Continued updates of college decisions!

I also wanted to share my top 2 choices for the colleges that have accepted me so far and the reasons for why they are in the spot they are in (:

1. SJSU: I live approximately 30 minutes away from SJSU, so the location is a great pro because my family is looking to save $$ to support me if and when I pursue a Master’s degree. In addition, I am very interested in its Nursing Program as well as its Clinical Laboratory Scientist Program. My ideal route would be to finish the prerequisite classes for Nursing in the first 1 and 1/2 years (taking summer classes as well), and then (hopefully) passing the TEAS test and ultimately be admitted into Nursing. (I know this is a long shot but as of now it is my dream!) Also, if the Nursing Program doesn’t accept me, I could use those prerequisite classes to fulfill GE requirements, and major in Microbiology to pursue the Clinical Lab Scientist Program. Lastly, SJSU is my top choice because it is located in Silicon Valley and has awesome resources and companies where I can expand my connections and have many intern/work opportunities.

2. SFSU: Mostly, SFSU is my second choice because it has both the Nursing Program and the CLS program as does SJSU, but it is just a tad bit farther away from my home. I would maybe even say that SJSU and SFSU are tied for me right now!
