Drexel ACE Fall 2012

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hey guys... Just checking to see if any of you have applied for 's ACE program for the Fall of 2012. I applied this past summer, and I know that they just began looking at applications October 15th!

Has anyone checked the portal and seen a change in their status?

CM89- this is crazy that this happened. If I were you I would definitely call the admissions department and ask for what happened/ If they can give you an explanation. Maybe it was a mistake? If I were you I would call just to make sure!!! Best of luck to you! I still have not heard.

@CM89, I have similar stats now I am getting scared. I have a 3.6 cumulative gpa with b.a. in psychology. Would you mind sharing your pre req GPA?????

I'll probably call sometime later in the week to see if I can get a better explanation. I really don't like the fact that they don't interview/ask for recommendations or reasons/or basically know anything about their applicants besides their grades. At least personally I'd rather have a doctor or nurse who is compassionate, loves what they do, and is a fun-loving person with a 3.5 rather than one who can pull a 4.0 but has zero people skills.. and their program doesn't account for that.

I don't remember the actual prereq combined GPA but I had A's in both english's, A's in both psychs, and an A in nutrition and chem lab. A- in micro. B+ in chem, in ethics, B in public speaking, B in sociology. I had a C in anatomy 1, and a B- in anatomy 2 (which I saw as the only downfall of my application BUT it was during those semesters when I was diagnosed with chronic itp, look it up future nurses!, and had my spleen removed.. which of course they are unaware of, and would have re-taken them if necessary)

Did you guys apply anywhere else? I'm waiting to hear from West Chester - I go there now but it's not looking good - They're taking ~60 of us and received 1,400 requests for applications. But at least they interview!

CM89 I go to WCU too! and after that information session for the advanced 2 BSN I was so discouraged. I took the TEAS and didnt score high enough to even get a freaking application! So I totally understand where you are coming from. They seriously need to take into consideration what kind of person you are, not just academically. Ive applied as an internal transfer at WCU because that's the only way I would get into their program. Ugh, we'll see. This is bullsh*t!!!

Hey everyone!!! I just found out today on the Discover that I was accepted!!!!! :) I am so thrilled and excited!!!! I know so many of you are anxiously waiting but I am sure you will hear soon. For a timeline: my entire app was in by September 15th. My stats are: 3.2 Cumm in Public Health (I will graduate in May!), 3.7-3.8 in my last 60 credits, which I think helped me out significantly! And about a 3.3-3.4 gpa in pre reqs. I am finishing up A and P 2 right now and only have microbiology and ethics left. I know there has Been some confusion on here about acceptances, so I hope that this doesn't confuse anyone any more, but I wanted to share with you because I know my stats will maybe give you a little confidence and some relief during this waiting period!! Good luck to ALL!!!! :)

I just checked Discover too and I got accepted too! I was astonished lol. Now Im so curious to know how the program is. My pre-req GPA was around 3.4... undergrad GPA was 3.6. This is amazing!!!! :-)

Congrats everyone! I just checked discover and I got accepted! Wooo :)

I'm so excited, i'm nervous about the program because of the rigorous pace.. but can't wait to start!!

i'm wondering how Im going to pay for it LOL

@junebugp64 would you mind sharing your stats and when you applied??? Still waiting I applied at the end of September and can't take waiting much longer. Thanks

Specializes in med/surg, psych.

congrats to everyone that got in!!:yeah:

I had my app in by sept 17th and I still have not herd anything yet =(

I applied in late August, I actually emailed this morning because I was worried because I had not heard back, so she put me to the top of the list to be reviewed! So, I recommend emailing them and asking when you will hear back!

I have a 3.8, and my degree is Philosophy! I still have to take Mirco and Nutrition this spring or summer!

Hi everyone...I just found out that I was accepted this morning!:):) I am so excited and relieved! I began my application in early September and I received the confirmation e-mail on September 19th. As for my stats…I will graduate with a BS in Kinesiology from Temple in the spring, and my undergrad GPA is a 3.5, pre-requisite GPA is around a 3.6 and last 60 credits GPA is around a 3.6 as well. I am currently taking microbiology, and I still have ethics and nutrition to take in the spring or summer. CONGRATS to everyone else who has been accepted!!!! GOOD LUCK to everyone else!!!!!
