Hi, all...I thought I'd share what is stressing me and maybe you could offer help! I have applied to my school's Paramedic Program, and have been told by many people that I have a good shot at it. (I work in a busy ED as a tech, and volunteer at my FD). Anyway, this year they are conducting oral interviews, as well as looking at GPA and points for the program. Last night I got THE CALL from the program instructor that he wants to schedule an interview for me!!! YAY!!! Then, he said I am "30" out of 42 applicants, and he can only accept 26 students. Just as I thought about silently crying, he said this placement however, does not take into account the points for my math class that I will be submitting over the next few days, and also the points I will earn in my interview. I asked him straight up (politley) if he thought I had a chance (couldn't help myself-had to know!) He, said "yes, you have a chance, but without above said points, you would be on the CUT line. AHHHH!! Now, I'm really freaked out. I have been working really hard, am an A & B student for all pre-reqs, with one unfortunate C. Hopefully I really do have a chance. I know I want this for the right reasons, and have helped in many "saves" in the ER. Does anyone have any encourgement for me??? My interview is next thurs and won't know acceptance status until sept 5!! This is everything I have been wanting. Help!!
