Hello all,
I have read numerous threads in the Nontraditional Students Forum as well as the Post Bac Forum, and have decided to take the plunge and become a member in order to post my own question.
About myself:
My current plan is to start work full time in January, and start volunteering as an EMT on the weekends. After a few months either start SIE at the University of Maryland for an informal Do-It Yourself or apply to a formal program with a linkage, quit work and once again be a full-time student.
I'm posting this looking for advice on what SDN thinks is the best route for me to take. Also if the consensus is a formal program, what the odds are that I would be able to get into a top program with great linkages.
