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.

Hey guys! I e-mailed Evan a week ago and he sent me an e-mail back to me this afternoon saying that my application was in the queue to be reviewed next week. A few hours later, I checked Discover (just because I've made a habit of it) and found out that I was accepted!! I posted my stats earlier, but for those who didn't see it, I have a 3.39 undergrad GPA and a 3.6 in my last 60 credits. Good luck everyone!!

I am not sure if reading all the posts from former ACE applicants is helpful or harmful. I am also applying to UMDNJ....but don't know if I will have the same chance of getting a job.

The general consensus on this forum is that it doesn't matter where you go for nursing school, your degree is what matters (BSN is becomming the preferred degree for employment). It seems that the opinion here is that employers only see the endpoint, which is RN BSN and that's all that matters to them.

However, on the ACE general facebook group, I have seen that Drexel nursing students are well regarded (in the area atleast) and some tend to get jobs fairly quickly after graduation.

What is his e-mail?

Hi Juliemo,

The advisor's email is [email protected] I checked my application status yesterday and found out it was put on hold & may require additional documentation. I emailed Evan, but he is out of the office today and will return on Monday. I tried searching for other forums to figure out why my application was put on hold, and found that many said it was because wanted the grades for the prereqs they're currently taking. I'm taking chem now, so I'm assuming they want me to submit my grade before making a final decision...considering that this is my second time taking chem b/c i didn't do so well my first time.

nursemommy2,

I applied to I applied to UMDNJ via nursing CAS. I didn't bother to follow up or see if I needed to turn in any other material, so that was pretty lazy of me I guess. At the same time, however, I didn't even get an automated email response from them. Oh well!

greyham,

I did not apply to UMDNJ yet, because you have to have all pre-reqs complete before you can apply. I am still taking pre-reqs at this point. They require the least pre-reqs of any other school that I looked at in this area. I would prefer to go there because I am in NJ and I think overall it would be easier, but I don't believe you do any clinicals in Phila at all. Out of the last graduating class, only 2 students found jobs. That is what scares me....it seems that the nursing market in this area is flooded.

I found out I got in today. I emailed Evan on Monday and he told me my application was in the que to be reviewed this week. I had all of my documents in by october 15th. Do you guys know when the deposit is due? I only had a 3.1 in my undergrad but had As in my prerequisites so I think that helped a lot. I still have 2 more prerequisites to complete. Good luck everyone! For those who haven't heard back yet, I would definitelly recommend emailing Evan. He's been very helpful throughout the application process.

Once you get your official acceptance letter in the mail, you have 60 days from the time you receive that letter to pay the deposit.
