview. You will do great, i don't know if you ever made it too an open house, but remember at this point you have one foot in the door, this is just for you too get the other foot in.

Im not sure if you read this particlar thread before, but this is the link to the students who got in last year, its a great thread and has some of the questions they were asked during their interview.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Hi mystiqx,

It has been interesting following this thread and I am finding myelf really pulling for all of you! even though I am not at the same place (just starting to think about pre-reqs, already have a BA in unrelated field) I thought I'd post anyway and ask where you all did your pre-reqs? even in this beginning stage I am feeling overwhelmed as to how/where to start....

Thanks!
Well it depends on where you live.
I started out at Hunter and wasn't too thrilled, though there are several Hunter applicants on this forum. I found city tech to be the one place that I got into classes easily as a non-matriculated students, you go down to the school, you put in your application form you tell them what class you want to take and they register you. Alot of the other city school, you have a matriculate yourself to get access to the classes, at least thats what I have discovered. Also, I am taking several of my pre-reqs online, that I clarified with Beth Israel first before I registered for them. SUNY Learning Network, has a huge catalogue of classes they offer and very cheap, my Developmental Psych class only cost me $372 ($117 a credit) and there are still other SUNY community colleges with cheaper per credit costs than that. SO, just to clarify/ summerize
I took
A&P 1 and 2 at city tech
Planning to register for Micro at City tech for the summer
I also took chemistry 1 and 2 at city tech when I thought I wanted to go to pharmacy school.

I am currently taking
Developmental psych through the SUNY learning Network with Herkimer County Community College.

I am currently registered for Nutrition through the SUNY Leaning Network at Schenetdecy County Community College. Im registered for Intro. to Sociology through the SUNY Learning Network with Herkimer County Community College. Im taking both over the summer. ( I can't get over the fact, that ive been to school twice already, have a ton of credits and never took an intro to sociology class) anyway

Here is the link

If you decide to take classes online and have any questions feel free to ask.

Are you considering applying to Beth Israel? The one good thing about them is you don't have to have any of they pre-reqs to get in, the offer all the courses you need within the program. I did all of the pre-reqs, well as many as I could, because I want to get the part time schedule, since I have to work.
Im still waiting for a phone call, trying to keep my hope alive as corny as that sounds but this is the most fustrating situation I have ever encountered.
