DSON students- HELP, trying to get started

Well I was done with my pre-reqs when I applied, but I have a little insight into that. I am from California and I I went to DSON on December 5th. I had my interview, took the hesi, turned in my application, and was accepted the same day. (For the April cohort) I filled out my enrollment agreement and everything. As far as the pre-reqs go, you take them before the core nursing classes start. I have a friend who only has a couple pre-reqs completed, so her first 2 quarters are only pre-reqs and she says that it is about 5,000 dollars. Plus, the new federal funding does not cover pre-reqs. It is more expensive than community college, (By ALOT!) But you get them done in a much shorter period of time. You get accepted into the program (after passing the hesi) just like you do if you have finished your pre-reqs, but I am assuming you must keep the minimum grade requirements just like when you are in the core nursing classes. I hope that helps!
