Congratulations to Zac!

This semester, Zac has been busy with school...studying, getting good grades, doing well on tests, projects and speeches, along with applying for the Radiologic Sciences program at BSU. The application process alone consisted of filling out an application, contacting references (some of which were from his days in the Marine Corps) having them fill out a reference form, writing an eye catching application letter and then waiting! The first hurdle was completed. The second hurdle was getting an interview! The beginning of March, Zac recieved a letter notifying him that he was granted an interview. This was very exciting! So Zac prepared himself for the interview, which he had March 17th and then he had to wait. He felt pretty good about the interview and overall felt like he was a pretty strong applicant. Both Mom and Aunt Barb put in a good word for him, but still it was a waiting game. The program is pretty competitive and difficult to get into! This year, 120 applicants applied. 55 applicants were granted an interview and only 23 applicants were accepted into the program. Those statistics alone are pretty impressive and Zac should be very proud of himself! We knew the letters (regardless of acceptance or not) were being sent out Friday before spring break. This way, when applicants recieve their letter the offices at BSU are closed because of spring break. So what a better way to end an amazingly epic weekend of skiing than to come home to an acceptance letter in the mail! So Zac will finish out this semester and have the summer off of classes and then start the program next fall! The program lasts two years and then he will go on for a third year to earn a bachelors in some sort of radiological sciences field. Way to go Zac! Keep up the hard work...it will all pay off in the future and now the future is within reach!
