Well, I have a meeting tomorrow with the international student admissions officer at the local community college. She said they will probably ask me to do tests beforehand to determine my level, especially as I have a Masters degree in biology! She seemed shocked I need to do any courses, but my degree was genetics, so limited in my anatomy and physiology. She said a visa should not be a problem, but wants to meet and go through everything now so we dont mess up the visa process. For my visa I HAVE to be registered for 12 credit hours a week, so will have to work that out.
Hopefully it will all be worth it. I also have to show I have $15 000 for the year, so am working out loans, although am currently selling my UK house (in Norwich if anyone is interested!!!) so if that goes through I will easily have the money!
Will keep you all up to date

OK, so I have done things a bit backwards! I am a UK citizen, so for visa purposes needed to apply for the DNP then apply for pre-reqs. Just got application into Case Western, now I am trying to sort out pre-reqs. The reason this is annoying is I have a BSc in Genetics, and as part of my course I studied microbiology, chemistry, anatomy, physiology etc, but because I graduated in 2002, I need to do them all again (Case requires your labs to have been in the past five years).
So, I have looked at the local community college, and it seems I have to do pre-reqs for my pre-reqs! Anyone had experience in this? Any ways around it?
Thanks!
