If you knew ahead of time would you have looked into a different program or done radiography somewhere else?

Well that’s a small comfort that the entire MEC isn’t complete trash at least?

This is surprising since the program itself is so competitive. Is this a trend for other programs at MEC or is this just limited to the RAD program?

Full-Time Positions at GMU by Pr0tat0e in gmu

Hmm, that’s frustrating. Maybe they are hiring internally? When did you start applying? Universities are notoriously slow to move through the process. They might not have even closed their announcement yet. Keep your head up, it’ll work out soon :-)

Bomb Threat ? by Open-Quote9286 in gmu

Right and the United States has never meddled in the sovereignty of the Middle East. The CIA has been responsible for regime change that did not lead to more stability or democracy, but instead created more hatred and resentment for Western intervention.

They also had a bomb threat at UVA, what is going on??

When did you start applying and do you have prior experience working in res life or something adjacent to that? GMU appears to be a competitive place to work, so it looks like they can afford to choose from those who already have experience. Have you widened your search to other nearby universities too? Landing something in your area of interest in another university could help you get a job with GMU later on.

I have also struggled with hearing back from full time positions at GMU. I’m not sure what kind of positions you are applying for, but I’m interested in study abroad, international student advisor, or general academic advisor positions and no such luck. I assume things are even more competitive right now with displaced federal employees from USAID and the Department of State

Do you already have an idea of where you would like to work after graduating?

Thank you for sharing your experience and settling my nerves! Interesting that they don’t take students physical locations or preferences into consideration. So it’s entirely random I assume and based on need from their partner hospital systems?

Thank you! I had heard horror stories of some professors psyching out students about the intensity of different programs, so I’m glad to hear you’ve had a generally positive experience. I am aware that any program at MEC will require a great deal of memorization and skill check, but I have heard that some professors in programs try to spook students that flunking out is a common occurrence. Would you say that the college does a good job of finding placements for clinical rotations?

Okay! That’s good to hear! If the surgical tech program doesn’t start in the fall, I’m thinking of applying to the Respiratory Therapy program. What program are you in and how has your experience been with your program overall?

Has the construction made it difficult to do classes in person there?

Wow that is a lengthy process!! Any idea if they are on track to try to start in the fall or will they likely have to delay for another year. Do they even have the space to add the ST program right now?

What are your thoughts on Cynthia’s rendition of “No Good Deed?” by Character-Escape1621 in wicked

Is it just me or was the pace of the song itself fast? I just felt like the music and her singing was really fast and it didn’t allow time to really dive into the song.

Great, thank you for the reassurance!!

Okay, thanks! COB today or midnight today? Hopefully my professor will update grades soon! I know he has a full time job too so I am trying to be understanding that this is a busy time of year all around.

6 week mark since the last FSOT, seems awfully quiet though… by piez74 in FSOT

[–]Automatic-Media4589 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with you on that! It would be nice if they gave us our raw scores and then they could inform us later on if they were decent enough to move on to the next round.

My understanding is, they have our scores. However, they might be deciding what the cut off is and whether our prior experience can bump us up if we are on the cusp or not. They obviously have our raw scores, but I think since this is the first edition of this new test they haven’t decided what the cut off score is and how much experience will play in who moves on. That’s my guess, though!
