To Bree, Thank you for your thoughts. I am glad I picked UMDNJ and yes it is about half of Fairleigh (UMDNJ 31,000.00 and Fairleigh 56,000). The question regarding no C's was brought up by several students during orientation and although C is not an automatic failure, if continously repeated and improvement is not shown one can find themselves at the Dean's office, it didnt appear as though they wanted to answer that question with a simple yes or no. So to avoid all that confusion I am going to study hard and smart to maintain A's and B's and nothing lower than C+. I will be starting on the 8th as am sure you will be as well, so good luck to the both of us!

Hi all, I have been accepted to UMDNJ 15 month accelerated and Fairleigh 2 year part time accelerated for the fall 2009, but I seem to be having a hard time deciding between the two. UMDNJ has been my first choice all along, but I am worried about the fast paced program and the pressure that no C's are allowed while enrolled. I was told that you will be placed on probabtion if you obtain a C, then if repeated you are dropped out of the program. I have always been an A student with a few B's here and there... should i be worried? 1) Is it really that hard to maintain an A average at UMDNJ? 2) Which school has the better reputation? 3) Do you think it will affect my performance at UMDNJ if I continued to work (on a part time basis of course)? I would greatly appreciate your thoughts, suggestions, experiences etc. Thank you in advance!
