Has anyone applied to Pace University's combined degree program in Westchester for this coming Spring? I just applied and I am anxiously awaiting my acceptance or rejection notice. I haven't taken the GRE yet (will do in August).
If anyone feels comfortable sharing their GRE scores or GPA, and whether or not they were accepted, I would be really appreciative.
Also, maybe if I get accepted, we could start getting to know each other before the semester starts.
I got mine from Scrubs and Beyond. They have a store up in Monroe, right next to Woodbury Commons but they also have a website. www.scrubsandbeyond.com...I got the Landau ones that were 39.99..so comfortable!
I hope Thursday is nice too...I need to do all that stuff as well.
I rarely use Facebook (haven't made a group since FB first came out back in college), but I just started up a group for CDP 2010 Westchester students, feel free to join
Just wondering if i'm missing any correspondence from pace as the last thing i got was a packet with health clearance forms and class registration. But it doesn't have our actual class schedule. Just a general registration form? I'm looking to see what our actual schedule and day to day classes look like. When i sign into blackboard the only class i'm enrolled in is nurs 408. Anyone else have anything different?
As long as you mailed back the registration form, they're supposed to auto-enroll into courses -- I called them because it was taking forever and they did it an hour after I called -- log onto the Pace Portal to see your actual schedule -- mine looks like W, Thu, Friday classes and then Clinics will switch midway through the semester to Tuesdays (or something like that)
I'm sure everything will be clearer on Thursday, private schools always have a way of being completely disorganized about everything but they make it work somehow
Thanks veggie beast..just took a peak at our class schedule..
However, i still don't have access to the clinical calculation documents in preparation for the exam thursday. If anyone could email them to me i'd greatly appreciate it. I'm nervous and excited all at the same time haha.
For those of you who are in Pace (Westchester) Accelerated BSN program. What do you think of it so far? how is the quality of education, professors? anything else you would like to share.
I'm in the program now. It's hard to get in to, yes. Every single person in the program has pretty amazing credentials -- many have Ivy League degrees. Everyone is very smart. I would recommend it. The teachers are really good, I think. Naturally, there are some complaints here and there, but that's impossible to avoid. Generally speaking, I feel it is a solid education.
I'm in the 2-year program which is hard... but the 1-year program is a really REALLY difficult workload. AND one thing they don't really make clear is that if your GPA falls below a 3.0, you're kicked out of the program altogether. The grading is really difficult. Like, an 83 is a B- and a B- is a 2.7, not a 3.0. An 84 is a B. So you have to have 84's in everything to have a 3.0.
Let me know if you have specific questions. I'd be glad to answer them if you have specific concerns. I'd recommend the program, though.
I too would recommend the program. I am in the one year and while the workload is tough it is doable. For example the summer semester starts next week and since it is summer the semester is 12 weeks instead of the usual 15 weeks, but they still have to get 15 weeks worth of info in. So I am in lecture on Tuesday and Thursday from 8am to 6:20 Tuesday and 8am to 7:30 Thursday. Clinicals are Monday, Wednesday and Friday 7 to 5. Half the summer is Monday and the other half Friday. So each week I have one day off during the week to study. The program is not perfect, they do seem a bit disorganized at times and we had a pretty poor professor for one class, but overall I am liking the program and feel that I am learning a lot.

I actually just finished all the problems and I thought the same thing. It was a breeze. See you Thursday!
