BSN Express Villanova V.S. Jefferson FACT

Published

I attended Villanova's BSN Express Program in May 2014 but was dropped from the program for receiving below a 70% on the medsurge exam. Villanova is a good school but if you fall below a 70% on any exam, "your gone".

The nice thing about the school is that if you fail, you can be invited to re-attend the next year starting at the point that you failed. I elected to attend Thomas Jefferson's FACT program for May 2015 because they allow you to re-test if you fail an exam.

Hi JoeJoe3,

I am not sure where you got the info about FACT's test retake policy. I'm a FACT student and you can't retake any test. Your final grade has to be a 73% in order to continue on. Just want to make sure you know!

HI @joejoe3

I had a similar experience with Drexel, and I was wondering if you could email more or direct message me on here I had a few questions. did you have to send your villanova transcripts to jefferson and did you have a chance to explain leaving villanova? I am worried they will not accept me based on my Drexel failure even though I needed a 77 and received a 76.
