Looking forward

[moondancerdrake]

I applied at a local university yesterday, at least did the online application part. I have to wait to come up with the $44 fee to send it in. I’m still looking over my course/degree options, not sure what will fit what I want to do best. I know I want to do youth counseling of some kind, though I realize more of those require a master’s degree. My hope is to find some way for my bachelors to get me working while I complete the master’s education. I can’t get in with a career councilor until I’ve applied, nor can I sign up for financial aid until I apply, so…I applied. I’ve taken the first step. We’ll see what happens after that.

If there's any way they can waive the application fee for you, you'd think they'd put that in a really obvious place on the website--but sadly I would not be surprised if they didn't!!!

Maybe they have open house days for the program you want to attend? Or maybe there's someone who'd be willing to speak to you beforehand? I dunno, like maybe if you check out the school's webpage & look at the professors in the department whose program you're interested in... & if there's one or two people whose bio sounds like their interests are what you want to do, you might try e-mailing them to request an informal informational chat. I dunno, I've done that w/jobs, maybe it will work!

That's really great that they have a good AASS for you--definitely sounds like a good reason for you to go to that school!! I hope they are helpful.

& *hugs* you can do this! Even though it seems overwhelming... one step at a time & all that stuff.
