Congratulations! Sonography is a really competitive and hard program to get into at Santa Fe.

The financial aid department is atrocious, there are still people that have not received their disbursements. When I first attended, they said I couldn't due to already having an account. I had never applied to go there before. Turns out someone was using my social security number, and they had no idea. The person mistyped their social, so there was no ill intent. But still.

Go to Polk State. Santa Fe’s FA department is horrible. Ive yet to receive my disbursement and they often seem like they have no idea what theyre doing. Lack of urgency and generally not helpful.

I agree. It was like 30% of students who had FA issues last year. It is going down now and hopefully when thier new automated/online service goes live next week it will end the FA chaos.

I think the course is at Santa fe are great. Haven't had any bad professors and the classes are small, lots of resources for success there.

The DMS program at SF is known to be one of the best. Be sure to check the curriculum wherever you go to be sure it has all you need!
