Finally have a Date!!!!!

It doesn't cost a thing to transfer. Called MPAC this morning and asked her if I could email them and transfer to NPAC. within 5 minutes of emailing them I called back to make sure she got it and she immediately contacted the NPAC. About 2 hours later, I called the NPAC and told her my story and she offered me two dates and I picked Dec 5-7.

This is where I got that idea...

Oh Sue, I hope it doesn't snow until after Dec 8th. I will arrive that Thursday. Now you got me scared!

As long as you're planning on getting in a day early you'll be fine. And you are.

:)

But we have real winter here - pack a heavy coat and boots. Your white shoes could get pretty slimed before you get to the hospital.

Congrats on getting a date!! So excited for you!!

I didn't see that! She never said anything about it. I'm guessing they will be sending me a bill. EC is so money hungry.

They do seem to nickel and dime us, huh? Best of luck to you! Sometimes that extra $100 seems worth it to finally get a date! I'll be lucky to test by January or February, I imagine.

Just read the letter confirmation they sent me and I don't have to pay it:

There is an administrative fee of $100.00 charged when a student transfers a performance examination appointment from one Regional Performance Assessment Center to another. However, since you did not have a scheduled exam date, this transfer fee has been waived.

are you kidding me???????

i would if i were you. i'm going to st. joe's in syracuse ny and i just booked me and my husband's airline tickets for $415 (total) for 2 round trip tickets on priceline.com. so the total will be about $700 including the hotel. there is free shuttling to the hotel and hospital so we don't have to rent a car.

are you kidding me???????

wish i were. this whole ec thing is not cheap. i don't live near any of the testing sites so i would have to fly to any of them. i could drive 6 hrs to georgia but of course they have the longest wait. so traveling to ny doesn't seem that bad.

i should have explained.... when i read what u did i talked with my husband about doing the same. of course he does not want me to travel that far so he is trying to discourage me by telling me that ill never get a decent price on airfare. i think you have a great deal going there and i think i am going to really consider making a change especially if i can get a date later in the year....

well i compared priceline.com and delta.com and they both were the same price but i went with delta because we can get the skymiles. i though $400 was reasonable considering it's costing us $800 to fly to florida in nov. but that includes all taxes and transfers to the boat but still a big difference. by the way when did you apply? when i first called the npac, yesterday they told me that they did not have anymore dates this year but when she found out i applied in june, she magically went back to her list and gave me two dates. she said they only thing she has is dates when people cancel but if you call and say i'll take a cancellation date, she will probably give you a date.

Dawn you are so sweet and supportive!
