I just got accepted into a radiologic technology program that’s ABHES-accredited and allows me to sit for the ARRT exam, but not JRCERT-certified, and the total cost is about $80k; after financial aid covers $53k, I’d still need to pay around $27k out of pocket, including an $8,000 down payment right away plus $794 per month for 23 months, on top of the student loans I’ll have after graduating. At the same time, I’m on the waitlist for a cheaper program with no clear timeline for acceptance, which puts me in a tough spot, I don’t want to lose this opportunity, but I’m worried about committing to such a large financial burden and possibly not finishing the program. I’m tired of working minimum wage jobs and really want to become a rad tech, but I’m nervous about taking this risk without being fully certain I’ll make it through. what would you do?

AFTER A LONG PROCESS OF FINALIZING ALL THE DOCUMENTS I JUST GOT CALLED AND TOLD IM IN!

What do I do? what should i brush up on?? currently in a state of panic 😅
