I just got an email to make an appointment for the interview. Does anyone know what kind of questions they may ask? I'm so nervous about this! Any comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I got my acceptance email on 12/14!

Congrats everyone! I got in as well, but I am still trying to decide between West Chester and Villanova. I don't know which one to choose, such a hard decision!

I am having this same dilemma. I got into both Villanova and West Chester (they were the only schools I applied to) and I am having a hard time making a decision. Honestly I am leaning more towards Villanova. The only reason I would end up choosing West Chester is because it is much cheaper. I have really liked everyone I have been in contact with at Villanova and they have been very willing to meet with me and discuss their program and just the nursing field in general. Whereas with west Chester I don't know really anything about their program or nursing faculty other than what is on their website and what we were told during the interview. I am not sure what I am going to do. what are your pros and cons for either program- or anyone else who has any thoughts on the matter?

I am also leaning more towards Villanova since I have heard so many great things about their program. I only have two cons for Villanova. One is price of their program, and the second one is the commute. What I like about West Chester is that their program is cheaper, and WCU closer to my house. However, what I do not like about West Chester is their curriculum. I read online that during the Fall and Spring Semesters you meet only one day during the week with 6hrs of class a day and 16 hrs of clinical during the weekend. Then during the Summer Semester you meet two days a week with 6hrs of class a day and 10 hrs of clinical during the week/ weekend. If I can remember correctly, for Villanova you have class M-Thu from 8am-4pm, and you may or may not have clinical over the weekend. I really like how Villanova's curriculum is more spread out instead of being crammed into one or two days a week. Good luck with your decision, it is definitely a hard one!

For me, because I need to work during the program part time I am actually planning on west Chester. The classes one day a week and weekend clinicals seem to be designed for adults with difficult schedules. Not to mention how drastically less expensive it is. But with Villanova, if money were not an issue I would go there in a heartbeat. It's an amazing program.

I can not log into myWCU Account even though I paid deposit online couple days ago. Does anybody have the same issue?

I think you need to set up your account separately from the way you paid the deposit. You can find directions here.

Hope this helps!

I got it. Now I don't know what's next... I am planning to leave the country right before the program and want to get everything together before I leave. Do we need to get all the shots and clearances before the summer semester or the fall semester?

Did anybody receive transfer credit evaluation list? In my acceptance package, it says that we should have received it before the deposit was due...

I never got a evaluation, or anything after te initial acceptance letter with the information on financial aid. I had thought they'd be sending something this month?

I also was accepted by email. The acceptance letter never came so they are resending it. I did let the coordinator of the nursing program know but I don't want to wait just in case it doesn't come again. Does anyone know the amount of the deposit we need to secure our place and who to send it to? Is anyone registered for NSG 310 for the Spring semester?

I didn't receive anything either. I was told during the interview that I needed Psych 101. We have emailed back and forth so I think everything is OK.
