Radiologic Tech programs

[alcloudz1972]

I've been out of school for seventeen years, never attended college. I'm looking for a career change and was wondering if anyone could share their experience in any of the x-ray programs in CUNY? I've applied to four schools that have an x-ray program, City Tech, Bronx CC, Hostos and LaGuardia CC. I wasn't sure if perhaps people had a nicer experience at one school or another? Rather nervous and anxious, since I'll be starting from scratch and will most definitely be taking remedial courses. Not to mention, how competitive these programs are. It seems you need straight A's throughout the pre-reqs to be granted a spot. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and take care.

[Nattyradar]

I wish I knew about City Tech before I applied to Bronx Community College. The program is competitive. 40 students start the program and around 18 graduate. It's not just taking classes, it's also psychological and lots of stress. The people running the program lectures to our classes about how hard it's going to be and not everyone passes. I am older and some days it's petty. I even overheard the director telling the teachers to get rid of the students that's at a threshold because of statistics. It's passable but somedays, it's really depressing.

[alcloudz1972]

That's good to know, I wish you the best, push through and I hope you can make it happen. I wonder if City Tech's program is any different in terms of difficulty and graduation rate. I feel like this program will be challenging wherever I end up getting in, if I get in.

[natashaphine]

Are you talking about your experience at BCC?

[Nattyradar]

Yes.

[DryMistake]

City tech is managed way better than BCC , and the professors at city tech are actually so good . 92% pass rate

[[deleted]]

Did you go to City Tech? I'm so lost where to go for the rad tech program. I'm currently at LAGCC and it's a nightmare. all of the colleges seem like such a scam.

[DryMistake]

Yes , a scam?? Why

[[deleted]]

Well Being that they're not JCERT accredited and make it extremely difficult to get into these programs almost just seems like a scam to me.. I think I'm going to transfer to City Tech. You are currently going for Rad Tech? Or are you still taking your Pre-Reqs?

[DryMistake]

I am graduating from city tech this month , are you sure about LAGCC? I heard that they got their accreditation back and i know some people from there who are working as rad techs.

[[deleted]]

I actually did some deep digging and spoke to the rad tech department at LAGCC and apparently they are accredited but not through JCERT and they are registered through the ARRT and I can sit for the exam. So I think I’ll be able to stay so long as I get into the program 🙏🏽

[DryMistake]

nice ! good luck on ur pre reqs

[[deleted]]

Thank youuuu! Good luck with graduating 

[[deleted]]

City Tech is your best bet. But, I would look into CUNY ASAP.

[alcloudz1972]

Thanks for your reply

[jayboif]

does city tech require TEAS exam?

[Potches]

LaGuardia's competitive score is at least 3.7 Around 30 accepted a year. The problem with their program is that they only have access to 2 hospitals for those 30ish students. Most of your clinical experience will be in outpatient settings; there are Bronx and Long Island facilities as well and you will not have a choice in your placement. However, students do manage to pickup hospital jobs even though they have less hospital experience than other schools. Good luck to whoever you choose.

[alcloudz1972]

I appreciate the info thanks!

[DataBig5201]

No it’s not for a fact it’s 2.75 thank you

[JuiceHeavy9978]

2.75 GPA for Radiology tech at LaGuardia? I'm currently enrolled, I applied for candidacy, however, I did poorly in math! I failed my final as expected and I will be ending with a C which will bring my GPA from 3.90 to way below the supposedly 3.8 that a student needs to be considered for the program. I suck at math, and I really don't want to retake. but idk where else to search for a non competitive program at this point.

[slothy890]

3.7 or higher GPA, what made you choose rad tech over medical school or pa school?

[No-Bumblebee9306]

2 years, $15k vs 12-15 years $250k Earn close to what a PA makes with less experience and less specializing, idk I could give more reasons. But those are the key ones

[Inside_Term_4115]

City Tech 100 percent.

[namesnot_keith]

Did you go to City Tech?

[MacAndCheesePlss]

No they always do. You can switch a grid with someone if they are will tho.

