Drexel Fall 2012 Students

Published

Hey everyone,

I thought it'd be cool to start a thread for those students who have been accepted to Drexel's Fall 2012 program so we can get to know each other. I'm still contemplating if I am going, but it's looking pretty likely.

So for me, I am 23 and graduate from WCU with a BS in Public Health. I have a little boy who will be 5 once I start the program. So yeah, life will be just peachy the next 11 months :-)

So if anyone is coming from the Chester County area, what's the best way of getting to Drexel? I was thinking the train but I have no clue. I need help lol.

Congratulations! I was just accepted myself but I don't think I'll be going. It's the best program I've been accepted to but I'm having our second boy in May and I'd like to stick with DCCC's evening/weekend program so I can have days with my boys.

What part of Chester County are you coming from? I'm on the border of Chester County and Delco and used to live in West Philly so I'm very familiar with the area.

Hello!!!

I have also been accepted to Drexel's ACE program! I am 21 and I currently go to WCU, so I live in the Chester County Area! I will be graduating in May. I have also been accepted to Jefferson's FACT program and I have no idea how I am going to choose!

Hi!

Just wondering how you heard about your acceptance into the ACE Program? Was it recently and by email? I have been accepted into Jefferson but wanted to gauge when I would know about Drexel. Thanks!

Congrats on you getting accepted. How long did it take before you received notification that you were accepted to the nursing program?

it took me about a month and a half to hear back from Drexel about my acceptance! I applied late January and heard back a few days ago. I got an email with the subject of "Your Admissions Decision" - then you need to log onto their site. They said an official letter will be coming in a few days in the mail

Hello All-

Congratulations on your acceptance into the ACE program. I am interested in applying for the 2013 cycle.

I have 3 pre-reqs to catch up on: Human G & D, ethics & the comm/pub speaking/comp sci elective. I am taking the CLEP for the Human Growth & Devl't, and am searching for the most affordable option for the following two courses. Has anyone had any experience testing out of ethics or comm/public speaking/comp science? I spoke to the admissions director, and he said they do accept the clep credits. However, he said the DSST exam "Ethics in America" was too specific, and I needed to find an exam that covered a general "Ethics" course.

Also, I have my CNA license in NJ. I plan on working part-time as a CNA this summer as well as waitress. What, if any, medical experience did you have prior to applying? (If you don't mind sharing!)

Thanks, and good luck in the fall!

Hi everyone! I have been accepted for the Fall 2012 quarter as well. Started the housing hunt, but nothing too concrete yet. I'm stuck on whether to ante up for the ceter city apt, or to lower my costs and live out in manyunk or univeristy city/west philly. Anyone have any advice??

I had to test out of A&P I and II which wasn't difficult. I haven't seen anything about testing out options for ethics courses. Prior to the program I've been a PCA in the OR at St. Luke's University Hosptial for 4 years and St. Luke's Anderson Hosptial since it opened in October.
