Hi all,

I’m applying to the MLT program at Folsom Lake CC for the 2027 class and was wondering if anyone can speak on their experience landing jobs in northern Central Valley/East Bay area and salary opportunities.

If anyone has transitioned from MLT to CLS, please share your experience getting into CLS programs as an MLT, what your experience in the program was like, and where you’re at now.

I already have an A.A. In natural sciences, 3.9 gpa with over 100 semester credits, 96th percentile TEAS score, but have been rejected by my local nursing program twice, which is a points based admission. Hopefully this could be another fruitful outlet, as I truly enjoyed microbiology. Thanks!

I finished lecture 0 over the course of a week. I have a family with 3 kids and work full time, so I try to squeeze learning in when I can. I’m starting from zero and feeling a bit overwhelmed by the assignment set 0. Not going to use AI for help, as I don’t get the same feeling of gratification when I rely on AI to complete or learn something.

I finished the first two assignments in about an hour, but feel like a minimal amount of what we learned in the lesson was applicable to the assignment. Fortunately, while digging through the library I was able to discover two functions to help me.

Questions:

1. Is it typical to feel this challenged by the most basic of assignments in the beginning?

2. Did anyone else feel lost and like the need to rewatch the entire lecture once getting into the assignments?

3. Would I benefit from restarting with CS50x before tackling CS50P?

TIA.
