I Didn't Get into Rad Tech School | Whats Next in My Life 

Maddy, it took me 3 tries to get in and now I'm a senior in the program. please don't give up on your dreams.

I honestly needed this cuz I didn’t get in the rad tech program this year either 🥺 the feeling really sucks

God's timing is best, even if we don't understand it right now. You got this!

Hey, I was in the same situation as you were. I didn’t get in the 1st time, I was on the waitlist and we had a competitive program with so many applicants. Something I’ve learned was there’s a time for everything. During that waiting period, I trusted in God. Learned so much during the waiting period. It really shaped me for the next year. I was done with the pre reqs. And waited a year and got in the following year. Prayer really works. Learn to be patient and I promise , if this is where God wants you to be, he will make a way in his timing. Don’t feel discouraged, instead take this time to really dig in deep and enjoy your life before the program starts. I can tell you, I’m a rad tech now, I just graduated this summer. Take this year to really be happy and enjoy your time with friends and loved ones. Don’t give up! Most of these programs are extremely competitive. Doesn’t matter how high grades you have and how well you do in the interview! They’ll remember you from the last time, they always do. Do something to keep yourself standing out. Always check in when you can and reapply! I hope this helps! God will make a way in his timing!

You sound so determined and prepared! I feel like the experience you'll get from your job will help you tremendously in the next application process, good luck :)

Hi, I just want to send some positive vibes your way. Don’t give up. I went to a 4 year university and dropped out because I realized it wasn’t for me. I’ve been trying to get into a local Radiography program for awhile. I was an alternate candidate twice. I finally tried applying at a different school and I just got word that I got accepted. I am 27 yrs old, so you have time. You can do it!

I know this is old, but this helps so much. I ended up finding out I didn't get in yesterday and it's definitely tough. Still sinking in but definitely help. Love to hear where you stand today if your not too busy.

Literally going through this exact situation right now! It’s so hard but i know God’s timing is perfect and I just have to wait and see what he has in store.

Maddy this is really heartfelt, thanks for sharing as there are others in your same shoes. As you mentioned you don’t have a lot of pre-recs left. One thing you could do is start studying radiologic physics ahead as this is an area where a lot of techs have trouble. Also if you can drop some knowledge bombs on this during the interview it couldn’t hurt. As you mentioned you are working at a clinic so get advice from the technologists there on what was the hardest part and put in some time upfront. Thanks again for sharing this.

Also if anyone else here is struggling thinking they won’t get in, please know you can if you work for it. I didn’t even try out of high-school, I ended with an embarrassing gpa in high school, not much below, but below a 3.0 (a series of major loss in my family sent me into a spiral unfortunately) and knew I wouldn’t get in. So I went to business school. Hated it. Applied to a program to get my name in there, Transferred to a cc and got my pre reqs in psychology med term and anatomy, applied while taking those classes (again knowing I would likely not be accepted) and finally, applied this February and was accepted and started two weeks ago! It’s so so heart breaking to know you didn’t get in, but I promise if you show them that you genuinely want this career and are in it for the patients and for the science, they’ll take you and love you! Good luck to anyone that needs it, I believe in you all(:

I’m having to wait another year too! Don’t worry we will get through this and we will get accepted the next time! I’m sure of it!

Indeed God has better plans, just continue to trust in Him and have faith. God bless you! ❤️

Hey there!! Thank you for posting this the honest video. It sincerely stinks that you didn't get in. I am rooting for you!!

Retry!! I honestly was gonna give up because I didn't get a response the week everyone was getting accepted. I just kept praying and hoping and I got my acceptance letter a few weeks ago! I can's wait to start!

I just found your channel!! I am so sorry, everything happens for a reason. please never give up!!🤍🤍

It's totally okay Maddy! I hope you have nothing but good things happen to you from here on out! Don't feel like you waisted you time! I know you will find something else for you college career! Keep going strong! You will get through this!

