Where can I find training for ultrasound tech/medical sonographer in columbus, ohio?
I've been searching for hours and can't find a single school in columbus, only other cities in ohio. Please help! Also, I have a very low high school g.p.a. Will they let me in?

There are actually 10 CAAHEP accredited programs in Ohio. Well, 9 really - don't count Sanford Brown, you don't want to go there. Just go to this link, select Diagnostic Medical Sonographer and then Ohio to see all the results. http://www.caahep.org/Find-An-Accredited-Program/ Without knowing your GPA or the requirements of the schools you'll be looking at, I have no idea if you'll get in. However, technical schools/community colleges tend to be a bit more forgiving than universities. Once you are in and are working on your pre-requisites for the program, make sure you work really hard to get good grades. A lot of DMS programs have a competitive admissions process, meaning your grades will determine how quickly you can get into the program after applying. And you also want to work hard in those pre-req classes because it will help prepare you for the DMS program. These programs are intense & stressful, and you have to keep your grades up above a C to remain in the program. So you need to develop really good study habits and test-taking skills now. Good luck :)

You can go to Columbus State Community College and apply. Originally I was going to apply for this program but it is VERY competitive. I applied for the nursing program instead.
