My fears for transferring came true

Tweet

I've been trying to transfer to Bastyr University in Washington over the past year and my worst fears came true. I don't have all of the proper prerequisites to get into the program that I want to which is a Bachelor's Degree in Herbal Sciences for Herbal Medicine. I so desperately want to be able to get into that program and my goal was to be able to start it this fall. Right now I am apparently short four and a half social science credits, two general chemistry classes, and a botany class which I am currently working on. I know that the only way I can take two general chemistry classes is by going to a school and it would take two semesters to complete both classes which now stretches my goal to next summer at best. I am doubting that I will be able to get all of those classes done online or any other way before fall. I think that I may possibly apply to a different program so then I can at least get started in my practice of natural medicine. Perhaps I can get into the accupuncture, ayurveda, or nutrition programs. If not I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Bastyr is in Washington and I am living in Michigan right now. I was planning on moving out there at the end of August but now I'm not sure what I'm going to do. My girlfriend and I were planning on moving there together and I've been saving a lot of money for it. I don't know whether I should move there anyways because I won't have any job security or anything like that and it is going to be a big and expensive move for us. I guess I'll figure it all out as time progresses and I'm still going to pursue this program as soon as I possibly can. I just really want to be able to pursue my goal of helping people to get healthy as soon as possible. Once I can do that then I can really get a lot of projects going that I have in mind like a charitable farm that I've been dreaming of. I am incredibly eager to get started on that dream.
