Are there waiting lists to get into ultrasound technician/sonography schools?
These programs oftentimes have wait lists since many more students apply than they have room to accept into the program. For instance, most schools accept between 18-25 students into their program each year and some have as many as 60-100 applying into the program. Of course, whether a program has a wait list and how long the list is varies from one program to the next. However, wait lists are common in sonography programs. Those individuals with the odds stacked in their favor for acceptance into the program have completed a college degree and/or worked in the health care industry previously, and completed the necessary prerequisites. Schools may accept students more readily if they’ve earned good grades and were in good academic standing while earning a previous college degree.
