Wow I like your acronyms...May I ask what school you theme don't in Sept? I am also staring in sept and his is my third try. You are right these programs are accelerated and very fast paced. The first time i didn't take it serious an didn't know what to expect and ended up dropping out. the second go round I failed micro by 2 pts and I had to repeat the program so I going back but to a different program and area. I plan to be successful this time. I am gonna write your tips down and use them. Thank you
