Hi all!

Just wanted to start a forum for TJU FACT-1 or 2 applicants to the Center City location. I submitted my app August 10 and had my interview yesterday. Feel free to contribute and ask questions! Let's help each other out during this stressful process : )

interview was on the 12th of this month, and got notified about acceptance 9 days later. I applied to gwynned mercy and . got accepted to gwynned, but was holding out paying the $500 deposit until i found out from Jefferson. Drexel doesn't start their reviews till next year i think. I was midway applying to Penn when i realized who am i kidding, $110k BSN degree from Penn is the same BSN degree from Jefferson and gwynned. And from current students in the program, they said their (Penns) finance office is a mess.

I see, thanks for the info! Does Jefferson have a similar policy to (60 days to accept and pay $500 deposit)? I'm wondering because Penn is actually my top choice but interviews aren't offered until November. I know their tuition is quite high but past students have told me they are pretty generous with scholarships, so I figured I'd give it a try.

Yes, it states deposit is due within three weeks of being accepted. Scholarships are definitely a plus, if you can get one. I never really considered it.
