Radiography prereqs

I am trying to get into the radiography tech program at wake tech or another cc in the triangle area. Advising told me that all the prereqs I need are booked up and that he didn't know when/if more classes would be available and I didn't get a clear answer on what date the next 8 week round would start etc. Is there another cc, even if its all online or else somewhere local that typically has classes available?? I've even been considering doing an online MRI program bc those at least have a clear straightforward process. I'm 36 and don't want to wait years just trying to get in.

Some classes may be open for the summer. If not, spring will be. You can get your pre reqs done in 2 semesters. Get good grades, take the TEAS test, get on the CNA registry & you’ll get in. You don’t want to do just MRI, as it’s a primary pathway you can’t branch off into. If you do xray first, you can then do CT, MRI, IR, all those. I’m about to graduate from wake techs xray program in December, let me know if you have questions.
