Drexel ACE Spring 2014

U.S.A. Pennsylvania

Published

I know it is early, but I just found out I was accepted! I have to finish two more reqs, which I will do in the fall (i was told they have to be finished by Jan 15) Anyone else find out yet!? What are you expectations, and how will you be paying for the program, and then covering living expenses?

I will definitely be there on 8/13. I'm taking A&P I now and Micro in summer session 2 at MCCC. I will be taking A&P II on campus and Ethics online also at MCCC in the fall. The Grad Plus has all the benefits of Fed Direct loans ie being forgivable. Here's a link;

They're not the cheapest but at least they have the possibility of being forgiven after 10 yrs of payments. Private loans cannot be consolidated or deferred in most cases.

I never received my paper acceptance letter or immunizations checklist. I did find a page that lists clinical requirements it is

Hey everybody, Just got my acceptance email today for Spring 14! I am psyched, my application was on hold when I applied for Fall 13 I think because I hadn't been to college since 2007 and needed to refresh my bio & chem, and take A&P for the first time. I just completed A&P I and Chem last semester at a community college, and am taking micro and A&P II right now and that's the last of the pre-reqs, woohoo! As for financing, I'll be using the GI Bill, otherwise it would loans. As for expectations-I expect it will be tough, 11 months of holing up and studying. I'm in the military and will be getting out before class starts. I finished up my undergrad and am taking the above pre-reqs while I am on active duty, so I am thinking that not having a full time job while going to school will make life easier, or make school easier at least!

Congrats everyone! I completed my application June 9 and I found out I got in June 14 for the spring semester 2014. That was a lot quicker than I expected. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else has medical experience already and what their previous majors were? Also, if they think that will help them throughout the ACE program. I was a biology major and have about 6 years of medical experience, which I would think will help me tremendously throughout the program. I'm definitely giving up working while I'm in this program by the way. I rather focus only on classes!

Hey all,

Does anyone know the start date for "Spring 13-14". Looked all over the webpages and can't get a solid answer.

Thanks!

I just asked my academic advisor and she says March 31, 2014.

Hey everyone, I applied back in march and my app still says incomplete. I still have to send my grade for a&p2 and micro.. (I will be done with micro end of June) but I find it weird that so many of you got accepted already when it seems you have more prereqs to complete then me. I'm getting alittle nervous lol. Why is everyone getting accepted so easily and they seem to be waiting for all my sciences to be completed?

Hey Yankee. So you don't need to have all of your prereqs complete in order for them to review your application. Have you sent all of your transcripts? When you log into the portal there should be a list on incomplete items, which will tell you what they are missing in order to forward your application to the admission review committee. Your application won't be reviewed until your application status says complete and you should also receive an email stating that your application is complete and under review. Hope this helps!

Also, they consider your application incomplete until they have transcripts from all schools that you listed in the application.

You should call and ask. The admission department staff is friendly and eager to help. My husband calls me instant coffee 'cuz I hate to wait. I emailed them and was told that my decision would be posted the same day. Good luck!

Congrats again everyone! Robyn, I'm taking class at CCP NE. It's easier access for me to work after class. If anyone is in Chem 110 (51133) in late summer or Bio 241 (47128) in the fall, let me know. I just registered for the open house so hopefully some of us will get to meet that night. Yankees...I would contact Evan Williams ([email protected]). The current spring class told me about him. I emailed him twice and he responded the next day. He can probably give you the answers you're looking for. If the portal doesn't tell you what items they need for your app to be complete, let Evan know and he will find out for you. I'm not sure why, but it seems a lot of people get their acceptance letter soon after they talk to someone in admissions. I heard a couple days after I spoke with Evan. Good luck!!

Thanks! I wonder why they don't just put it on the BSN-ACE homepage...

Yankee, I would definitely contact admissions to find out if they are missing anything from your application. I started this spring and was wondering why it had been taking a while to hear back. Apparently one of my transcripts was lost in the mail or in their office somewhere. I chose to drive it down because I'm just outside of Philadelphia and didn't want it to get lost again. If you can't do that, just call and find out if something is missing. If they have everything, contact Evan Williams as was already suggested. He helped quite a few of us out when we spoke to him.

Vld, as you will soon learn, the ACE program tends to be unorganized. However, the program follows the regular University quarter calendar, which can be found on the website where the calendars are listed.

Feel free to ask me any other questions you guys may have. I am on the "break" between the first and second quarter. (The quotes are because it's only a week)
