Hi, I was trying to find out the same info. Are you going to be attending the program? I was accepted into the program.

I have not applied yet but am seriously considering. How long did it take you to find out that you were accepted and when do you begin?

It took about a month for me to find out that I was accepted. Have you applied to any other schools?

No, I will finish my degree in May. I was also considering applying to Thomas Jefferson University. I have heard good things. Did you apply anywhere else? What made you choose Gwynedd? When do you start?

Yes, I applied to Drexel's 24 month program. I just sent them an updated transcript from the microbiology class that I took at CCP. Also, I applied to Lasalle, but they do not make decisions until March. I need to continue to work full time, so I only applied to those 2 programs. I actually like the fact that in the summer at Gwynedd it is all online and the fact that it is only on the weekend works for me. I wish that the program was shorter though. One person from the prerequisites that I took just got accepted into the 24 month program at Jefferson.

Ok. I am in the same boat...I need to work and liked the evening/weekend or weekend programs. I also have 3 children so I am leery that this may be too much but I figure it is only for a year or two or three...if I would go with Gwynedd. No, I haven't applied to any quite yet. I am still finishing my bachelors and will be done soon but I have decided to switch career choices. I agree that I wish that the Gwynedd one was shorter as well, that is my reason for leaning toward TJU or looking into Drexel more. Is the LaSalle program evenings or weekends only, do you know? Did you have a preference over Gwynedd and Drexel. I just discovered the Drexel Program a couple days ago and haven't done much research.

I am switching careers too. I am currently a 6th grade teacher. I will be finished all of my prerequisites in the end of April. Yes, Lasalle has an evening/weekend program called the Achieve program. You have to take a test called the NLN as part of the requirement to get in. I took it last year. Also, the program is about 2 and 1/2 years long which is almost as long as Gwynedd. As far as my preference, I like the fact that Drexel is only 24months exactly. However, I am leaning towards Gwynedd because I like being home during the week with my kids, and being able to have somewhat of a summer since their courses in the summer are online. That really works for me since I am off in the summer. I guess the final decision will be made once I hear back from Lasalle and Drexel.
