BLS has 2-3 years until it expires.

Yeah, I know but stuff happens. Maybe someone gets it as soon as they submit their app and they go through 3 or more rounds like I did to get it and that's a whole year or maybe something happens and you gotta take a leave from school. I'm just saying not to get it /too/ far in advance! (Although it is always great to be certified for something like this)

I would say get all your immunizations and stuff like that before acceptance as well. Although I would wait on the BLS certification because it has an expiration date and if you got it before you got accepted then it's likely it will expire while you're in school and then you'll have to take some time during busy semesters to go get recertified.

Exactly my reason for delaying it... ?

is there a list we can see all the immunizations and everything we need before starting or will we get more info during orientation?

Oh, ok.. I wouldn't think that a person would wait through three rounds for the same school without applying to another school.. Oh, well.. I guess... I'm older so I tend to plan a little further out than the regular student. I have a backup plan for my back up plan. I'm not waiting for 3 rounds for UT. If I don't get in ill move on to the next school.

If you click on the "SON required immunizations" that's in orange it'll give you the immunizations you'll need as well as all the other steps you need to do before school starts.
