Re: What's the deal with Platt College in Aurora?
Hello!

I have never been to Platt College before, but I have been to a similar college (another private, for-profit technical/trade college). As far as I know with Platt, you do have to go through interviews and testing. Platt's entrance requirements are different because the prerequisites are rolled into their BSN program. It's an accelerated, fast-paced program. Also, because it is a private, for-profit college, the nursing program is extremely expensive (I'm talking up in the $60,000 range, if I remember correctly). I'm not sure if they offer federal financial aid for their program. Maybe someone who is in the program or who has been through it can answer that. I can't speak for the quality of education at Platt because I've never been there. However, after reading previous forum posts about Platt college, I can see that some students love the program, and some hate it.
I know this is not much help, so I hope someone who has been to Platt can answer. Good luck to you in your search for the right nursing school!
