   juniataemt06 replied to alg12's topic in Pennsylvania

   Pupule, I had a good experience with the ACE program. You'll hear a lot of people complaining about it but I just chose to distance myself from them. Any accelerated program requires 100% commitment from the start. You can't let yourself fall behi...

   Good luck with your decision. I've been on the floor with students from both schools. Both schools have a great reputation. I'm in my last two weeks of the ACE program at Drexel Univ.

    juniataemt06 replied to BrieretheGr8's topic in Pennsylvania

    You will learn about it during orientation. The lady who's in charge of insurance does a big talk about it. No matter what, you must have health insurance prior to starting the program. I kept my own insurance rather then taking theirs because I t...
