I'm trying to decide on whether or not to apply to my employers graduate assistance program. The only reason I wouldn't is because only certain schools are on their list of schools that they have agreements with. I met with someone yesterday who could give me a bit more clarification on which schools they actually had agreements with of the list of schools I'm actually applying to. I'm applying to Frontier, EKU, Graceland, and Simmons; all reputable schools. None are easy, and all will weed you out in my opinion if you try to do the minimum in class.
I'm leaning more towards Simmons as their class style has live classes online where you can see your professors and classmates and like Frontier and Graceland require at least one campus visit for a clinical intensive which I think is a good check and balance. Unfortunately, Simmons is the only school they don't have an agreement with.
Has anyone used their employers assistance program, and did they limit what schools you could go to? Drexel and Maryville are on the list, but if push came to shove I'd apply to Drexel because they require campus visits prior to clinical classes.
One good thing, my employer is helping me shadow an NP.
