Drexel University-ACE Program Fall '09

Clam,
I deferred my acceptance from Spring 09 to Fall 09. I filled out my Intent to Enroll form & sent in my matriculation fee ($500). I noted on the form that I wished to defer my acceptance until Fall 09. Then, I made a copy of that form & my check and emailed it to Tina Hueghes. She contacted me back the same day, saying that my place was confirmed for the fall. You dont need to explain anything.

You should definitely play a sport, it keeps you sane while in a demanding program! I definitely think people wit backgrounds in psychology and sociology struggle so much more, because science classes are so much more challenging in a way that people from that major aren't used to. But if you think about it, they have to have the same pre req"s as you, so that shouldnt really be much of a reason. This program comes down to your mentality, have a positive one and you will do fine

My biggest problem was that I came from a college background based upon research and writing. However, I did have a full year of full-time pre-rec classes at a local community college which prepared me well for power point regurgitation classes.

Even though I have passed everything thus far (I'm going into my last quarter), I would have earned much higher grades had I just memorized powerpoints and not read any books. I love reading and get caught up in trying to understand stuff, but that is not what gets you good grades in the ACE program. Exams, for the most part, are straightforward and are based on recall not critical thinking as they claim. Anyway, I've learned my lesson and am ready for all A's in my last quarter of ACE.

Good luck!

Attn Fall 09 ACErs - check your drexel email for important compliance information - info on background check, drug screen, fingerprinting, etc etc - and uniforms. Get busy - two months until to go!!

We recently got an email with a whole bunch of info on compliance stuff (child abuse clearance, immunizations, uniforms, background check, a few forms that need to be filled out). PM me with your email if you didn't get this and I can forward it to you.

We haven't gotten book info, and the only supply stuff is what was included with the uniform requirements. We get a PDA during orientation- it's part of the tuition. I've read in older posts here that it's possible to get away with using school computers to do the synching you need to do with the PDA.

I wish we had a book list to work with- I've had to use my back to school money for a few unexpected expenses so I want time to get things as cheaply as possible.

No problem

I'm totally the impatient type. I want to know EXACTLY everything there is to know about the program and no less lol.

But orientation is not that much further off.