Hey I wanna tell you something real quick. I graduated high school 2018. I found this university (which is where I attend) here in Florida, and I was always interested in radiology. I had a good GPA to get into the school so I automatically got accepted in the school to start and complete my gen eds. But to be able to get into the actual rad tech program, I had to do an entrance exam. I took it the first time and didn’t pass, I really didn’t care cuz I had a year to take it and had a couple chances (3 in total) I took it a second time around the second semester and failed by 6 points. And I had one chance left and passed it over 2 pts and you don’t know how happy I was. I got into the program and started my classes. They are monthly meaning the duration is 4 weeks each class and accelerated so it wasn’t easy. When I went into physics I got depressed because it was so much work. I failed and took a 4 month break. I went back to the program and right now I’m doing awesome. Already went to clinicals for two months straight and passed all my evaluations with the patients that the school requires and I’m 8 months away from graduating. What I want to tell you is to never give up. You’re reading this and seeing how hard it was for me and I still managed to pull through and didn’t give up. I believe in you! Sometimes God puts obstacles to see how you handle it👏🏻✍🏽 I pray and believe you will get into the program

Thank you for sharing your experience. The same thing happened to me and fortunately I was able to apply to another school(community college). So far so good. I wish you well and you are inspiring.

I didn’t get in my first time applying either! I felt so lost but knew I wanted to try again and now I’m starting my second year In the program. It’s so rewarding and difficult and challenging. I wish you luck and hope you get in! 👏

I appreciate your video so much you have no idea. God's timing

It’s a horrible feeling getting that email. My world was absolutely crushed & I felt the same way about not knowing what to do in the fall! Someone dropped out & I ended up getting in a few weeks later.. but you’re absolutely right about getting to be a kid a little bit longer. I don’t know how your program works, but I do 40 hours of clinical (unpaid) every week for the past two years while trying to work on the side. It is worth it in the end though! Make the most of this year 😊

I got denied last semester. I feel u girl. My school accepts new students every fall and spring semester. I got an interview this Friday and will know if I got in for spring 2022. Wish me luck!

I am about to have my interview in a few weeks and you have such a calming presence to you! I am so sorry you did not get in. I hope you never give up! I am so nervous about not getting in.

I promise you learn so much from your first time. I had to apply twice. It’s always a good idea to apply to several programs I’m about o graduate I got denied 2018 for one school and got in 2019! Don’t give up if it’s what you really want to do

I'm sorry! You've got a great attitude trying trying to focus on the positive aspects. You'll get there!

Things 100% do happen for a reason! I almost applied in 2019 but ended up getting pregnant and my due date was the month the program started so I waited a year and covid happened. I applied in 2020 and got in and now the seniors are behind because they missed 7 months of clinicals and can't graduate on time! I'm so happy I waited. If you really want it reapply and you will probably have a better chance of getting in because of previously applying! Fingers crossed everything works out for you! ❤

Good luck!

Proverbs 16: 9 !!!!!!! Your program seems hard to get into but just from this video alone I can tell you have such a strong passion to go into this field. I think its great that you're getting so much healthcare exposure in the mean time, but hopefully everything goes better next year

This is a year ago, and I hope things are different now, but it took me 2 tries to get in! And I started two weeks ago and it’s everything I hoped and knew I’d love! Hoping the best for you, this is my first time seeing your channel

Gods timing is perfect! Don’t give up girly!!

In a similar boat as you. God will always provide. His timing. May God bless you

went through the same thing at 2015 cried my eyes out, learnt dental assistance, got a job but felt unfulfilled and more...at 2019 I retried on rad school and got in, now I'm at my third year and mad I still have no idea if this is for me... good luck

Don’t be disappointed. You will do great. Never give up.

I got accepted the first time... finished 2 semesters and currently undergoing summer clinical. Thus far I'm loving every experience of it. Nonetheless, my advice is that do not be discouraged! It is easier said than done, but keep your faith and hope in God. Keep your head up and apply again! My comment is quite late, yet I hope you got into a program by now! You will not regret it! God is with you always!

Luckily my program accepts people THREE times a year! But I'm so sorry to hear about that.. if that's really what you want, don't give up!! You got this.

