Drexel Nursing ACE Program Fall 2013

U.S.A. Pennsylvania

Published

HI guys, so I am very new to this but I am EXTREMELY anxious about getting accepted into this program for the Fall. I have a Public Health Degree and have quite some experience in the Health field (ie. hospitals, senior living home, companion care, education).

Reading other forums I really don't know what my chances are of getting in. I have seen someone with a cum. gpa of 2.6 get in, while someone with a 3.0 get denied. Anyone who has applied, have you heard back from yet? Do you know anyone who was accepted into the spring 2013 semester.

I'm praying EXTRA hard. I never wanted anything so much in my life. All my Application materials have been in since August 6.

I had everything submitted on July 24, 2012 and I heard November 15, 2012. I did apply fairly early, so hopefully you will be hear back from them very soon!

Good luck!

Congrats on getting accepted! Do you know what your undergraduate GPA was? Also, Can you let me know how many pre-requisites you had left when you applied (if any)? I have a bunch left so I think my admission decision will be delayed until after this semester and they get some more grades from me. Thanks!

Congratulations LINDSAY!!! i know no longer playing the waiting game is a relief. Question..did you get an email stating that your admission decision was made, or did you just happen to check and saw that you were accepted?

I applied July 25th, and all my Application Materials were in by August 6th I believe. I hope i hear back soon. THis is so nerve-wrecking. Also considering the fact is is the ONLY place i applied to.

jrb1045: My undergraduate GPA was a 3.2. However, I have a much higher GPA in my pre-reqs. I am currently finishing my last pre-requisite now, otherwise I have the rest of them finished. I believe you need to have at least 9 of them completed to recieve a decision.

MsDooyah: No longer playing the waiting game is certainly a relief, but now I have all the other forms of anxiety that accompany an acceptance letter! I checked Discover on my own, and saw that I was accepted. About two days later I recieved an email that a decision had been made regarding my application, and to visit Discover Drexel. Yesterday I recieved the actual paper letter in the mail.

Drexel was my first choice, so I will be putting down my deposit by next week. Good luck to everyone!

Hey guys!

I am new to the thread, but have been actively scoping out these amzing threads! I just wanted to let you guys know I have been officially accepeted into the ACE Program for the 2013 Fall start date! I received and e-mail yesterday around 4:50 pm stating "congratulations on your provisional acceptance..."!! I am super excited. Also applied to UPenn's BSN 2013 program, but am not too worried about getting rejected i'll live lol. So I know you guys may have questions so here goes. I am so excited to be apart of this journey with you guys.

Did Undergrad at Saint Joes 12': BS in Healthcare Administration

Undergrad GPA 3.2

Pre Reqs Left : Chem and Ethics which will be taken next semester

Not too sure what my Pre-req gpa is because the semester has not eneded yet.

I applied on August 12 this summer. All documents were processed in a timely matter and I finally heard back yesterday!

Experience: Currently working at The Hospital of The University of Pennsylvania and will be starting at CHOP next month :)

Be patient!!

Good Luck to everyone!

Just found out I got accepted also! I found out at around 12pm. I didn't receive an email though, I just checked the portal. Some of my stats:

I'm currently finishing up my B.S. in General Science (I graduate in May, so this is a provisional acceptance)

My current cumulative GPA is a 3.070, however, the I graduated with my associates degree in Medical Assisting with a 3.8 so that might have helped.

I currently work in the lab at a hospital, and have interned over 200 hours in doctor's offices for my MA degree.

Anyway, I'm still debating on because of the cost and I would definitely need to work somehow during, even if its just enough to pay my car note or for food/etc. I have also applied to UPenn, LaSalle, and am thinking about applying to Jefferson's APW program, so I'm waiting for those

Good luck everyone!

Hey Ashley, i applied in July and my application was complete between August 6-12th. no later than that.

i didn't include anything else in my application besides what they asked for.

But I have worked at an Assisted Living Home as a CNA for 4 years, before i graduated and got the job i have now. Maybe i should have included a resume. Idk..

I called Evan last week and he said a decision should be made this week but i still haven't heard anything yet.

Im nervous, anxious. I feel like a stalker as much as i go on the portal.
