Accepted to Platt College Colorado, Sept 2013, HELP!

[x0dinosaur]

Hey Everyone,

I have a small dilemma. I recently got accepted to Platt College in CO, FALL 2013 BSN program. This is a nlnac accredited, 36 month program split up into 4 "semesters." I have read many Platt Programs reviews but nothing recent, all 3 years or older which are outdated and from when the school just rolled the program out.

Has anyone recently started or graduated the program and what did they think? Program runs about $21,000 per 9 months, so without any financial help just federal and private loans that is about $80,000 in student loans after graduation ( this is is giving me cold feet,) but compared to other well known universities in Denver such as Regis, CU Boulder that is about the same is what I'm told and you need close to perfect GPA because of how competitive they are. I also have a lot of my pre-req's transferred in which saved me some $$. I do not want to do the community college waiting list route and those I believe only give you an ASN.

Is there anyone who can give me RECENT feedback on PLATT college in Aurora, CO? I don't want to invest so much money into the unknown. Is that about average in student loans after graduation with a BSN (without any financial aid/ scholarships)? (Also I do not have a previous degree so I can't go that route either.)

Appreciate any feedback,

Just to add on, I am a fellow Platt Graduate as well, just graduated back in March and have passed my NCLEX-RN. Honestly one of the best choices I made, you get to do the pre-reqs right along with the nursing classes, and you get it done a lot quicker. Plus I agree that the faculty look after you, especially if you ask for help. They are more than appreciative and will help out. Another benefit is getting those 900 hours of clinicals. I mean yeah it is expensive but than again it's your future.

Hello,

I've applied to the 2014 Fall semester and was supposed to find out this week if I got in. I called this afternoon and they said give the admissions team until Monday and now I'm having doubts. I'm so afraid I won't get in even though I've been working as an EMT for the past 4 years and have great transcripts. Any advice?
