Thanks for your response!! I graduated with a Family Community Services degree(similiar to social work) with a Health directed elective. So I didn't have too many science classes at State, mostly just kinesiology, but I have since taken most of my pre-reqs(anatomy, micro, etc) and 4.0 them-but I did only take them 1-3 classes at a time...so nothing like 18-20 credits a semester!! One more question.....Did many people drop out of the program-either due to failing out, or because they found it to be too much?? Also...about how much studying would you say you did per day?? Sorry to bombard you with so many questions!! Thanks again!!!

Hey Katie- Right now I'm looking to start my clinicals at Madonna University in Jan 2006- and finishing fall of 2008. I already have a bachelors degree from Michigan State and I was looking at UDMs SDO. I went to an informational meeting and have applied- however I'm leaning towards Madonna's program because it would be less intense. What would your(and anyone else reading this and wishing to respond) opinion be for me to do- If I went to UDM, the program wouldn't start until May 2006, so I would finish the following May 2007, and it would be an intense program with 20 credits a semester plus clinical hours. At Madonna, I would start in January 2006 and it would be 4 semesters of nursing classes, summers off...so I would finish fall of 2007. Basically, so you think it would be worth it to go to UDM with a more intense program just to finish 6mos earlier? How INTENSE was the program? I've heard you basically have NO life in that program outside of your classes. I'm just concerned, because although I tend to do well in the sciences and have always been in advanced classes- I did not study much at MSU, and as you may imagine, partied more than I should have. I am determined now to study...but I feel like I am a bit out of the swing of things studying wise;) Well....I guess I'm just wondering what others who have gone through similiar programs think about my situation, and which option would be best! THANKS!
