Be patient. I didn't hear until the week before the first cohort started. They are getting slammed with applications. The campus was closed during thanksgiving week, so that's minus a week. I waited over 6 weeks. Trust me, I know it's hard.

I dont think you can honestly prepare to begin classes. I reviewed a book here and there and really, it was a waste. Probably more so for the excitement. There is so much going on in each class and no matter how much you think you already know...y...

Everything will be ok. Take loans. There is always the option for loan forgiveness. Some private employers pitch in a little....just need to negotiate. I'm 100% loans, plus some. Even with my one semester of gi bill. I'm thinking national guard or s...

I just came across this online program recently. It looks awesome and as far as their traditional program goes....very successful. I am in the process of my application for the oct start date. The admissions office seems very helpful!
I've been looking into this program. My major concern is finding my own preceptors. I'm new to the Wa area, so I do not have any connections. Any advice? Do you have yours lined up? Thank you!

I did. I drove up a little over a week ago and a couple of days later I was offered the job. I will be moving in less then 2 weeks. Very stressful, but a little exciting too.
