It's January 16th! We should have success camp either January 8/9 or 9/10! Also, I think we get our class schedules a week or two before classes start!

Dang! Sorry to hear that! I haven't received any news yet. If I do get in I think I will be declining my spot though. I just found out yesterday that during semester 2 and 3 clinicals will be 3 12 hour days a week plus more days for lectures. Does anybody know people in the program or know any more info regarding this? How true is this? I have to work to maintain health insurance that is required by the program so this would be impossible.

During your first semester you have a lab day, skills day, and lecture day for the first 7 weeks; after that your skills day is over and you'll begin clinicals-could be the same day, could be a different day. You'll continue to go to lab and lecture as you have been.

In the summer, classes start the week following you final week of first semester. You'll have lecture and lab for the first 4 weeks I believe is what it was, you'll then start clinical which is 4 weeks, 3 days in a row; for instance we went Wednesday, Thursday, Friday as well as your continued lecture day, ours was on a Monday.

Third semester is the most hectic but I wouldn't worry a thing about that until the time comes.

If you're needing health insurance go to ifcs.us that is a very bare minimum "insurance" but it'll work for the program.
