Hey everyone!!! I just found out today on the Discover Drexel that I was accepted!!!!! :) I am so thrilled and excited!!!! I know so many of you are anxiously waiting but I am sure you will hear soon. For a timeline: my entire app was in by September 15th. My stats are: 3.2 Cumm in Public Health (I will graduate in May!), 3.7-3.8 in my last 60 credits, which I think helped me out significantly! And about a 3.3-3.4 gpa in pre reqs. I am finishing up A and P 2 right now and only have microbiology and ethics left. I know there has Been some confusion on here about acceptances, so I hope that this doesn't confuse anyone any more, but I wanted to share with you because I know my stats will maybe give you a little confidence and some relief during this waiting period!! Good luck to ALL!!!! :)

CM89- this is crazy that this happened. If I were you I would definitely call the admissions department and ask for what happened/ If they can give you an explanation. Maybe it was a mistake? If I were you I would call just to make sure!!! Best of luck to you! I still have not heard.

BrownieLover- Congratulations!!!! :) that is so exciting!!! Is your status on discover Drexel changed to say that you are accepted? I'm not sure about the mail thing but typically they send a packet in the mail a week or two later so you may want to contact them about it. Congrats again!!! :)

Congratulations!!!! And thanks for the info :) pdxjenn- I hope you get in too!!! :) i would probably rent an apartment in center city cause the nursing school is not on the main campus in universal city. It's near race and vine i believe. Rittenhouse square is a beautiful neighborhood but it is very expensive for the most part. I know a few of those apartments allow dogs!!! A lot of college students and Grad students tend to live on Benjamin Franklin parkway which is pretty close to the school and suburban station, and the prices are usually more reasonable. I'm not sure if they allow dogs but it's definitely worth finding out!!!

Hi! That's what mine says too!! Hopefully we will hear from them soon!! :) I wonder how many people already heard from them!

Imnovak- CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! :) :) :) :) I have a few quick questions- when did you apply? And did you get the letter in the mail AND did your status change online on discoverdrexels website? Or did you just get the letter in the mail?!! I knew they were going to start looking soon but wasn't sure it would be this soon. You got accepted to ACE rather than the classic undergrad program right? Congrats again and good luck to all :)

Hi! Good luck with everything!!! :) when I went to the information session, they were very honest about the program. They said it is definitely hard (shortest program in the country - 11 months) but they said people really work hard and can succeed in it. I believe they said the graduation rate is about 70% (but this is off the top of my head so don't quote me on that) but they said a good majority of those who didn't graduate did not do so for various reasons. They said of course there are some people who did not pass, but a lot of people had personal issues, including money. Because the program is $40000 or so and no one in the program can work because of it's full time intensity, it can be difficult for Many people to pay so they have to drop out. They also said that some people simply realize that nursing may not be for them so they choose not to complete the program. I am so anxious!! I hope we all get in!!! :) when I went to the information session and got to see the labs and the classrooms, I was absolutely blown away and now it raised the bar that much higher!!!

Thank you so much!! I will definitely keep you updated :) and please let me know when you hear too!! You have good stats!!! My stats are: 3.2 Undergrad Gpa. A 3.7 in my last 60 credits and 3.3 in pre requisites. Hope it all works out!! :)

Hi! Yes you should definitely be good with only having those two classes left! You have more than 9 done and also seem to have all of your sciences done! So no worries for that! They said that you should have over a 3.0 in the last 60 credits and they really look at that, which seems like that could be great for you! Me too actually! They also recommended a 3.0 in pre requisites! They said the average gpa of acceptance is typically a 3.3 gpa (I don't think they specified but I'm assuming that's in the last 60 credits?) so I would say as long as you have above a 3.0 or above in last 60 credits and 3.0 or above in your prerequisites, then you are competitive!! I am sooo nervous as well!!! Fingers crossed for you and everyone who applied :)!!

Hi! Thank you for starting this thread!! I went to an info session a few weeks ago (which I really recommend because it was so helpful, organized, and overall extremely impressive)! And they said they will start the rolling admission on November 1, 2011 for the ACE Fall of 2012 students! They also changed their pre-requisite requirement to having 9 pre requisites complete before being accepted instead of 7, like it was previously. My status has not changed but I will post when it does!! :) Looking at previous years allnurses threads, it seems like most people found out between early November through Thanksgiving, assuming that they applied by Oct 15! :)
