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!

That's a huge relief!! I am transferring Spch,math,eng,micro,physio,anat, soc, and psy. I was thinking they might reject me because they wouldn't be making as much money off me compared to someone who doesn't have GEs done. How long after you applied did you receive the letter in the mail about your units being accepted?

It took a few weeks..I think 2-3 wks after I applied I got that letter. They're gonna go over everything and then send u letter saying if it was accepted or not.

Hi! I am beginning the program in Sept. (20 months) since I have all the prereqs. My initial letter said my grad date was Sept but it is May. I am super excited and nervous about managing everything (work, kids,life) but I am sure it will be fine. As far as acceptance, it is more competitive than I imagined. I have a bachelor's and initially did not get 90s on my test but was urged to retake and got both in the 90s thankfully (math and reading)as writing isn't factored. That got me early acceptance. High 80s I was told should get you in, especially if you have experience and a degree or if you are a Kaplan grad. Anyway, hope that helps! Hope you guys find out soon!

Hello, I just took Ktp last June and I am so nervous. From what I am hearing, there is a very low chance of me getting in because sadly I did not score very competitively as the others who scored high 90's. I haven't even heard from my admin Rep if any of my credits have been transferred since I did the enrollment processed almost a month ago. Would that be another indication that I may not get in? Because from what I have been reading on this thread the ones who took their KTP got an email or mail about transfer credits two weeks after they have taken their KTP.

I am on the same both as unrealstylez. I have done most of the GEs so I guess I might get rejected too? I took my Ktp beginning of June and did the enrollment process the week after but I haven't heard from them yet if any of my credit have been transferred.

Did you already get the acceptance letter? I was told no one knows if they get accepted until the after the deadline closes for the fall start. So the rep told me July 27th. Consider me officially confused.

She got in via early acceptance because she scored in the 90s on her KTP

Does anyone remember what your rep said about working and going to school? I can't be 100% but I think mine told me that my schedule had to be cleared between 7a-7pm for them to place me in classes/clinical. Are you planning on working full or part time during school?

I think mine told me to be free between 7am-8pm because class could be at anytime. but I do plan to work I can't afford not to. I'm looking for a nocshift right now and I'm starting home health too.

Would any of you happen to know how being an alternate works? Like how long do you attend class?
