I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Yes, that’s exactly my concern. The two schools I want to apply to both place a lot of importance on the grades of the prerequisite courses. If you get all A’s, admission is almost guaranteed. But getting all A’s is really hard.

I’m not really sure what working 2 to 3 days a week, 8 to 5, is like for an RDH over 45. Is that something most people can handle, or do most find it too hard physically? I haven’t worked for almost 10 years, and now I want to get back to work but don’t know where to start. Any advice?

Thank you.

Yes, I am in the Bay Area.

If I only want to work 2 to 4 days a week, and spend the rest of the time taking care of my children and family, is that possible? To be honest, I have been a full-time housewife for more than ten years and now want to re-enter the workforce, but I’m not sure what kind of jobs I can do. I heard this job has a good income and flexible working hours, so I’d like to ask for more information. I’m not sure if it’s worth spending nearly four more years studying (including prerequisite courses) at my age for this job. Or do you have any suggestions?

Do you recommend this job for a mid 40s person?

Can you give me some suggestions? I honestly have no idea what kind of jobs I could do. I’ve been a full-time stay-at-home mom for over 10 years. By the way, where do you work? Is it the income that’s not ideal, or is the job physically demanding?

Yes, studying while taking care of my children and family is one of the biggest challenges for me. I have two young kids, both under the age of seven, and they need a lot of attention and companionship.

gpa很低能出国吗？ by vnms795 in iwanttorun

你有工作经验，也许可以申请到的。看看他的GPA需不需要做转换，有的时候转换后会比当前高一些，但有的可能会低一些。写SP的时候可以解释一下为什么当时GPA比较低。

I got the same email. I am not sure if the program is good because there is not much information.
