Hey Tina! You make a valid point about cheaper rent. Have you looked in the area for cheaper rent farther away? Where are you from? I would consider it but I did look at places right by Drexel campus in Center city. The parking is $$$$ but classes start at 8 and I am not a morning person by any means. I'd like to roll out of bed and walk to class and avoid transportation. I was talking to a PA student and she said she is in the library all night so its best to stay in the area. Anyway I'd love to hear from you! Congrats as well! -Jenna

Hey Jenn! haha I guess there are lots of jenn's hah-- CONGRATS ON GETTING IN!! You sound psyched! We are both so passionate about this program!! I cannot wait! I would LOVE to meet up with everyone or chat before we begin the program. As I had mentioned on another post I am looking for a roomate to share a studio or one bedroom apartment in Philly! =D How exciting!! I want to share interests and see if we are a match! Let me know if anyone is interested - I am from NY right now and just visited Drexel for the first time. =D

Hey everyone! I am all set for the Spring 2010 semester! I am from Long Island, NY and just had my first visit to Philly! What a beautiful city!!! I talked to a current student and they said that YOU NEED A CAR- for clinicals and to live out of stiles dorms (which is the graduate building). I visited a bunch of apartment complexes and would LOVE a roomate! I am trying to get names of people from the program to see who else is in need of a roomate, but maybe if I post on here I can talk to you personally! I am SO excited about starting this program with you all! Is it true it is only 80 of us?! I would love to meet up somewhere before we even start the program.. Its going to be a fun journey together! I look forward to hearing from everyone!!! =D

Hi August, Thanks so much for the information! It all sounds so exciting.. My ultimate goal is to become a Nurse Practitioner.. I'd like to jump into it right away. You are right though, I always get ahead of my self and need to concentrate what is at hand here. Can you offer us any tips for surviving the ACE program? I see alot of people say its extremely difficult- I am soo passionate about this and CANNOT wait to start the program. I think I have enough drive to succeed. I'd love to hear how you are doing any everything! You are almost done- Congrats! Hi Princess, I applied after the deadline. I think I found out in a month. Pretty quick! Hopefully you won't have to take any pre-reqs because there is not much time between now and Spring Semester! I had a 3.6 overall GPA and ok pre-req grades. I had a great rec letter also. I am sure if they think you are cut out for the program, you will be accepted! Where are you from and when did you apply? Good to hear from you! -Jenna

Jenna! haha how funny.. I was reading your post and i was thinking, I dont remember writing that! I cannot wait to check out the city! Where do you live about? I have never been to philadelphia- I am so excited to see what the city has to offer! Is the school is a relatively good area? Very nice to meet you! =)

Hi August Rain, Thank you! My admissions letter did not have any class information on it. It just said that they will be contacting me regarding pre-requisites. I called today but didn't get a response back. Good idea about the winter semester. You are currently enrolled in the program now, right? Can you explain to me exactly what the early assurance program is? I see it is basically offered in your 3rd quarter and is for exceptional students only. How many students are accepted into these programs and when do you start? Look forward to speaking with you!

Thanks for all your information! Atleast one of us knows what's going on! haha- I really want to become a Nurse Practitioner and be more independent and in control like a doctor. I love thinking about that! I was planning on applying all over the place for accelerated nursing programs, but now since I got into this program everything is changing! I applied to College of New Rochelle but they aren't going to let me know until the week of Oct 26th, which will be too late to decide between the two schools. That's alittle frustrating.. I am not sure what to do! Is Drexel considered a good school in PA? I honestly don't even know much about it.. I figured I'd ask since you live in the area. I was just so desperate to get into a program I decided where ever I get in- I will go!! A new adventure! Anyway, tell me more about you. What is your background with nursing? Thanks for answering my posts! =D

Hi CoCoBelly, Thanks for writing back! I know i am stressing about the pre-reqs because I have already started my fall semester here on Long Island. I am currently taking Developmental Psych and Statistics.. I am now thinking I should get into an Ethics class of some sort. I have all the major core classes like AnP I and II. I wish they would just answer my calls ! i am so frustrated because I want to start in the Spring!! By the way, where are you from? I've read so many posts on here but can't remember if you said or not.. The program starts March 30- right? Any idea what the quarters are broken into and when we have time off? (sorry so many questions) Oh yeah- I don't know if you'd know this but.. Is there direct entry if we are accepted into this program--> the nurse practitioner program? Hope to talk with you soon!

Hey Everbody! I am in the Spring 2010 program as well! I received my provisional letter a few days ago and wondered how I am going to take the pre-reqs they need. The Fall semester has already started and i am waiting on which classes I need. What grades are needed to be fully accepted into the program? I am alittle confused if I am concretely in the program or it all depends on whether or not I get an A in all the required stuff.. Anyways- I am SUPER excitedddd!! Can't wait to move to philly and meet you all! =D -Jenna

Hey vundernurse, I was reading about your free tops for the program. If you still have them I'd love to take them off your hands.. I was just accepted into the 2010 spring program and am SO excited! Look forward to hearing from you!
