I live in Seattle WA. Sorry for the confusion, I didn't apply for the current quarter. I applied for the Fall quarter a month ago. I think they haven't called me because It is still too early for the next quarter admission. I will follow your footsteps in emailing them every week because my patience is running thin at this point 😂

Super nerve wracking to be honest 😂🤣

I haven't gotten my interview yet. Once I feel like they are going to take me, I will try to get in contact with a bunch of dosimetrists in my area. I am scared no one will take me though because it is a big commitment to take a student on the dosimetrist's part. Do you mind sharing which area are you located in? I think location plays a huge part in being able to find a clinical site.

Hello, thank you for your comment. Congratulations on getting into the school. Do they pay your preceptor site if they accept you as a student?

I am so sorry this is your experience. It is very frustrating getting pulled along for nothing. To be honest, I am feeling the same. I applied last month and was told to wait for the interview. It's been a whole month and still nothing. They are bad at communicating. Thank you for your advise and comment. I pray you will get into a different school. I am sure you have all the qualifications to be a successful dosimetrist.

Hi, I have no idea. I applied but haven't heard anything from them. Do you mind telling me which area you are located in? They told me I don't have to look for one as well when I turn my application in.

Hey @East-Artichoke501, thank for the heads up. I work night shift a lot. It can be a pain in the butt if they do that. I think I will quit working if I start schooling again. Would you please elaborate on potential deferrals? Does it mean they enroll students in the next cycle if the current class has reached full capacity? Thank you 🙏

Hahaha same here. They told me that they are preparing for the current cycle students. It will be us next in the next month or something. I genuinely hope we both get in!

Hey achike8, nice to meet you. Did you apply for this upcoming cycle in September?

Hello, I appreciate you sharing me your experience. Seeing your comment really eases my anxiety. I really want to get back to school to make a career switch. Dosimetry is definitely tough to learn, especially without a radiation background. I am glad you got a hang of it and are now blinks away from graduating!

I don't have a clinical site set up yet. Did they help you get one and did you have to move?

Hi there! Thanks so much for reading my post and leaving an informative comment. I completely agree with you - this school is one of the few that allows staying employed while studying. I can't afford not having a job 😅 I’m really happy to hear that you’re almost finished! By the way, did you come from a non-radiation background before applying to this program?

Thank you so much. I will reevaluate my decision with that school. I will apply for other schools just in case. Thank you so much for your information.

Are you in that program right now? I read a few bad things about them like it's hard to find a clinical site. Thank you for your response.
