I'm going to take some online courses for free in the area I'm interested in, and hopefully apply this year for next year's entering class. I will see if I can gather all the necessary prerequisites until then. I have until this December to apply so I have some time. I am so excited!! I have so much to do but will be happy doing it. I will volunteer still even if it does not make this year's cut off and see if I can finagle it and say something about it in my interviews if I get any. I'm crossing my fingers!!
