Honestly, I do not know anything about the program in Westchester. I do know that some of the professors from the new york program (maybe all of them) teach there. You should speak to people who are in the program in westchester for the fall and the spring and see what they say. All I could say is that the one in new york is horrible. Before I went, I did not hear anything horrible regarding the program. However, since they redid the curriculum it became horrible. Those students that were in the second year of the 2 year program said that this past fall was their worst semester. The school knows that the new curriculum is not the best and there are things wrong with it. At the end of the semester the dean meet with a couple of students since she said she knows that things went wrong. Instead of helping us they got suggestion from the students' perspective regarding what to do in the future to improve the program. Maybe they do make changes and the fall semester was just an experment. Good luck!

Hey waz up. I attended pace this past fall. The program in new york is awful. After the first semester 35 students were dismissed. Actually, about 60-70% of the program failed. However, during finals, the school made the tests that everyone did horrible on worth less and some work that was open book, unlimited time, and the computer gave us the answers for, was worth more. This way the did not lose almost all their students. You may think this won't happen to you but you never know. I came in with a gpa of 3.8 and my gpa now is nothing near that at all. This past fall they redid the curriculum and it failed they even admitted it but they refused to do anything about it. They said i quote the dean " whats in the past is in the past and we can not go back and change it". The average of our test in some classes were a 68 or low to mid 70's and a passing is a 77. We all asked for help and the school never helped us. They said study and read the books again and again. Almost, all the students that are in the program hate it. I advise you chose your school wisely since you may get stuck. Keep in mind that if you fail even one class, pace does not let you retake it they throw you out. They do not help you in any way and you are on your own. Only one professor wanted us to pass, the rest did not care. This one professor still did not help that much she arrange a little toturing, but it was not enough for whoever needed. Do not waste your money. By goin to pace you may waste a lot. I suggest to even spend more and go to nyu they have a better passing rate and the students are happy.

Hey waz up. I see that you are applying to nursing schools. I went through that and I still am I know how hard it is. Regarding Pace, I do not have anything good to say about it. I was also dissmissed from the program after my first semester. I know you must think that the people who failed will have nothing good to say regarding the program. I gaurantee you that even those who made it through the first semester hate it. I am a good student. I graduated top in my class in high school and received the scholarship from the depatment of education. I took all my preq and got a BA in psych and my gpa was 3.79. I applied to pace last minute the day of the deadline and I was accepted in the one year program. I was really excited. I attended pace for fall semester. It was awful (this is not an overstatment). A total of 35 students were dissmissed after the first semester. In addition, a few students were sent to the other branch to the 4 yr program. Additionally, another few who got below 3.0 and below a 2.9 probation gpa were reaccepted since they lost too many students. The school lies the dean said only one student was reaccepted I know 100% there was 2 and there may be more. She also warned my friend before finals that if she gets below a 2.9 she will be dissmissed and won't be reaccepted. My friend could have passed the program if the dean did not tell her this. She could have studied only for the class she was failing and pass the course and the program with a gpa below 2.9. They went against their handbook and that is wrong. Their professors are horrible. There was only one normal professor. The fundamentals course the average of the tests for the class was high 60's or low to mid 70's and 77 is a pass. About 50% or even more of the program were failing. Therefore, during the last week of finals they made the exam that everyone did horrible on be worth only 5% and some work we did for the course where everyone got a 100 on since they give you the answers was worth more. This way they did not lose about 60% of their program. However, they did this last minute therefore the entire semester everyone was panicking. Additionally, we had so many finals at the same time. We asked them to put some finals on a different day. The dean refused. Four days before the fundamental final (the class that everyone was failing) the dean pushed the final up an entire a week. They posted it on blackboard under that course. Many students did not see it since that final was a week later. I found out 2 days before. The whole weekend I studied for a diff final. I had two days to study for 3 tests very hard ones and one was from the beg of the semester. One student found out the change the night before. Additonally, regarding the patho class they had very little totuoring. When I asked the professor for help she said ask the toturs. They had not time. I sat for four days straight (honestly) I did not move I had food with me and i studied all morning day and night. I just passed that course. If you do go to pace I suggest to do the two year program and do not work you need the time to study. Additonally, forget about checking out the city once you are in pace thats your life, your social life and parties end as soon as you start pace. Do all your readings. Even if you don't have a test do not hang out with your friends do your readings. I went through it I know what it is and I spoke to classmates who did the two year and one guy said he didn't speak to his friends or hang out with them for two years and he just passed the program. My friend who is still in pace and is extremely smart told me last night that she got a 62 on her first test and the passing is a 77. Whatever you decide to do good luck you'll need it.
