Hi, Im new at this. I am considering attending INTEC in the Dominican Republic. I am 34yrs old and have a opportunity to achieve this dream. I have many obstacles in my way. One major one is that I have arthiritis on my right ankle. I have had this problem for 10yrs now. I was attending to become a LPN when I was diagnosed, had only 6 month to go when the pain got so severe that I couldn't walk at all. Ten years later the pain has not gotten any better but my resistance to pain has. I dont fear the inablility to achieve this goal. I already have a place to live near the school and my son will be attended by my parents until he finishes 8th grade, a year from now.He will then join me.
My concern is fear that after all the scacrifice I would not obtain a match for residency. I dont know the statistic in regards to American students who study abroad.
I am attending INTEC due to finiances. There is a special catagory which I can attend the school as a Domincan due to my mother. Any child born of a Dominican resident can attend INTEC as a Dominican and pay tuition fee as such.
I need to know exactly how difficult it is to get into a residency in the U.S., I am attending Community College to obtain an A.S in Radiology Tech. I was advices by counselor that I will be graduating from this program(a 2yr program) not until 2008. Thats four years form now. I could take that time and go study at INTEC.
Any suggestion Please HELP!
