    Look into West Chester University in Pennsylvania. The list of pre-reqs is the smallest of any school in PA and they only require a 2.75 in the pre-reqs. Also, it says they want a 3.5 in your...

    Lefty Lou replied to mcolli02's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I thought part time students could get aid as well because I know people who have it, it just might not be through the school. I emailed her numerous times and she specifically said you need to be...

    Lefty Lou replied to mcolli02's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Did everyone get the email about being a full time or part time student? I had NO idea that we had to be full time to receive any type of aid from the school. This is an issue since the first summer...

    I received a letter in the mail yesterday. It said about paying the deposit, meeting with an advisor, and registering for classes. Im wondering if we really have to meet with an advisor since our...

    Lefty Lou replied to mcolli02's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Do we have to register for classes ourselves? Were all in the same class and its a predetermined thing I thought since they have the days and times already set up for us. I didnt even talk to WCU...

    Lefty Lou replied to mcolli02's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I received my official letter as well, but that packet they sent us isnt really useful. The only thing I got from it was that I need to pay a 200 deposit fee other then that it was basically

    Lefty Lou replied to mcolli02's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Its almost impossible to work during the summer session unless you do weekends. The schedule is class two times 9-3, then lab 9-2, then wed 8-11. So theres only one week day when yours completely free...

    Lefty Lou replied to mcolli02's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Lefty Lou replied to mcolli02's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Lefty Lou replied to mcolli02's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I guess thats not too bad - under 5,000 a semester for tuition. My undergrad degree was relatively cheap in my opinion and it was around 6,000 a semester just for tuition. Im going to try to commute,...
