hey, glad to hear the good news. do you mind charing your gpa. i am currently applying for the evening program but afraid my gpa may be too weak. did you have to write an admissions essay?

Their GPA requirement is a 3.0 or better which mine was above the minimum. However, I get the sense that they are a bit more lenient than some other schools meaning they will consider your prerequisite GPA if you're borderline below the minimum. There is no essay requirement but they do ask for a few more prerequisites than the other area schools. GOOD LUCK!

thanks for the reply. so what is tuition going to cost you? do you qualify for financial aid? I guess I will double your price tag for my two year program.

No financial aid for 2nd BA/BS just loans. I also think the 2yr is approximately the same price as the 1yr accelerated program. Not sure exactly how much it will cost
