Hi there,
I am patiently awaiting an acceptance or rejection letter from UTHSC here in Memphis. Has anyone heard anything yet? I have applied to UTHSC, University of Memphis and Union University in Germantown. I would love to hear from anyone else that has applied. I'm getting nervous!
How do you all like the program? I'm patiently but anxiously waiting to hear back from them now for Fall 2016. They said I should know by mid-February. Is the schedule crazy or hard to manage? Do you feel like you're learning a lot even though it's an accelerated program? I take all accelerated classes now (even with Microbiology and A&P) and I love it, so I feel like this program would be perfect... but I guess we'll see if they think so!
Hello!
The schedule is crazy but it is manageable. The first semester you will think "what have I gotten myself into" and the second semester you may have thoughts of changing careers (I definitely have), BUT! most days I absolutely love what I am learning and the career I have chosen. The program is fast paced and it can feel like you have a million things going on at once, which isn't far from the truth but organization is key. Before each semester I make a chart of all the deadlines of assignments and when test days are and it keeps me on track with my studying and homework. Before I started the program I heard a lot of people say there was no time for family or friends but if you stay on top of things you can definitely have a social life as well. The first semester there will be a test about once a week so that was a difficult adjustment at first. The material isn't hard if you study a little for each class everyday. The biggest challenge most students had in the first semester was the math class so if you're not a math wiz, (which i am not) it would be beneficial to brush up on conversion problems.
Hope you get some good news soon! Feel free to ask any other questions!
