Decisions...
Well, I'm trying to decide how I want to go about applying to midwifery school. When I meet the pre-reqs, I'll apply to UBC and one of the Ontario schools. As much as I'd love to go to Seattle Midwifery School, I don't think I can really deal with living in south of the border (well, with my kids anyway). So, Canadian schools it is (or New Zealand - haven't ruled that out yet).
I need to do serious upgrading. The only decision is where, when and what to start with. I could start with upgrading high school courses (Biology 12, Chem 11 etc) or I could simply skip that and do uni transfer courses. UBC will allow you to transfer after 24 units - and the midwifery department uses those 24 to determine GPA (which would be a bonus for me). Even if I can get those 8 courses in by next April, I likely won't be accepted - but I'd like to try. I'm thinking of starting with a Child Development course and an introduction to Sociology - both of which I'm interested in. I'd also like to take some Women's Studies, English Composition, and possibly a Biology course or two to prove I could get through the A&P course.
I'd like to start through the OLA, but we'll see. I need to start soon, or there will be no hope of completing 8 courses by the deadline. I'm kind of scared, but excited as well!

We're not so bad south of the border. ;)
Would've been nice to have you in this neck of the woods at SMS!
I did childbirth educator and doula there through SMS.
Hh
I meant: I did training there for my doula and childbirth educator certifications.
Duh!
Actually, I haven't ruled out SMS yet. It would simply be somewhat easier and much, much cheaper to go to one of our publicly funded uni's. It's so expensive to go to SMS! But, I've heard lots of good stuff about it. I'll likely do the pre-req's and apply at the same time as I apply to UBC and McMaster - and see who'll take me first. Thanks for your comments!
