Hi all! So.....I went to an Open House today at Helene Fuld College of Nursing in Manhattan and was REALLY shocked to hear that in addition to 3 separate Entrance exams, a pre-req course entitled: "Selected Topics in Chemistry & Mathematics (SCI101) is required BEFORE acceptance to the school. I was confused as to WHY must a prospective student pay $246/credit not including the $248 book needed (OUT OF POCKET)?? I was then told, that the course wouldn't be covered by financial aid since the prospective student hasn't matriculated yet. Additionally, the 10 week course IS NOT GRADED, its based on pass/fail.... HUH? LOL *COMMENTS PLEASE!
Does this sound normal to you, or does it sound like a scam???
