Hey I plan to apply at Drexel accelerated. My undergrad GPA was awful. Like I did good and a little bad after my freshman year. After graduation I went on to take pre reqs and my life Science pre reqs GPA was a 3.17. Any luck or anyone know how they would look at this

What was your Undergrad GPA if you don't mind my asking? They prefer something around a 3.0, though mine was a little lower. It's really impossible to tell what exactly they're looking for but there's no cost to apply (other than sending transcripts) so it's worth trying anyway!

I honestly didn’t think I would get accepted since my undergrad was a 2.89, but I got a 4.0 in all of my science prereqs when I retook it later at a community college. I was accepted a month and half later after applying for this fall, but unfortunately had to withdraw my acceptance since I can’t go now. I think it depends on how many applicants apply and the space they have for it. Also, if you’re doing a lot better than when u did in undergrad. Doesn’t hurt to apply since all I paid for was a few bucks for my transcript to be submitted ? . Good luck!

Hi everyone! I’m deciding between two accelerated nursing programs: Duquesne or Drexel. I’m having a hard time getting conclusive answers online so I’m hoping someone can help me. Can anyone give insight on both programs? Pros and cons? Does Drexel utiilize HESI, and if so, how often and do most students pass? (HESI is my biggest concern). What does it look like when students fail a course? How many students fail out of the program? How prepared do you feel to take the NCLEX? Do you feel the quarter system is doable? Any insight would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance! ?

Hi! For the people that did decide to attend Drexel's ace program could you give me some insight? Like if you like the program, the difficulty level, the teachers, organization, or anything? I am still deciding between Widener's and Drexel's ace program.
