Rumors about getting denied entrance?
Hi all!
I have heard now from 2 people that if you have or get a disease or even break a bone in the middle of the program, mostly all colleges or universities will NOT let you in?
Is this true... or has anyone been denied because of reasons like this? I have Lyme and the last thing I want to do is finish my prereqs, apply and get rejected!
Thanks guys!

I got mononucleosis twice in nursing school and made it through. Technically speaking, dismissing someone due to illness or injury would be discrimination.

Where did you hear this?
Most programs will work with you; at least I know mine has worked with people.
Talk to the programs, instead of taking people's statements at face value.
