Hey everyone! Thought I would inform you guys! I contacted someone from admissions and this is what they said about Portage Learning: Courses taken at Portage Learning can be considered for transfer credit. 
 

Hope this helps! 

Will the school accept patho and pharm?

Has any received "Close to Aggregate Federal Student Loan Limit Documentation" on their financial aid tab? 

This will be my second bachelor's and I'm honestly freaking out about how much loans I'm going to get to pay for tuition while in school. Anyone in the same boat???

I am in the same boat! My mum is trying to pitch in as much as possible and I have a little money saved up from work but it won't be enough... I really don't want to take out private loans but it may be my only option

For the people who have already accepted their enrollment, did you receive a breakdown of everything with tuition, housing, technology fees, etc? I know sometimes some schools put a tuition price fee on the website but when you confirm your enrollment you'll find extra fees that were not initially included... I believe the tuition alone is about 55k 

 

I'm going to check with the financial aid office

Hi Everyone!

How long did it take you guys to hear back with a decision? I had to wait until the end of fall semester to get my final transcript in with 2 prereqs on it so now I'm just anxiously waiting

So they said castlebranch requirements will not come out until June. However you can get started on your titers and immunizations. Thats what I'm doing. I'm going to do my titers and see if I need any boosters so I am up to date before September. Hope this helps

Hey, took approx 4-6 weeks for a decision to be rendered when I submitted my application

RE castlebranch requirements - was this mentioned somewhere on the website? Or did you call? I appreciate your response :)!

After being waitlisted for the last three months, my application has been withdrawn. Has this happened to anyone else?? Drexel never reached out to me with any information prior to the email about my application being withdrawn. They have all of my transcripts and all other documents they need. I’m frustrated because I had not heard from them during this application process. I meet all of their criteria for admission too.

Hey, I recommend getting in contact with your Admission contact that Drexel emailed you. Once I found out I got waitlisted, I was able to schedule an individual counseling session with my counselor. We spoke via Zoom and she was able to clarify a lot of stuff about my application.
