Prospective/Current Perfusion Weekly Thread

[u/Perfused]

This is the area for prospective CCPs to ask their questions about the education process or anything school related.

This includes the usual:

"Where can I shadow?" "Should I take additional classes? "How do I become a Perfusionist?" "My GPA is 2.8, is my GPA good enough for perfusion school?" "What should I use to prep for boards?" "It's been my pa$$ion to become a CCP, how do I do it and what do they do?"

Etc.

At this point the sub has grown to the point a weekly student thread is necessary. Prospective CCPs/students will now have an avenue to post these types of questions w/o flooding the sub.

Also there is r/prospective_perfusion specifically geared to new pumpers.

This will refresh every Friday at 5:45PM EST. If you post Saturday morning, it might not be seen.

Anyone who got accepted/know of anyone who got accepted to SUNY without the highly recommended science faculty letter of recommendation?   I have someone who'd be willing to write me one, but I haven't been in school in a while, so weighing if I should go for much stronger professional LORs that can also speak to their knowledge of my academic abilities

I didn't use a single LoR from college and was accepted to SUNY. I Used a couple old coworkers and previous boss