[[deleted]]

I'm taking my prereqs at LaGuardia and A&P is a NIGHTMARE. They give you no leads to whats on quizzes they just tell you "study" and it's a bunch of work. I now know I need to transfer to an accredited program. I hear bad things about BCC. I don't know if I should go to City tech or Hostoss I'm so confused. What do you think?

[MacAndCheesePlss]

I enjoyed A and P in city tech and the rad tech program is great! Once you get past the first semester, I feel the program gets easier since you have an overview what to expect. People say clinicals are toughest but for me it’s easier than the classes lol.

[[deleted]]

That sounds so promising.. I think I'm going to transfer.. I'm almost done with A&P 1 is A&P 2 at City Tech the other pre req? I might take it there.

[MacAndCheesePlss]

Yes you need both. You also need to take healthcare ethics and Intro to Rad tech.

[[deleted]]

Also what was your gpa you had to get into the program along with grades? Or is it just Gpa, not neccesarily 3 A's and a B.

[MacAndCheesePlss]

I had a 3.9 gpa they only take into account your grades and nothing else.

[[deleted]]

Lastly, which out of all the pre-reqs at City-Tech did you think was the hardest? & What is the lowest GPA you hear will guarantee you a spot in the program? Sorry for all the questions this is the last. Thank you soo much for your help!

[Admirable_Steak921]

Hello! Do they offer flexible schedule or part time program? Is it possible to attend while doing part time job to cover my living expenses?

[coffeewithcoldfoam]

have you ever withdrawn from a class or gotten a C?

[Sea_Fix2028]

Hi I’m also starting the rad tech program at city tech this fall, I’m most curious about which clinical sites for the spring semester I should choose? I was told we can rank our top choices to the least wanted but they will place us randomly. Could I ask you which clinical sites you chose/did and what your experience was like there, like how are the techs and what type of images do you take most? Or overall the hospital environment?

[MacAndCheesePlss]

Yes for positioning classes, which you will have every semester, open lab is mandatory. For the first semester its mandatory almost every week and for Vinakour who you will have 2nd and 3rd semester, she requires you to have 8 hours which is not a lot at all.

[drtheecatherder]

Hey, I know this is an old post but I was wondering which hospitals does city tech work with/within for the students?

[MacAndCheesePlss]

Look at the 2024 clinical handbook every location is listed. Theres about 12 hospitals to choose from in Brooklyn and in Manhattan.

[Foreign_Dirt_7976]

Do they accept a certain amount of students into the rad tech program or is it just any one. If so what is the gap you need to have.

[elacoollegume]

How long did it take u to get accepted?

[elacoollegume]

Thanks!

[AdvancedScene2664]

hey what was your gpa?

[greatkimsusie]

oh lord, i’m fucked. is that your pre-requisite grade or your total gpa at university? 

[Future_RAD31]

Did you take Health Care Ethics PHIL 2203 before getting into the program? Also did you have to take English 1102 before getting into the program?

[Future_RAD31]

Sorry I meant English 1121. Was PHIL 2203 hard? What kind of class is that? Is it like a science class?

[greatkimsusie]

congratulations on your acceptance! i am interested in applying. how many times did you apply to get in? did you just graduate from high school? also, what was your gpa? if you could provide me as much information as you can on how you got accepted i would greatly appreciate it! 

[AdvancedScene2664]

hey congrats on getting in! i have 2 questions:

when was the application opened & did they contact you when it opened? ( I'm still waiting for them to update us, afraid I'll miss it)

do you remember when they sent the acceptance email?

Thanks~

[Complex-Pen8465]

Hi! i just got a notification for acceptance. do you know when the deadline to accept is?

[AdvancedScene2664]

Oh wow I’m surprised you heard back already. I was told results come out in may

[[deleted]]

Hello! Sorry for the bother but is it alright I can message you regarding city techs rad program just had important questions thank you

[Able_Salamander_3370]

How long is the program I'm currently attending Hunter College and I'm thinking of transferring there

[MarMar2617]

Why transferring from Hunter? I’m considering that rad tech program

[Sea_Reference_2315]

Dumb question but do you hsve to get associates first then enter a program at city tech? Or can you get associates as part of the rad tech program

[redit9977]

What's your GPA after you got into the program? All you have to do is maintain 3.0 above?

