Drexel University-ACE Program Fall '09

Published

Hi,

I will be attending Drexel University's ACE program in the Fall of 2009. I just wanted to see if anyone else on here is in that class...and the kind of information they have on financial aid for this program and how they are preparing for the fall.

Thanks!

Congrats!

I guess something to think about is how condensed you want the program to be. They do not throw anything it out it seems. I have so much "BS" work for my BSN that I rarely have time to study - lots of busy work that does not get included in your grade.

In the second semester, the one I'm ending now, I have 16 hours of class and 21 hours of clinical, then add lots of studying and homework. There are no reading days for exams. They pump you out like a factory, if you make it through.

I guess I just feel like I'm shoving lots of stuff in my head, cramming all the time for exams - often without a chance to study. Oh well, what do I expect from an 11-month program?

Good luck with your decision!

DREXEL SUCKS! I just got a letter stating they denied me even though my application hasn't even been completed! What a sorry joke of a school. There is a lady that has been personally helping me and even told me that it takes 4-6 weeks for results (I got them in 2)--and honestly, if they have no clue how to run their own admissions process, what else do they not know? HAHAAA!!

Specializes in None- This too, will change!.

TCM1- Sorry to hear of your status...But, why did you apply if you believe Drexel to be a sorry joke? Would you still feel the same if you were accepted?

Pyd, I sent in my app a loooong time ago, like in October! They had problems figuring out that one of my schools changed its name over the years and they finally resolved that late last month. The letter was dated Mar. 5, so I hope you got your admissions by now!

Hey guys, I too will be starting the ACE program in September...very excited!

Does anyone know how much the whole year is going to cost??

Also, how many people are in a class??

Congrats Jay...see you in the fall!

I am not totally sure about the cost but from what I gather it is going to run us about 32000 in tuition and fees and then another 20-25K in housing, books, and other living expenses. :bluecry1: Scary but I figure it will cost me around the same in the end even if I go to a cheaper school that takes twice as long to finish.

And i have no clue how many people are in a class...anyone?

The current tuition posted is about $34K. I'm unclear as to whether that covers mandatory college fees but I *believe* it does. I was told we should be getting financial aid information later this month.

Best of luck elsewhere.. I only had a positive experience with admissions and have heard positive things from others as well. I'm sure you will find a 'better' school with your optimistic and friendly personality.
