So I've been giving it some thought since January about going back to school.
Back when I first went to college after HS, I was still living with my family and dealing with all their passive-aggressive BS forced me to quit.
Seriously hearing the "We can't afford it/go get a job/call and cancel that interview cause you need to focus on school!" arguement everyday got old really really fast. I even got cursed out from prospective managers on more then one occasion for having to cancel my interviews.
So anyway, now I'm older, married with kidlets and thankfully free of all the parental BS. I've also threatened to kill anyone who tells my family that I'm going back to school.
I have to re-take the ACT test first, then get all my transcripts in order and apply to the program.
I'm of course very very nervous about the whole thing. I do test well, but what's got my worried is that my first college transcript doesn't look very good since I did drop out in the middle of a semester. Also the program I'd like to get into (Veterinary technology if anyone's curious) only accepts 47 students per year.
Is it a bad sign that I've read over the course descriptions and they all sound high school level/laughably easy? Also my friends trying to scare me with stories of artificially inseminating cows doesn't bother me at all.
Anyone done anything similar to this and can offer advice? Will there be an interview process as well as the testing/application?
Any good thoughts or well-wishes would be great. My test is scheduled for March 11th.
