Will start adv health assessment and adv pharm. Everything has been good so far. Previously, a lot of writing, projects, discussion boards, & reading. I agree that there is a lot of work. It is doable. Just have to commit.

My advice: Get acquainted with APA format. Make yourself a nice work station at home. Get ready to read a lot. Buy books early and start reading. Stay ahead on discussion boards. Be ready for many projects. Organization is improving.

I had asked the same question to my admissions advisor and she stated "It would take a week to get registered into the system after your acceptance". I could sign into my email and other accounts within a week of my acceptance date.
