Well i gotta try and get my anxiety out someway, studying the last three months for there internal model designations, accrynmes, trannies, engines, numbering systems just has me all worked up

Anyone here ever go through the program up here in woodcliffe lake, or when it was still montvale.

AH crap, I can't wait for tommorrow to be over so i can relax a little. Gotta get up at 5:30 make sure i have everything and can be there when class starts at 6:30am

Anyone going into any trade schools looking to get into one of the secondary trade school programs like this ?

Graduated from UTI's NTI campus Nov 2009, i know that getting into one of those MSAT's is very good,I have a friend who went thru the bmw step and he works at a local bmw for 7 years now. A path i wouldnt mind taking but currently im in the process of getting training for something else that in time ill explain more about.

UTI in the MORNING!!! Lmao I'm attending the Exton Campus now lol Its not that bad of a school basically how much effort you put into it determines what you'll get out of it

And good luck at STEP

the basic requirements are a 90% gpa, and 97% percent attendance. Clean dirivng record. Then you have an interview over the phone and a two hour test before you get into the MSAT. Then you have to be accepted into on of the schools which have there own requirements after that. BMW just had another personal interview face-to-face, along with 6 months work experience, each class consist a maximum of 12 students to.

yea congratulations... just keep working hard and it will deffinitly pay off... i know a couple of people taht did step.. and also my budy did the audi program and he is doing very well also... on a side note... stupercharged... i went to ATC in exton for autobody over there... and i cant agree more with what you said... in a normal tech school what you put in is what you get out... at these step things though i feel its more accelerated and you have to work at it or you just wont make it...
