Emory Pre-req Questions

[kattunge]

Hi there! I'm coming out of lurkdom again. :)

I got my acceptance letter to Emory over the holidays. I'm very excited about attending Fall 2006!

I have two pre-reqs left to complete and I'm a bit worried that I might be in a pickle. Here's the deal:

I've been re-taking some pre-reqs at Georgia Perimeter that were too old to qualify for the program. I retook A&P II last spring and Micro this past fall semester. For Emory, I need to take, according to their website, General Chemistry I and General Chemistry II (with an organic component). They had said at the open house that a nutrition class I had might qualify for the Chem II, but it looks like it didn't.

My first question to anyone who might know is: Does Survey of Chemistry II qualify for the "General Chemistry II (with an organic component)" requirement?

Supposing it does, I can register for Survey of Chemistry I at GPC for the spring semester. However, I don't think Survey of Chemistry II is offered in the summer at GPC, which leaves me in a bit of a bind. Anyone think they would let me take Chem I and II concurrently since I have 3 higher level sciences than Chem I and 3 higher level math classes than the pre-req for Chem I? Or, does anyone think I can take Survey of Chem I at GPC and then Survey of Chem II at GA State as a transient student in the summer? (The GPC and GA State Survey of Chem classes seem almost identical.)

Ok, enough rambling....just having a bit of a panic attack here. Thanks in advance for any advice/suggestions/etc.!

Yes! The store is for everybody. You don't have to join at all to buy items from them.

You guys make me feel unprepared... I'll be totally lost tomorrow.

They really wanted me to stay at my old job. 2002 I was number 1 in the region in performance, a year later number 3, and now they have consolidated all of the work to two centers and I'm pretty much number 1ish 2ish (out of about 200) so to have your best worker up and leave and have him have knowledge that most others don't possess is a big blow. He even offered a management position but I don't like the way they have to operate and with the hours they work they actually made less than us with overtime. Managment made about 60-65k and I was on track to make 72k w/ a base of 56k if I had decided to stay. It's not all about the money though. I was laid off before for two years (this is how i did my pre-reqs) with low seniority in a union represented job... I don't plan on getting laid off again especially with ATT/SBC/Bellsouth all merging. Besides, I plan on going to advanced practice (NP or CRNA) after two years.

I have a question:

Did all of you take out loans to pay for an education at Emory?

I am planning to begin my prereq's in Jan 07 at Kennesaw State to apply to their Nursing program, but notice such a HUGE difference in tuition costs. I mean, is it pretty normal to spend over $50,000 on a nursing education? Just curious, because I have heard great things about Emory and KSU's program, but cannot believe the difference in costs....

Anyone?!

you'll never know until you apply for financial aid. Some do, some don't... depends on gpa and need. If your family has cash, you probably will. If you have nothing at all and do the Neat program, you might get most of the money you need without loans.
