I DID IT!!!!!! (ego is feeling very healthy)
I was accepted as a midwifery student for this fall!!!!
I logged on this afternoon to see if anything was posted online, and there it was: ADMITTED. I couldn't believe it so I actually called their admitting department to double check. The woman working in "Admitting" laughed and said "yes honey, you are admitted...congratulations!" This was followed by a whole bunch of whooping and happy dancing around the house! I still can't believe it!!! I am so excited!
Shortly after I updated my Facebook status, a doula friend/acquaintance of mine called to congratulate me. She said that there had been a buzz on the street that someone from Red Deer had gotten an interview but that nobody knew who! She said that Barb (our local senior midwife) had heard that the minimum GPA that wound up being accepted was 3.75. She also said that all core high school classes had to be above 60% regardless of how much post secondary education was completed. Wow. At any rate, I phoned Barb tonight to and left her message telling her "who" the Red Deer applicant was, lol. I had no idea that my application/interview had created so much interest in our local community!
And now I am going to just bask in the happy feelings that are flooding my body right now. I am going to intentionally NOT worry about the logistics and semantics of how this is going to work. For today I am happy, appreciative, thankful, and very very excited! Tomorrow (or the day after) I will figure out how the HELL I am going to make this work.
