Hi All,
I just found these forums and they are amazing! I'm a nontraditional student, applying for the first time, only to Oregon State, both because I love the school and it's my IS. I'm completely terrified, I left a great tech job to come back to school to finish my prereqs and get some research experience, but I'm also really excited. Is there anyone else who is coming back to school after a long break (I got my bachelors in 2002)?
Also, I've looked around and haven't seen anything about people working at the school they are applying to. I'm currently working as a temporary large animal tech at Oregon State and am wanting to double check that is a good thing to do. I thought it might help me meet people, but I work mostly at night, so I only know the residents really, but I'm hoping it won't hurt as long as I give a good job performance. Any thoughts?
