Delta college! (Rant)

U.S.A. Louisiana

I was suppose to start school for my 3rd and last time after 3 years. I went to my meeting with the board to try to get in. I was so motivated and knew I had it in the bag. Well apparently I did not.

I went in the meeting and say down the ladies started grilling me with questions telling me

How I couldn't do school cuz I have 2 kids

What ima do when My kids father decides he doesnt want to pay the bills anymore

What ima do when me and My kids father break up

Who gonna watch the kids when my kids father decides he doesn't want to watch them anymore

How 2 years is too long of a program for me

And how I need to do medical assistant because they get paid the same

Then they asked me where do I work

How much do I get paid

Who pays my insurance

What year is my car

How much is my car note is

Did I do the math about how I am going to pay for everything and going to school!

How I need a plan!

All of this to get back into school that I will be paying for out of my pocket. A $23,000 program. They have given me my validation and I am not returning to this school. Is it just me or is this too personal. I left in tears and in shock that they do this to people.

I agree, the questions were over the line. I have heard the schools around here also try to discourage working while going to school. However, this is the real world and unless you still live at home with your parents, and they are willing to pay your bills, most folks have to work. Also, I would think schools would welcome working/responsible adults and try to accommodate them. I have heard so many stories where young adults enter the program fresh out of HS, complete the program, work a year or two, only to decide they do not want to be Nurses.

To play Devils Advocate, the school interviews are likely designed to put people in the program who have the highest probability of passing. This makes the school look better when they have a high success rate. This also allows them to demand higher tuition and possibly get more money from the State.

I defiantly agree but they have no way of knowing how I would have performed! But I guess it was not meant to be and that's fine. :)
