Drexel University ACE Spring 2010

Jen2Sul · Jul 19, 2009

I am provisionally accepted for sping 2010 too! I still have to finish A & P II, Chemistry, and Ethics. Have you girls taken Ethics yet? Oof all the science classes and labls, ethics is by far the worst. How did you girls get through it?

Hi,

I'm currently taking Bioethics at Excelsior College, which is what Drexel recommended to me.

It's a distance learning class. At first, the content really intimidated me! I've been reading more, and

it's getting better. But I still have to take the test to pass it of course. I'll let you know how it goes.

I'm taking Ethics in the fall, along with Nutrition, Statistics, and Developmental Psych. Seems like it might be a tough semester.

On your acceptance letters, did the term say "Spring 09-10"? mine say that but i think it should say "Spring 10-11" right?

Hi all,

I received my provisional acceptance letter to Drexel yesterday. I haven't decided which program I will attend. This is the first program I applied to and was accepted to. I applied to Villanova, and am waiting to apply to Jefferson and UPenn. How did you decide on Drexel?

thanks!

Hi CocoBelly...CONGRATS on your acceptance!:yeah:I'm really glad to know they finally accepted you.

My letter sais 09-10 also, I was confused about that too but at this point I'm not worrying about it, I'll find out later. I've been so busy lately, I'm taking 2 classes (Dev. Psych. and Eng102) at the same time in Summer II semester, non of them is my favorite either. I was never good at writing essays so this is really hard for me. On top of that I'm working full time still and I'm relly feeling the pressure right now...I got an A in Stats but this won't be as easy...I wish I pass, that's all I'm asking for:bowingpur:bugeyes:. Once this is over with I'll have to straighten up my immunizations...I don't have a record for everything so I know I'll have a headache...

It's because the Drexel school year goes from Sept (2009)-Sept (2010)...so if you're starting in March 2010, it's still considered part of the 2009-2010 academic year.

Hi all!~ congratulations on your acceptance. I recently applied for the spring 2010 semester and I just spoke with Tina yesterday in regards to the status of my application. She says that its in review..I'm so worried and feeling anxious and discouraged. I just had my summer 1 grades sent over to help with the decision making process. I graduated with a 3.4 but the grades from my first college weren't very good. How long did it take you guys to hear back?

Hanool,

The waiting period is the worst. But, I think you should find out soon. I actually applied at the end of June and heard 2 days ago. So, hopefully you will hear relatively quickly as well! I know that my application wasn't reviewed until they received the transcript from the school where I was taking prerequisite courses because I listed I had attended two universities (the one where I got my BS and the one where I am taking classes now). Good luck!!

Are you applying anywhere else? I am very torn. I am so excited to have been accepted (provisionally), but I am a little freaked out that I need to let them know within 60 days whether I will be attending. I was planning on still applying to other schools. I really need to go have a tour of Drexel to learn more about the program.

Hi blondiemcd24~

Thanks for the words of encouragement :) Seriously, the waiting period is the absolute worst!! i've been buggen out because it seems like SO MANY people are applying to nursing schools and there's such limited spots, and financing a 2nd degree is another LOOONNNGGG, stressful story right there ^^

Yeah, I hear that Drexel requires a $500 deposit; I went to their open house last month, and i believe that most of your time will be spent doing clinicals all over the delaware area. They were really emphasizing that you needed a car. I'm also applying to Jefferson and West Chester. What about you?

blondiemcd24 · Jul 22, 2009

Hi Hanool,

I was wondering about the car situation. I am going to need to buy a car I guess... I am a little concerned about financing school as well! I applied as a commuter student because I am tired of dorm style housing. Would you be living on campus?

Do you know how big the admitted class is?

I applied to Villanova and am planning on applying to Thomas Jefferson. I was also thinking of applying to UPenn and NYU, although I am hearing a lot of negative feedback about NYU -- and it's really expensive.

Hanool · Jul 23, 2009

Im not sure on how big the admitted class is for Drexel. I think jefferson admits approx 100 students though. In regards to the car situation, if you dont want to commit to buying a car, im sure there will be ways to car pool with other students. I am also commuting from home. The directors at drexel also advised that there is no advantage of Living on campus. I hear upenn has an awesome program, hows villanova's? I should look into that. Whats your first choice school?
