Conversation Between wizong00 and nursechiny

Hi. I've applied for Drexel's ACE Spring 2010 and have some questions.

- Is it roughly the same as other programs in terms of difficulty? How much study time do you have to devote a week?
- Can you address the drop out rate? Are they good students dropping out or people that just aren't focused?
- How flexible were they with pre-reqs? I have a few classes that could/should count as ethics, stats or comp apps, but aren't specifically titled as such.
- For those that were failed or held back, what were their options?
- Is public transportation possible w clinicals?
- Is there any external support (professors, advisors, etc.)? I just hear a lot more bad things about the prgm than I do good & more negative feelings than other prgms. I'm interested in it b/c of $, location ($of living as opposed to NYC), & timing (starts sooner than other prgms). All important reasons, but not sure if I should be seeing the signs when it comes to all the negative feedback.
