Is anyone in the Drexel Ace Program from out of state? I've been wanting to know if they charge an out-of-state fee in addition to tuition cost for the ACE program. Please advise! Thanks!

hi lisa, when did you receive your acceptance package? i haven't gotten any mail from drexel at all and i already submitted my deposit. anyway, i was just curious... does anybody know how many people applied to drexel's ace program this fall and how many actually got in? thanks.

I was accepted into the Drexel ACE program and very excited to begin. I'm not from the Pennsylvania area and am not too familiar with the schools there but I was wondering if someone can give me an idea of what Drexel's reputation is like? Thanks.

Hi everyone... I'm so glad to have found this forum. I hope to get some advice on this dilemna that I've been dealing with lately. I want to be a nurse but I feel like it is almost impossible for me to achieve this dream. After reading so many posts, I am not very hopeful of getting accepted in many programs. Here's the thing: I was accepted into an accelerated BSN program that will begin in Fall of 2007. There are a few drawbacks about attending this particular program. One is that it is out of state so I would have to move across the country. Also, I would almost have to take a $50,000 loan out for tuition and living expenses. Another reason is that I am afraid of how intense the program will be. I heard there was a 40% dropout rate at this particular program. This was one of the two schools I applied to so far and I am so happy to have been accepted but after considering factors such as these, I decided to apply to some local programs. However, from what I hear I don't have a good feeling about getting accepted into any schools here since it seems like the schools in my city are much more competitive. (I know people with 4.0 GPA's that were denied a spot in the programs). I don't have a very good GPA and so far I got rejected to one local school I applied to. So what should I do? I have very little confidence that I will be accepted into a school here but I will continue to try anyway. The only drawback with attending school here is that it will take me 2 full years instead of 1 year (for the accelerated program). BUT... if I do get into a program here I would probably not graduate with as much debt as I would if I go to the accelerated program. So... what would you do if you were me? There are pros and cons with both. I've wasted too much time not living my dream which is to be a nurse already and sometimes I think that I should just focus on just attending the accelerated program but is it worth taking out the big loan?! What should I do? I'm sorry for the long rambling post. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