Maddy, your video came up as I was looking for cardiology information to study for another modality registry and I thank G-d it did because I wanted to share with you and others here. First, let me give all honor and glory to G-d for today and for this opportunity to share. Okay so I didn't get in on my first attempt either and I was disappointed and upset also but then I knew that this was not my time to be in the program. I knew my steps were being led by our L-rd J-sus so I just waited patiently and was accepted the following year. My class was awesome! We had so many students helping each other out. I had a girl in my class that became a good friend til today, she and I had the first two clinical sites together and we helped each other out in everything we did in order to succeed in the classroom as well as in the clinical setting. Next I want to share some tips with you once are in the program, be YOU! Have fun and talk with the techs (that includes the CT, MRI, Sonographers, etc.) RAD's, Management in the clinical sites you are placed into. At the same time when it's time to be professional, GIVE that awesome patient care. Provide patient care you would want to see your mom, dad, brother or any Love one have while being cared for at an imaging center or hospital. Remember you are selling you mostly over your experience (but study and learn positioning at the least) because you are still a student and most places will teach you their protocols. Now that being said keep your fun to a respectable one or others will feel threatened and think that you're just flirting with techs or management and that WILL be remembered. And the Imaging dept is a small world, people will share what they saw. Lastly, it's a two year program and it's gonna fly by so learn what's being taught because most will be in the registry you will have to take for your ARRT license. I wrote to much sorry for that but thought I needed to share. Have a blessed day and remember Proverbs 3:5....

Did u ever get in ? I had the same exact experience! Hopefully u did 🙏🏽😊💜

I know how it feels to feel discouraged with not geting in. I applied for x-ray school in 2018, and got denied because I didnt have enough points on my application. Although I had all the prerequisites and classes I needed, I didnt have enough extra points to excel ahead. I felt so sad and disappointed I didnt get in. So i retook another class online, and I reapplied for it again in 2019. And I got in! Im currently in my last semster of xray school, so dont give up! You will get there

I didn’t get into my rad tech program this year either so I’ll have to wait until Feb 2021 to reapply again. I totally understand what you mean about it feeling like a set back! Because I really want to get in and graduate so I could start the next chapter of my life. It’s so disappointing

I’m decided to go back to school for radiology tech and I’m going to be 33 Thats my biggest fear so I hope it works out for you.

Im still doing my pre-requisites but this gives me hope just in case. Jesus really does know why he would let us progress or tell us to wait

In my school the pool is increased by 35 students, i think i have a higher chance getting in due to the pandemic. Also we tend to speak faster when we are nervous.

You should make a video about the interview questions

Keep pursuing it!

if you don't mind me asking what was your gpa?

I didn't get in either. It's really wack how they be doing that. Don't stress it

i am so shocked! you're awesome and I've watched like 5 mins of you. You would have been accepted into the program if they were taking more students. also you're as pretty as keira knightly. you could do modeling on the side haha

Office politics! Your smart, beautiful, kind and fully capable of doing the job. You spoke too fast and didn't elaborate on some pointless question. Wow! It's like asking someone applying to McDonald's where they see themselves in 5 years knowing every new hire quits after 3 months. Office politics!

Keep your chin up, girl!!

it took me several rejections until my name was picked. Your time will come trust in God's timing.

I know how feel I waited 2 years & they lost my application, & unfortunately they said it’s a 3 year wait now, but.. I found a school I can apply for this year for a different degree. Hoping I get in this fall.

I will know in two weeks if I get into my radiology program. I’ve been taking the last few prerequisites toward nursing just in case I don’t make it in. Then I can apply for both programs until I get into either. The suspense is killing me thoughh

Good video Nice channel 👍🏽

Dude you ever get in the progam such a competive progam to get into need to have a backup plan don't want to spend 3 years of your life trying to get in when you got have finished something else

I love the way that you are

I cant believe the 3 people that disliked this.

Thank you so much Mandy for making this video!! 💗

Did you ever get In ?

Yess sis. I recommend making youtube videos about Jesus and his word :)

I know I am very late about this but yes so many motivated comments here do not give up!

Fortunately i got in the rad tech program but unfortunately my friend didn't and that was terrible now i have me exams and I'm feeling terrible cuz it's so fucking difficult I'm dying.

any updates on applying again? did you retake anything. Mine accept 30 every year and it sucks i wish they do fall, summer, and spring like they do nursing 🙄

I was not accepted to my program after waiting four months for decison letters :( Considering reapplying next year

In the same shoes as you, just have to trust gods plan we’ll get there!

Apply now and you’ll get in

Apply to other schools. Good luck 👍

I‘ from Europe (Switzerland). In my program there are 24 students at the moment (a year ago we were 27). I‘m in a three year program. First you habe to apply for school and if you get in there you have to apply for a clinical place at a hospital. You only get in if you are fast to get both really quickly.

Hey Maddy. What's plan B for you?

You can’t apply to another school???

how where your grades tho? where your grades fine?

I see some of your videos are in CO- did you apply to a school there?

lol

I prefer Baby Jesus
