Grad School Plunge...Ready to Jump!

[marianne202]

Ok, so I just got accepted into St. Joseph's College of Maine for grad school! I'm really nervous and worried about if this is the right decision and if I can actually get through their Master's in Healthcare Admin. I arrived here 15 months ago with the sole goal of finishing my associates degree. Now I have finished that as well as one bachelors degree and I'm 15 credits and 4 months away from finishing my second bachelors degree. I guess I can blame you all for all your support and encouragement, but have I now gone too far?

Now at 47 I'm actually this close to entering grad school! Am I too old to do this? Is it crazy at my age to plan for 2 more years of school? This program seems a perfect fit for me and it is super reasonable in cost compared to other programs. I'm excited but also very scared. This just seems like a huge commitment compared to what I have done to date. I'm also worried about the expense. The school doesn't offer any scholarships and my employer doesn't do much, so does anyone have any suggestions? Can anyone give me some insight on what I might expect in an online grad program?

Thanks for all the support and encouragement...I think!! LOL!
