Mountainside

I start there this fall. They are the most cooperative faculty. They will listen to what you have to say and give you whatever information that you may need. I went to Essex County College for my prereqs. The Chemistry isnt equivalent unless you take 2 courses, so I just finished the chemistry at Passaic County College (they don't charge out of county tuition). See if the county college that you are near to has a program that will allow you to get your hs diploma or a GED while you take courses. Do as well as you can, use www.ratemyprofessors.com to help you choose the professors to take so that you don't stress yourself out. Its not impossible for you. Sometimes schools have alternatives (like for those with a GED and some college credits) that they don't post only because its not the "usual" situation. So call them and ask. Also, take your prereq courses at a community college. Mountainside is hooked up to Montclair State Univ and New Jersey City Univ and you will pay THE UNIVERSITY tuition although you will take the course on the Mountainside campus. Why pay $1200 for a class when you can pay that for 3 or 4 classes elsewhere and just transfer them? Good Luck to you!

As far as I know, you can CLEP Sociology & Psychology, but you have to take actual English Comp I & II courses, and the other science classes.

For Chemistry Class, if you take College Chemistry I, they ask you to take College Chemistry II too, since the school wants some organic chemistry stuff. I'm not sure if you take General Chemistry I, will they take it?

I feel the school is much easier to get into than the community colleges around, probably because it is very expensive. Neverthless, it is a very very good school, with excellent faculty, and lots of clinical trainings that prepare you well for your job. Worth the money and investment.
