[nagdu] Sichawation that I'm having with GDB

[PICKRELL, REBECCA M (TASC)]

It's a fair question. I'd also be interested in the answer. 
I'd also be curious to know if their councelors are true liscensed councelors and in what type of counceling are they liscensed. 
If they are lay councelors, that's fine, I'd just like to know that and to know what their specialty is and how they go tit. 

I'd even be okay with Grandma or Grandpa providing counceling based on their own life experience, I just need GDB or any school to be honest about it.

I've been turned down by GDB twice and a friend recently was turned down. 
Most of the people turned down by GDB are good handlers and have been 
accepted into other schools.

Maybe GDB is so popular because of their $200.00 a year stipend for 
veterniary care and they just can't take in the amount of people applying to 
them - thus the high rejection of applicants rate.  If I am incorrect on 
this, please someone let me know.  People have asked me about this and I'd 
like to give an accurate answer. thanks.

Happy New Year everyone!!!

Lyn and Landon