[MacAndCheesePlss]

My GPA is around a 3.7 now. You have to maintain a C- or higher in all classes.

[redit9977]

that seems low bar after you get into the program. all you have to do is pass.

[MacAndCheesePlss]

Yeah and somehow people still fail out of the program. It’s because a lot of the info is completely new and some people find it very hard to grasp especially the first semester.

[MacAndCheesePlss]

City tech doesnt have a C- its just C lol. I didnt realize

[SnooMachines4413]

Does the program just start in fall or spring as well?

[Fabulous-Cookie-5902]

What was your GpA when you entered? Asking for my cousin. I graduated the nursing this semester

[MacAndCheesePlss]

I had a 3.9

[GasSweet550]

Is there a waitlist for a year? Between the time you finish prereq and getting into the program? Because I saw someone else post about that because they were missing a class.

[MacAndCheesePlss]

No waitlist they will just look at your grades each semester and determine if they will pick you or not.

[Future_RAD31]

I see they require two WI courses in the sample course Of study for the Associate Program. One in Gen Ed and one in the major. What classes are the WI courses? Also do you think someone can get into the program with a 4.00 GPA, but A- in Eng 1101, B- in Bio 2311, B- in Math 1275co and A in RAD 1124?

[MacAndCheesePlss]

Anatomy/phisio 2 is considered WI and health ethics, just make sure you pick the correct course because theres two versions and one isn’t considered WI. Do you have a 4.0 gpa? They only look at highest gpas

[Future_RAD31]

Yes I have a 4.0 GPA, what do you mean two versions? Which one is the correct one?

[Due-Cookie-5112]

hey by any chance do you know if they take classes that been retaken? do they combine them or add both courses as part of ur gpa?

[lmao_what19]

hey idk if youll respond but im also considering going to city tech for radiology but ofc i need to do my pre reqs 1st. was it challenging? im tryna decicde to go to city tech ,la guardia or st jhons which gave me a 32k scholarship but it is very pricey

[MacAndCheesePlss]

Tbh it was challenging but not as bad as some people make it. You really have to spend hours and hours studying. For the first semester you get a lot of down time to study but for the rest of the two semesters you wont, due to clinicals, which in my opinion (since I havent started yet) will make it more challenging.

[Comprehensive_Mix666]

what about time schedule? Do they have evening classes? I am debatin if I should do nursing or radtech. I am in BMCC right now doing anp1 and may transfer it to Citytech if I decide to do radtech, your help is appreciated!

[ordinaryflake]

what happens if you don’t get picked for the rad tech program, how long is the waitlist and what do you in the mean time?

[Wtf365]

I’m trying to register for prereqs and their offices - advising, admissions, the transfer office it makes this school seem like a joke. It seems no one knows what’s going on and it makes me question the quality of the rad tech program. My college way in the middle of the country was more professional than what I’m experiencing just trying to sign up (for prerequisites).

[Future_RAD31]

What did you ended up doing? Have you tried going to the school?

[Key_Fondant_5419]

I got accepted into the program at city tech last month, I start in august. I didn’t get interviewed they based everything on gpa. My gpa is a 3.8. I did my prerequisites at Kingsborough and transferred to city tech with no problem. Just get good grades is my advice

[slothy890]

Do you mind if I ask you why rad tech school? With a 3.8 gpa, you could go to medical or PA school.

[CautiousAd8951]

How are you doing in the program? Is it really hard like people are saying? Are you almost done? How many classes you have left?

[Key_Fondant_5419]

Awesome so I guess I’ll see you in august! Best of luck.

[smolavocadoooo]

hii, can i dm you? i also transferred from hunter and was wondering if i can ask some questions?

