   Hi, LawyerRN2b, In the cost of the program you have to consider the earning differential of having a master's as well as the lost year of income from waiting another year before you can work in the field. Only you know whether it is worth driving t...

   Hi vcu2017, I did not apply anywhere else. I'm an older student, local in Fairfax with 3 kids, actually just down the road from GMU so it was the program that made the most sense for me. (Plan B is not as attractive.) As for GMU, the pluses that I sa...

   I'm guessing everyon has received their college transfer acceptance by now. If you haven't it might indicate a snafu with your college transfer application (as happened with a friend of mine) so follow up if you haven't heard from GMU on this.

   Hi TaxRN, Thanks for taking the time to encourage us during this nerve-wracking waiting period. What is your day to day schedule like in the program? Full class days? full clinics? what will this summer look like for you--any time off at all? I'm r...

    It looks as though from posts in last year's forum the emails went out on March 23. That's not so long to wait! I'm so in the weeds with my last three prereq courses that it should fly by. Plus I have to get my taxes done early so my kid can finis...

    I have 3 more prereqs (dev psych, stat, micro) to do this spring, too, and that is probably the weak point of my application as well. At the info session, that is was the admissions person said, but most applicants have an area they would prefer to ...
