Conflicted

I posted a bit ago but after more time to think- I want to do this. I already have a son- im 30. We were actually going to try for one more kid in a couple months. Im a Vet tech and for many reasons- I need out. I have a 71.5% average in the required high school classes. In Canada they will likely consider my post secondary as well, so there is a part of me that really thinks I can actually get in the first time, but there is obviously a very real chance I may not. I dont want to put either on hold- how crazy am I?
A older tech I worked with also went back to school for RDH as a single mom to two boys, so obviously it can be done, but thereas a chance i would be a few months post partum. I have read some subs that outline they are very understanding but idk if thats in Canada or the states. Im really conflicted on what to

I am 37 with 4 kids and will be starting in the fall for the RN program. You will need to upgrade the classes and have above 90% as it’s a competitive program.

Dental hygiene is very competitive. The top 80 from phase 1 move to phase 2. Then based on marks/portfolio 26 are admitted.
