   waterfall99 replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in CNM

14. UCSF CNM program

    waterfall99 replied to fbee's topic in CNM

    I'm just curious as to why if you didn't get in, why are you waiting an entire year to reapply there? Why not consider a distance learning school? I'm curious to know people's reasons for choosing one school over another, other than location? Is th...