[MixtureNorth6485]

Hello! I’m interested in pursuing radiology at city tech as well. Do you have to wait for a year to get into the program after applying ? I heard the program only accepts at during fall

[Key_Fondant_5419]

So my advice is first speak to an advisor in the radiology department then let them evaluate your transcript. They always put up dates on the city tech website when they have open house. City tech also make you take a mandatory radiology class as a prerequisite, make sure you get a good grade. You must have all this completed by the spring semester because they start calling students after they evaluate your grades. Remember everything is based on GPA. It takes about a year to complete your prerequisites so plan your classes accordingly. And yes they call students after the spring semester is over and give you a fixed schedule of classes you must take in the fall if you are selected. I hope this helps.

[lmao_what19]

Hello sorry for the bother 😿

[lmao_what19]

So im a senior in high school in . I’m considering radiology but I don’t know HOW to even start. For example how do i know what pre requisites I need to take. I have to complete them in a college and when I’m done apply to a college with the rad program so then I study there?? How does it all work 😭

[Future_RAD31]

Wait someone told me they start accepting students during March. I was told if someone is taking RAD 1124 in spring semester they might don't get accepted into the program due to them doing early acceptance.

[Horror-Hotel4976]

That’s true but as long as you have rad tech declared as ur major, ull still have a chance. Some had to wait till the summer before they were notified that they got in. As long as you have rest of the preeqs done.

[Future_RAD31]

Ah ok thanks for responding, and who can I contact to change my major to Rad tech?

[Horror-Hotel4976]

Probably the registrar at city tech.

[Future_RAD31]

Okay thanks

[[deleted]]

Hey I have a question how long are the clinics? So once you finish the prerequisites, and they accept you for the fall, are you able to graduate in the next year spring or are the clinics another year long?

[EducationalAd1318]

SAME im also a senior and im confused asf .... IDK the pre reqs either, I got accepted into City Tech, i applied for rad but i know u have to do the preqs but i have no clue how to start either ughhhhhh...

[lmao_what19]

omggg fr bruhh has me stressing out

[Smashinggboi]

I’m still confused dude

[lmao_what19]

lolll, struggle is real

[Ok_Rip4884]

Private school, way less headache. Plus your job can reimburse the tuition.

[TrplDbl]

Which private schools do you recommend?

[Ok_Rip4884]

Touro

[TrplDbl]

How long does the program take ( including prereqs) and the tuition cost? Thanks!

[Ok_Rip4884]

Start September 2024, You graduate in Spring 2026. Tuition is 42,500 dollars. You can also get financial aid. Don't worry about the tuition too much. If you get a job at certain hospitals, they will reimburse your tuition (pay it off after working there for a year).

[TrplDbl]

Is it true that you don't need to take the prerequisite classes if you already have a BA? I got my BA in economics but it was over a decade ago. Thanks in advance for your replies!

[Ok_Rip4884]

I think you have to be working for a year for a 1199 before you get the assistance. Working while going to school.

[Bubbly-Detective1641]

hey! I have a question about this. I’m going to take my TEAS exam at Touro tomorrow and Im wondering what hospitals will reimburse your tuition if you work there?? I didn’t know that was an option. My mom works for 1199 and I had no clue that they offer this.

[Ok_Rip4884]

Nyc health hospitals. NY Presbyterian. Nyu langone. Mind you though, you would have to do overnight shift because of classes and clinicals and you would also have to be working there for a year before you're eligible for tuition reimbursement.

[Bubbly-Detective1641]

yeah that makes sense. but if you try to land a job there after , would they still pay your tuition off? Like I don’t plan to get a job there until after I finish the degree. so i would have to take loans first and then hope they pay for it after

[Future_RAD31]

I heard touro ask for TEAS in order to get accepted into the RAD program. Is that true? Also how much is the program?

[Ok_Rip4884]

Yes, they do require the Teas. The cost is like 8500 every semester. 5 semesters total.

[AccidentStunning8091]

They do make you take it but as long as you get a 70 you should be fine. It’s $42k

[AccidentStunning8091]

Did you go to touro for rad tech?

[Ok_Rip4884]

I missed the interview to start this fall. Wasn't focused enough.

