Drexel Nursing ACE Program Fall 2013 - Page 2

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I was accepted into the Fall 2013 ACE program yesterday. I found out when I logged on to my Discover Drexel account around 4pm. I know I would have wanted to know if someone else got their acceptance, so I figured I would share.

I posted earlier with all my GPA's, but would be more than happy to answer any other questions about my courses/grades etc.

Good luck to everyone! I can't wait to meet my future classmates!

Congrats!! I just logged on to see if a decision was made yet, but it hasn't changed. When did you have everything submitted for your application?

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!

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 Drexel 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 Drexel 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!
You should be hearing back soon

i was accepted as well! if anyone is worried and wants my stats feel free to message me..i didnt think i would really get accepted at all to nursing school so i can hopefully reassure some of you

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 Drexel 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!
