   If you scored lower than the national average on any of the teas sections you have to do remediation. Also, you have 4 math exams and must average 90% of you're dropped from the program.

   You're welcome :) I personally chose not to work. However, I am in a position where I don't *have* to -- my mom let's me live at home for free and the only bills I have is my gas tank, phone and Netflix. Several of my classmates worked though. I don'...

    The only thing that makes sense to me is that alternates 1 & 2 probably gave up their spots because they got in elsewhere, or weren't able to accept because of life circumstances. We start Tuesday and it's not guaranteed everyone will show up so...
