[nagdu] School Applications

[Sam Hogle]

Hi Miranda. My name is Sam and I live in Georgia with a male golden from 
TSE named Mason. He is my first guide and we were matched in May of 
2009. As for the application process, I applied in September, and got my 
home visit in December. I'm not sure how long it usually takes, but when 
I thought that was a long wait and gave the school a call in December a 
week before my visit, they didn't seem to think I was rushing things. 
So, I guess that was the normal amount of time. Then again, I have a 
friend who went to South Eastern that got an interview within a month or 
two after applying, so I guess it just depends. As for the more than one 
school thing, I know several people who did that. Once they got in to a 
school, they just called the other ones and had their files closed. Hope 
this helps, and good luck with your application process.
