Accepted into Drexel's ACE 2013 Program in PA; few questions for anyone else accepted

Published

I am just curious for anyone else that was accepted and planning on attending the spring or fall 2013 term how are preparing - financially? When should I begin my loan shopping process? Is it possible to get loans to cover the entire tuition? Does the tuition cost include room and board as well or will I have to find housing on my own? Is there a website that offers housing options that we can look at? Is there anyone that's been accepted that is currently living in NY like myself? Does anyone know the flunk out rate for this program as well as the passing student rate? I know I have so many questions but the forums that talk about Drexel on here either hasn't had much activity in a while or the questions I asked were not asked.Any feedback from anyone is appreciated! One more question does anyone know if tutoring is offered for students in the ACE program?

I know I'm not the only Drexel accepted person on this forum. Can someone please reply to my question, whether it's one or all? Thanks.

I'm also starting the ACE program in Spring 2013. I know that we can start applying for loans now that we are less than 6 months from starting the program. I'm living at home through the program but I have seen others who plan on living in Stiles (which I believe is the graduate housing) and some other people who are looking in the area near school for apartments and such. I'm not sure the exact pass/fail rate, but I do know there is a decent number of students who have to retake classes which sets them behind as they have to wait to join the next cohort to make up those classes before continuing in the program. I know I couldn't quite answer your questions, but I hope I helped! We also have a Facebook group for the Spring 2013 class if you search Drexel Ace Spring 2013 on Facebook you should find it. Some people on there are talking about looking for housing together.

Thank you for replying Jill & offering the information that you did. I will dig some more and try to obtain more info re housing. If you come across anything that is helpful, please let me know. This goes for anyone else reading this as well :-)