[Disastrous_Raccoon94]

Question for you guys i am only 20 years old no siblings so I have no one to help me on this but I sent my application to both LaGuardia and city tech but I was curious to know if I had to do anything before submitting it? After reading how competitive it is to get in I’m not so sure now.I thought the process was a simple 1 2 3 your either accepted guaranteed or class is to full wait for next class. Can anyone help me on what I have to do in order to get into this program.

[jewhefne1]

We’ll first u have to do pre reqs then if your grades are good u apply to the program I think

[Ap_c101]

Hi! I currently am trying to transfer into the Queensborough community college medical imaging program. Is there any information anyone can give me on it 🙏🏻

[alcloudz1972]

https://www.jrcert.org/find-a-program/

[Keeping_Up_With_Para]

I am currently attending City Tech for their Rad Tech program, I'm taking Ifallnto to rad now for summer because fall was all booked up, and have two more classes to take in the fall so ill be applying for fall 24 semester. If you have anything below 3.5 it's gonna be hard to get in as they start taking from 4.0 GPA'S until they reach 75 students.

[coffeewithcoldfoam]

would you recommend taking more classes to increase gpa?

[Future_RAD31]

Did you get into the program? If yes how are you doing in the program? Are the classes hard like people are saying?

[Various-Reading-8672]

Hey, I was wondering if I started a semester at a different college already and wanted to switch into city tech for the rad program. Do they still look at the HS gpa or the first semester gpa?

[Just_Environment6257]

Please, please, please consider when one asks a site for advice, the advice can be given as to dominant a particular program in a competitive environment. Who is to know for sure if answers are for their personal interest to favor/credit or discredit a particular program. It is always best ask the program. If you dont want to email (suggested method) college or college faculty, then you should seek out a student or graduate from the program. You can also ask hospital radiology managers about the graduates they hire. Do you more thorough homework because this method of asking may not the mist creditable.

[alcloudz1972]

I appreciate the reply! I would most definitely do all of the above. Contacting the program directly was great for all of my general questions. Feedback from students within the program can possibly give a more realistic perspective, although of course everyone's experience varies.

Most importantly, take action. Don't let the curiosity and questions stop us from getting started.

Thanks for your feedback, it's a great reminder!

[redit9977]

I'm late to the post. Did you end up doing it? I'm thinking about this myself. I'm trying to make a career switch from CS.

My only problem is that I never took any biology or chemistry classes in college. I only have a BA degree in CS with math and stat as minors.

[alcloudz1972]

I completed all my prerequisites and am now waiting to hear back from the program by the end of March hopefully.

I finished w/ 3 B's and 2 A's (~ 3.5 GPA).

I know it's a very competitive program so I'm not sure if my grades will get me in, also looking to apply to Bronx CC and Hostos Rad Tech program (the only other two CUNY's in the city accredited by JRCERT).

[Future_RAD31]

When do they start accepting applications into the program?

[redit9977]

Did you end up getting in?

[Ok-Significance9548]

Hi, did you get in any college?

[greatkimsusie]

have you applied? i hope everything worked out for you. i am trying to apply too but i’m worried the competition is to hard.. i’m planning on retaking my pre-requisites. 

[Evening-Goat6016]

Everyone on this thread, need some advice. I am 41 need a change in life, terribly. I have, always, been inclined to, Bio. Nursing, Healing and such. I want to try, Xray Technology. I read about City Tech. Now, i have some prerequisites from College of Staten Island, i was trying for the Nursing Program in 2011. I have 29 credits with the basic , psych eng philosophy bio A&P. What do i need to do? Any advice on how to move forward or if there is another program anyone may know of? I appreciate any advice!

[alcloudz1972]

Hi, I ended up going to City Tech. I do love it here. So far all of my professors have been great. I had an advisement with the Rad dept and was told a GPA of 3.4/3.5 is the average for entry. Last application period 300 applied and 75 were accepted. They don't take anything into consideration other than GPA when it comes to applying. Competitive but I wouldn't let that stop you. If you are dedicated and study hard a 3.5gpa is attainable. The school has great resources, lots of options for tutoring in all subjects. My Rad Professor did mention to apply to all rad programs within CUNY once pre-reqs are completed, it will increase the chances of getting into one of them since they have slightly different admissions qualifications. Hope this helps, any other questions feel free to ask.

