ACCEPTED🥹🥹😭😭
DO NOT give up.
I am a second time applicant, and I applied to 17 schools total — originally 15, but I added 2 more on March 1st. Ironically, the two schools I applied to later are the only ones I received interviews from.
Program A has already accepted me, but the total cost will be around $200,000. Program B would cost closer to $100,000, which is a huge difference financially. However, Program B has not yet received accreditation, so they cannot officially accept students until that process is completed. Both programs are out of state and begin in August.
For reference, my stats are:
• GPA: 3.7 Scgpa- 3.5
• Patient Care Experience (PCE): \~5,000 hours
• Shadowing: \~400 hours
• Letters of Recommendation: 5
I’m feeling stuck because Program A is already trying to move the process forward, but I do not want to invest too much money or commit fully until I hear back from Program B. At the same time, if I get accepted into Program B, I will likely lose the seat deposit for Program A which I’m not worried about because long term I would save so much and ultimately program B is my top choice because my brother lives close. Should I call program B and tell them I got accepted into program A and just tell them my situation and just ask once they get accreditation if I would be one to be accepted just so I know? Or is that rude
