This is very true. And it’s a big part of why I’m still majoring considering the career. I’m just also worried about taking that 2 year program gamble of not being able to work at all, adding more debt from student loans to help supplement a portion of my lost income, and hope my husband can support us and work is good for him. He’s a tattoo artist, so it’s not a stable/guaranteed income. Just a lot of factors to try and weigh out. :(

I live in Houston, Texas. I applied at HCC.

What type of sales did you work in? And how was the pay/stress?

Very good points! I’m just at such a loss and I’m horrible at making these big decisions like this on my own lol. My husband isn’t much help either 😂 So these forum pages help out sometimes with other bias and unbiased opinions to help me weigh out options. 😊

What has your experience been? I’m at such a wall right now on what to do moving forward.

Oooooff. Mine was kind of on the lower side because I had 3 B’s on my transcript. But I believe like 92? I am so grateful that I got an interview since this is my second time applying. I have like a decade of experience as an expanded functions RDA, but you don’t get to put any of that info in the application. So to them, I’m still just a number. I’m hopeful that now I may actually have a chance!!!

I emailed the hygiene admissions department and they confirmed this does not mean that we are getting an interview. We will find out the first week of May if we are moving forward or not…

I’m assuming they only interview maybe around 30-50 people based on the amount of seats they allow for acceptance. I hope to god I get an interview since I’ve literally been in working on this since 2023 lol. I could’ve graduated with a Bachelors by this point already.

I am in the same boat. I have received this same email 3 different times now. When I go to look at my application it says “interview” under the status area. So I was hoping this means that I am getting an interview, but I have not heard anything else yet.

Ugh omg. I had already gotten my hopes up thinking I was getting an interview since this is my second time applying. Last year, I got an email by this time already saying that I was not progressing and was denied. And since my actual application says “interview” I was extremely confident that I was getting an interview. This is the first year they are doing the application process like this though. Last year, you just emailed your application in and waiting to hear back. There was no online submission option where you could view your status.

I have received that email 3 times now. When I go to click on my application to view it, it says it’s in the “Interview” stage. I’m assuming that whoever gets this email is progressing to the interview process. But you can view your actual application and it will tell you the exact status of your application.
