Hello from Minnesota

Hey esunada!Sounds like we have VERY similar backgrounds. Congrats on doing well in and loving the prereqs! I've heard that A&P are actually the classes that "weed" people out, but I think pretty much any science course might do that.

Where are you thinking of applying? What was your first degree in? I am starting the post-bac program at St. Kate's this fall, after working towards this for the last 3 years (and thinking about it for at least 6 years!). I'm really thrilled to be doing this finally. My first degree is in Women's Studies from the U, and in 3 weeks, I will be DONE with my corporate gig. I'm so excited. I'm hoping to find something part-time in retail or customer service or food service, so that I can find something part-time in healthcare. I've got a plan...

Nice to meet you, and welcome to the MN site! Read up and keep posting and let us know your thoughts!

Ah, Soc and English! Fun. That's actually probably more useful than Women's Studies, though.

Interesting that St. Kate's is probably not accepting applications for Fall 2010. That's a bummer. Keep working towards the other programs, though; they're just as good! I thought about Mankato, too, but figured I'd have to buy a new(er) car in order to make the commute, so then I ruled it out. But I've heard from people on this site and others that it's a really great program.

I've looked at different waitressing positions, and talked to a few people, and it seems that most restaurants want at least 2 years of recent serving experience, which I don't have. I used to waitress, but haven't done it for oh gosh, 5 years? I'm a quick learner, and I feel like waitressing is like riding a bicycle (you don't really forget how to do it, especially if you loved it like I did), but so far, no one will give me a chance...

Anyway, hope the semester is going well for you!!