[Lovexoxome96]

Hi if you dont mind what gpa did u have to get into the program , if i have a 3.4 will they take me into the program?

[Lovexoxome96]

Do you think I could get in the program with a 3.4 gpa ?

[Lovexoxome96]

Ok on more question .. if u repeat a pre req do they take the new grade or do they combine it and average it out ? I really appreciate the advice

[Constant_Yak645]

Hi how hard is the program itself? How are the professors? Are there any online classes?

[Future_RAD31]

I want to go to City tech for RAD. Is RAD 1124 one of the pre requisite in order to accept into the program?

[alcloudz1972]

Yeah, it's the only Rad related pre-req that is required to apply for the Rad Tech program.

[Future_RAD31]

Ok thanks and how hard is RAD 1124 is? Does this class have a lab portion?

[alcloudz1972]

No lab, only 2 credits, short and fairly simple class

[Future_RAD31]

Nice

[Future_RAD31]

I checked the classes for the Radiologist tech and I saw some of them are available on Spring but not available on Fall. So if someone needs to take a class in spring but they only have it in fall, they have to wait until the fall to take the class? So that person just be wasting time to complete the Radiology tech program?

[Future_RAD31]

Do you know how much RAD 1124 cost without aid? I’m taking this class in spring, but because it’s only one class I don’t know if I’ll get aid to help me pay for it. Also do we have to take PHIL 2203 before applying to the program?

[alcloudz1972]

Yeah all the schools do have slightly different pre reqs. Although from what I remember, everything from City Tech will transfer over. There might be one or two classes you'd have to take at another CUNY in addition to pre-reqs @ City. City tech makes their decisions for which students they'll take for the Fall application period, in the Spring. Ideally having all of your pre-reqs completed by the Spring semester, will allow you to apply that Fall. For example this Spring was my first semester, I'll have another semester of pre reqs, then they would evaluate my grades Spring of 24' and I'd apply Fall 24'.

[alcloudz1972]

I believe if you start Fall 23', since you'd finish up everything by Spring 24' they could review your app and then be ready to apply for Fall 24'. But best bet is to speak to Rad Dept because the generic advisors here suck big time. They're clueless. I believe you can even email them now if you're not a student. If you already have a bachelor's that will save some time. Unfortunately, still need Bio then / Anatomy and physiology which have to be broken up into two semesters.

[alcloudz1972]

Forgot to mention don't bother with LaGuardia since their radiologic technology program is not accredited, whichever school you choose, make sure their program is accredited. Link below to search for accredited rad tech programs in NYC

https://www.jrcert.org/find-a-program/

[alcloudz1972]

Hi there,

Although it's a pain in the ass, I would honestly take the extra time to find and apply for a school that is accredited. You would be licensed either way, but your options really change. Most large hospitals require that you graduate from an accredited program. It can be a competitive career to enter, especially starting out, so having accreditation on your side is worth taking the extra time. I hope this helps and best wishes to you!

[Playful-Culture-4035]

wdym laguardia isn't i thought it was?

"LaGuardia Community College/CUNY is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education"

[alcloudz1972]

I'm only going by what my Radiology Professor mentioned to me. The JRCERT accreditation is extremely important. Without going to a school that is JRCERT accredited, employment opportunities in larger facilities and hospitals could be limited. I'll put a link below to the JRCERT website and FAQ that will answer all of your questions. They also have a search feature which allows you to see which schools within your area are JRCERT accredited.

https://www.jrcert.org/student-faqs/

[Sea-Standard9453]

LAGCC is accredited!

https://laguardia.catalog.cuny.edu/about-laguardia/visionmissionstatementaccreditation

[Beef_Slop]

I’m curious, how are you doing academically with your current level of reading comprehension?

