Hi All, I originally was accepted to the Spring 2013 cohort but decided to defer for several different reasons. As such, I have A LOT of inside information about this program. I went to their open house and learned about all kinds of things, took a tour, and received the Spring 2013 check off sheet that will not be sent out for Fall 2013 cohort until March/April. I still have 4 pre-reqs to fulfill. Not sure if anyone knows of this, but there is an option called "CLEP"ing. This is where you actually take a test and can test out of taking a college course. Many of the pre-reqs, such as Intro to pysch, intro to sociology, and Human Growth and Development can be taken through CLEP. All you have to do is buy the $25 CLEP book, study what they suggest, take a $80 test at a certified institute, and pass with a 70 or above and you're done!! Also- I know about the requirements and grade averages each semester to continue in the program. If anyone wants to know about this, I will certainly put another post up about it. The actual nursing school is awesome! They have all these dummies (a pregnant woman, baby, and adult) for us to practice on and even a doctors office for us to practive visiting patients. What happens is we enter a room, interview with a LIVE person, and are critiqued on how we handled the situation. The interview is even recorded for us to look at ourselves! Okay, that's all i will say for now. Let me know if anyone wants more information. I got the inside scoop!

Hello Again. So I am trying to get a private loan for this program. Only problem is almost everyone says I have to wait at least 3-6 months before the program starts to apply for loans. We all know that we have a 60 day period to give a final answer as to whether or not we accept. How are the rest of you dealing with this dilemma? Can anyone suggest private loans that they are using? I am just in over my head and I want to go to this program so bad, but I DO NOT want to be stuck paying for tuition and not have a means to pay. Anyone else in this situation??

Gen Chem- Chem 110/121 is the only accepted one for Drexel I believe. Anatomy- Bio 109/110 Micro- Bio 241 And that's all I can remember. I took chem 110 and micro at the same time during this summer. It was a drag, but it got me accepted in the program. Hope to see you in the 2013 Fall cohort!

Hi! I just received my application decision. I was accepted! Congrats to all the other accepted students. I decided to accept this program and am feeling a little unsure. The cost seems high, and I have absolutely NO idea how to find real scholarships or how to even get loans. I am also confused as to if we have to live on campus during the 11 month program. Any thoughts / worries similar to mine?
