wow thanks! very detailed and informative. I've taken 2 clinicals before, but knew they wouldnt transfer, so it wasn't that big of a deal. ive finished all those, A&P's, micro, nutrition, logic, and diversity has to be taken at shadyside, so no biggie. But I figure that wil cut my cost a little, maybe in half? who knows. Wow...doubling due to the economy? them and everyone else! thanks so much for your responses. i've been freaking out the last 2 days because i thought you had to write them a check for like 10 grand, which my husband and i dont have just lying around! i'm fortunate enough that i can just do school and he works, however i do have a part time position at Presby. They'll help with school but only $3500/year. It's good to know they have loans, i don't have an excessive amt of loans already so i'm not averse to taking out more.
