hey everyone,

I'm currently applying for Drexel's Ace program and I was just wondering about the GPA you need to get in, I know they say you need a 2.75 but will they really take ppl with that gpa, I have a 2.8 so i'm kind of nervous about not getting accepted, also for alumni of the program, do you feel you guys were well prepared for the boards. Sorry for all the questions, but I am just really nervous about the program. Thanks.

hey i applied to drexel ACE and i had a 2.85 gpa and did not get accepted. Best of luck though!

Now that you graduated from Drexel would you do it all over again?
Any suggestions on getting accepted into the programs there?

Hey guys, to all of you in the program...lots of luck! I honestly must say, now looking back, I'm glad I did it, but while I was in it, I thought it sucked. Probably the best advice is to surround yourself with positive people. It's too intense a program and goes by too fast, so don't study with or hang with a bunch of people who are constantly complaining about test questions or clinicals, and very soon you will see what I mean. Just move on, because just like high school, this will all be over and you won't see these people anymore. It's totally do-able, but it's a lot of work, but awesome and the faculty are always available, any time of day or night, so don't hesitate to get in touch with them if you need help. Once again, good luck.

nikpic2212,
great advice! that's what i wanted to hear. thank you.

Great advice-thanks! Have you read some of the posts from a few years back (around 2006)? If you have, would you say from your experience that the program has improved? I'm not reading too much into those comments as it was a while back and I have read a lot of positive comments as well about the program, but still wanted to get some insight.

Hey Nikpik2212,

Thanks for the advice.
Do you know when/how we sign up for our classes? Also, do you know where I can find the exact start date?

Any information is helpful, I feel like im in the dark to this program and I am going in the fall!
