Kaplan college in San Diego RN program

Published

Hi, I will be starting the RN program with Kaplan as soon as we relocate. My husband's in the Military so the wait lists at other colleges turned me away from them.

Do any of you go to Kaplan? If so, how did it work out for the student loans and stuff , I am confused. It seems as if tuition is around 45000 for the couple years of the program. I am eligible for the pell grant and the military grant of 3000 per year. But would the loans be able to cover everything else since it's a vocational school more than a traditional college? Thanks!

Emilynn09,

Best of luck, girl! Let us know if you get in. :) I know the waiting sucks.

thank you! :yeah: i know the wait does suck, especially since it's not even June yet! :( i'm still confused about the whole background check though, apparently I'm supposed to do that before the drug test....but shouldn't i do all that if and when i find out i'm in the program? they told me to do my drug test after July 15th but I don't find out if I'm in until July 27th...doesn't make sense to me I guess..

Is it too late for me to apply for the September start date? No calls have been returned to me and i'm FREAKING OUT!! Ok that was a bit melodramatic but I really do want to know if I'm late. Thanks!

the website will let you know when the cut-offs are. You shouldn't be too late. I turned my application in the first week of December and started in January. We just started a new semester so the administration may be a little busy right now. Just keep calling...maybe ask for --------? She's amazing

No you aren't too late the packet is due no later than July 27th (or around that date, don't quote me on that, I'm not so sure) I suggest you get everything done as soon as you can there are a lot of applicants and you need to do your background check and wait a certain amount of weeks to do a drug screen afterwards. Good luck! :)

Yeah, I think I had to do that too. Before I found out I was accepted. Kind of makes sense, why waste space accepting someone if their urine screen doesn't pass?

I also suggest just going in person. You may have to wait a while, but you will probably be seen sooner or later.

Ok, I'm new to posting, but I've been reading a lot of the comments left on here. Question for those of you who have been accepted to the RN program....Do you know what the "average" accepted score of the KTP was? I took my KTP and did ok, but not what I thought I would do. 86% in both Math and Reading. I don't know how this compares and my rep is on vacay (which means I go crazy in the mean time!) hahaha Thanks so much for any help!

I got an 89% on the Math and 100% on the reading. I heard our cohort (January) had really high scores. I also heard the caliber of students applying to the program is getting CRAZY. Your scores seem good enough to get in though. I wouldn't worry.

Well, I'm hoping my GPA for pre-reqs, and being a prior Kaplan grad help out! Haha.