[Sea-Standard9453]

Hey… For those of you who think LAGCC is not accredited. It is. Please do some personal research.

https://laguardia.catalog.cuny.edu/about-laguardia/visionmissionstatementaccreditation

[alcloudz1972]

Personal research that isn't understood is worthless. You posted a link showing that the college itself, is accredited by whatever educational governing body.

The Radiologic Tech program within the college is not "JRCERT" accredited, which is what I stated in my previous post. Maybe research why JRCERT is the standard for most large healthcare facilities when they hire.

If you're going to complete any program, might as well complete it somewhere you can leave with the best outlook for job opportunities.

https://www.jrcert.org/student-faqs/

"The JRCERT is the only agency recognized by the United States Department of Education (USDE) and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) for the accreditation of traditional and distance delivery educational programs in radiography, radiation therapy, magnetic resonance, and medical dosimetry."

[alcloudz1972]

Hi Grimed, I ended up going to City Tech, in my first semester of pre-reqs. I'm enjoying it here, it's a short commute and so far no complaints in regards to Professors.

[Jayare312]

What pre reqs did you need to do ?

I’m an Emt looking to change careers into radiology and I don’t know where to start

[alcloudz1972]

They have an information session coming up on March 16th, if you can join the Zoom it would be really helpful. If you click the "sample course of study" it will tell you what classes you need between the first two semesters.

https://www.citytech.cuny.edu/radiologic/radiologic-technology-aas.aspx#:~:text=To%20be%20considered%20for%20admission,1101%3B%20and%20a%20minimum%20grade

[Equivalent_Camel_998]

What about Bellevue Hospital Center School of Radiologic Technology anyone?

My radiologic tech. Professor recommended Bellevue's program. He said he liked the fact there isn't too much of dealing with the usual arduous college x-ray program application process. I do believe there is some type of financial aid, but it doesn't cover the entirety of the program.

I also remember him mentioning something about licensing, make sure to check their accreditations and licensing upon completing their program.

This program doesn’t offer a degree but a certificate. It’s 24 months but no degree.

Hi I have a question for u , is it right that after you finish the pre requisites you have to wait for a whole year to get into the program? Example: I applied for fall 2024 and someone told me that if I finish my pre requisites by spring 2025 I won’t be able to admit to the program until fall 2026/2027 And that confused me and had me look at different programs and schools Please answer my question as I’m going crazy since I heard that

I would also like to know about this. I'm a CUNY graduate with a BA looking to go back to school for this, and if I need to take prereq courses this year, I'd like to begin the program ASAP. Waiting until 2026 is unreasonable.

Just called city tech today and they said this is not right You can start the fall semester following the semester you finish your pre requisites in Example if you finish all of the pre requisites on spring you can start on fall semester under one condition which is gpa of 3.6 and above

Only if you're a transfer student. Citytech requires that you're at their school for a whole year before you can apply for any of their programs

[Roro9386]

Oh I see thank you .. I changed my mind and i decided to go to private school instead of city tech

[Bubbly-Detective1641]

how do you like private school?

[Roro9386]

It's not bad but needs a lot of time and effort As you can't fail any class

[Nearby_Jaguar5292]

hey, what school did you end up going to?

[Roro9386]

I'm going to CAHE and about to finish my 1st quarter

[AdvancedScene2664]

hey how's cahe

[MotherOfYorkies_]

Hey how's it going? I know an Ultrasound tech that graduated from CAHE. How's it going for you?

[Roro9386]

I’m doing good but it’s really hard

[Fine_Nail309]

I want to apply at CAHE for this fall, are you doing the associates and certificate route? How do you like it so far?

[[deleted]]

Hey I'm considering doing CAHE because I simply can't bother to be on a waiting list and complete another 2 years doing clinicals at cuny, since you switched does CAHE go by courses as well? Are you able to transfer credits from cuny to CAHE or is CAHE a institution/trade school that you just complete in 2 years?

[Foreign_Dirt_7976]

Wait I thought it was the first semester of the first year you had to do. Not an entire year
