   Maren26 replied to elizabethhis's topic in General Students

   I think everything depends on the school you apply to. The accelerated program I intend on going to has a 2.7 GPA requirement. Not as many people apply because although part of the program was paid for by a hospital the tuition is still almost $40,00...
