Drexel ACE Program (Fall 2021)

Does anyone know if Drexel still requires the HESI as well as getting a score of 950?! I’ve been reading about that and I’m worried

Yeah I'm only eligible for like 10k in federal loans since I used quite a bit for my first bachelors, so I'll have to go private for most of it. is anyone else a bit anxious about going into 60k+ (plus living expenses) in debt from this program?? Definitely had trouble sleeping last night thinking about all that debt weighing over me..

I’m shared a similar situation didn’t received a generous federal loan. But Drexel tuition and living expenses  is cheaper compared to the other four nursing program I got accepted in NYC.

im also in the same situation with private loans as my family can’t help me out and I am only able to save enough money for living expenses. As someone else mentioned the cost of the program as well as rent in philly is much cheaper than schools I looked at in NYC or Boston. Also, many many people have student debt and large debt at that. If you make your monthly payments on time and then some when you are financially able to make bigger payments, your student loan debt does not own you. 

My financial aid is blank. Did you have to submit something extra to receive a package? I submitted my deposit in November 14th.

I decided to defer Spring  Semester to save more funds for living expenses. There are several options to repay federal students loans. But not sure about repayment options for private loans.

I submitted my FAFSA application a few weeks ago, still haven't heard back though from that..

Hi!

Whew I  am late to this thread haha but I was admitted back in November!  Waiting to put down deposit, but think I will need to since I won't hear back from my other top school until March. Does anyone know if the 60 day deadline is strict? I don't want to lose my spot as Drexel is one of my top choices; only reason I would go to other school is because of in state tuition which is hard to pass up.

Anyways I am really excited and would love to get to know people for Fall 2021! Anyone else coming straight out of undergrad?

I would say your best bet is to email them to ask about a deadline extension. I know from previous threads about other programs that many programs do give deadline extensions if asked but not sure about Drexel specifically.

I am coming straight out of undergrad! Graduating in May of 2021. Debating between which program I want to go to, Jefferson or Drexel. Still waiting to hear back from UPenn.

I believe its 60 days after acceptance. 

I know its super early, but is anyone getting their information into Drexel yet such as bloodwork/titers/immunizations etc? 

What happens after you submit your deposit? Are things do right away? When do we have to submit health information like vaccines, drug test, and etc?

Hey everyone. So there is a possibility that I have to retake Microbiology or take an additional Biology lab to fulfill the 4-credit Microbiology w/ Lab. The Microbiology w/ Lab I took was 3-credits. I do want to take the course at a community college, but I came across Portage Learning, which is more affordable than cc. I would like to know if anyone took courses at Portage Learning. If so, how was your experience and did Drexel accept courses taken here?
