I was wondering if you could please tell me in detail how you paid for tuition. I really want to go but 100k is alot

I was wondering if someone could tell me how they paid for Duke accelerated program in detail.

cm530- Hey, i am going to be in the May 2012 cohort also!!!!... However, I am from St.Louis, so I will not need a place to stay, but I would like to offer you some advice. I would recommend living in South City. It is not too far from campus and the houses/apartments are cheaper then the ones in the SLU area. South City is also cheaper then central west end. If you need any help let me know!

do you have any type of free time? I mean just enough to keep you sane? like are you able to do one thing you enjoy doing for at least an hour once a month? I dont expect to have ample free time but I would like to have some down time at least for one hour once a month so I do not go crazy lol. I have to make a decision between SLU and MU and I do not know which to choose .

Nailbomb- I was wondering how the program is going for you? I hope still great! I have to make a decision soon. Is there anything else you would like to tell me about your likes and dislikes? Also, how is the staff and teachers? are they nice and helpful? I work best in a positive environment! lol Did the program make you feel too stressed, I mean like to the point where you wanted to quit? Thanks, britbrat

o okay... I was just wondering because I read another blog and they said they that they had some free time, not a lot, but enough that they did not go crazy from stressing over school every day all day lol

icurnedu- hey are you currently in or have been in the accelerated program?

I don't know if it would be too late? I applied in October, because I knew that SLU was kind of on a rolling admission process. They will continue to accept students until all their spots are filled. However, they do accept like 100 people because they know that some of them will not show up. There are usually only about 65 students that end up in the program though. (those numbers could be a littler off, but that's a ball park figure) So, my advice to you would be to call SLU and ask them if they are still admitting students for May. Also, I am not sure what the average GPA is, but I do know that they take your previous degree into consideration, focus more so on your prerequisites, and your personal statement. So as long as you have above the minimum GPA requirement even if its just a 3.1, I would still apply! GOOD LUCK

Yes I am from Saint Louis. I recommend looking for places that are like 15mins from SLU, because the central west end is an expensive place to live and the area around SLU is also. However, Saint Louis has a low cost of living rate. Just let me know if you need any help or have any questions. Im glad I know somebody that will be in the program with me.

Yes ma'am!! I have been accepted and submitted my deposit also! Congrats!!! :clpty:

Well I am so happy to hear that you enjoy the program! I was a little reluctant because it is 15months and others is 12! but then again it is one of the cheapest. Isnt the tuition like 20thousand?

Its okay. I appreciate the information you did tell me! You have been very helpful! Was the interview laid back? I had a friend who just had her interview and she said it was very laid back and they did not ask her any hard questions?

Yea i have heard that the interview is the most important! I really want to know what the program is like, because I have applied other places as well! So I am trying to see what will be the best option! did they tell you why you didnt get in? I know this girl told us she didnt get in because at the interview they said she didnt have enough personality .

i was wondering if you could give me some insight on mizzou's accelerated nursing program? I have applied and have my interview soon! What are the pros and cons of the program? would you recommend it? thanks

sorry didnt mean to post the above reply...but thanks you have been very helpful!
