Default SAM enrollment...

Been trying to contact the school all day and its always busy....hopefully Bigbronco will see this and be able to give me good answer...im looking to enroll around December and I was wondering if theres a enrollment period around there or if I need to enroll in November, I have the info packet and I don't see any for December...Is Nov. 6 the last chance I have this year to enroll?

Like I said I have all the info here but i wanted to talk to a real person but apparently they are busy over there today...so if anyone knows anything please chime in...Thanks!

Garrett

Definitely meant students and they were far from stupid. I've talked to some of the instructors on the phone but to talk to the students and here them say its totally worth it was pretty cool.

Good luck with it, it's an awesome opportunity!! I had to work and go to school, and it sucked to have to leave as they put a 9000 RPM Hot Street motor on the dyno!

There are a few students and graduates on here. Some are sponsors.

I wanted to start in Nov. but i don't want to be rushed to move all my stuff and find a place to stay. I'm gonna be starting on Jan. 8th, dude im ready to do this already, i've been wanting to go for a few years now and i've just now found the time to make it happen

I'll def update when i get back tomorrow, the place looks awesome online and from what i've seen in pictures so im excited about seeing it in person.

I worked at a machine shop for awile when i was in my hometown, ran a lot of HAAS machines as well as Milltronics, so im no stranger to machining, i've just never done the automotive side of it.
