Hi,

I was wondering if there is anyone who commutes at least 45+ mins to Dupage? Solely for the reason because they are in a program? I am currently waiting on an acceptance decision at COD Respiratory Care’s program and I applied late to other closer colleges so I didn’t get in. However, COD is my second choice due to the high pass rates but the only reason it isn’t my #1 is because I live in the Skokie area so that’s about 30 miles. I am getting anxious about having to drive that distance back and forth for 2 years straight. Btw, I do have a car, but ehhh im just anxious. Is it worth the drive?

Title: Questions About Getting Into the COD Respiratory Care Program

Hey everyone,
I recently applied to the Respiratory Care program at College of DuPage with a point score of 11, and I’m trying to get a better idea of how competitive admissions have been over the years.

For anyone who has gotten accepted into the program:

What year did you apply/get accepted?
What point score did you have when you got in?
How competitive did the applicant pool seem that year?
How do you like the program overall?
Do you feel like the instructors and clinicals prepare you well?

Any advice for someone waiting to hear back?
I’m mostly trying to gauge how much scores and competitiveness may have changed from year to year. I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thanks!
