So I finally heard from GW and got in!!! Trying to finance the program is kind of complicated they said you need to find an outside loaner ... has anyone started this process besides filing fasfa or found hospitals that offer scholarships for gw students?

nvm i was looking at residential prices .... i know marymounts passing rates for the nursing exam are very good I also wish gw had some rates to compare but since its so new its hard to tell which has the better program. So as of now GW has the name but Marymount has the passing rates.

I thought GW is cheaper it says its about $44,000 for the 15 months and Marymount is two years and $40,000 a year. I'm sure some people will set up carpools to the campus.

I live in DC right now as well and I am actually going to move closer to the campus if I have to because without traffic its a half hour drive. As for as clinicals go majority are in VA when I talked to a counselor.

I just called today and they said they are still going through all the applications, but I should hear soon ... I went to GW for my Masters degree in criminal justice and I love the school and the teachers there so I can only assume the nursing school can be just as great. As for as passing rates go this program is brand new I believe the fall 2010 class is the first to go into the second degree program so there are no passing rates to compare yet since they have not even finished the program yet. I know the first class only 40 were admitted and I believe the upcoming program is admitting 70ish? So the fact they are taking on almost double can only say good things. Good luck and congratulations!!

Hey everyone, I have been applying to schools within the DC area and gotten into Marymount University for their second degree program for Fall 2011. I am still waiting to hear from GW and their decision for Fall 2011, since it is my top choice school. Has anyone who applied to GW heard yet? I thought on the website it said rolling admissions. Thanks, KTG 2122
