@Drea824 since you got accepted to both Barry and UM, do you know which choice you’re going with? Me personally I’m considering both, but if everything goes smooth for me at Barry I might go that route comparing Barry $27k to UM $40k.

This is the tough decision I need to make by next Tuesday ? Not sure yet.

@Drea824 Thanks for your reply! I just found out that Barry changed their entrance exam from the Kaplan to the Teas. Right now I’m studying for the Teas most likely after my meeting with Teri next Tuesday so I can schedule it to take it over there. I’ve been so focused on taking the Kaplan now that happened. If you have any info pertaining to the TEAS exam please let me know. I’ll message you my email address. Thanks

Hey so I just submitted my app 3 days ago and got an email saying they are missing a “CLEP psychology” credit. I already took that class though, anyone else had this problem?

Its confusing because they said all of my transcripts were verified.

If you have taken the required psychology course I would just call the school (that is if they’re the ones who sent you the email) and make sure that it wasn’t an oversight.

Okay yes I took two IB courses that counted for psychology and it’s never been a problem when applying to other schools. I’ll call tomorrow sure the office closed as soon as I got the email. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I spoke with Ms. C today and she said that they could have up to 100 students in the cohort, but not more than that. Just figured I would share since I had been under the impression that they would admit up to 70. Also, a few limited scholarship opportunities will be made available after the first semester. These would not cover the majority of the tuition cost but would be one or two for $10k, a few for $5k, etc. Financial aid awards for second-degree students are not common.

@Mr.lucky1 I took the TEAS for my FIU application. I bought a book on Amazon called ATI TEAS Secrets (it has a yellow cover). I thought the book was ok. I read the whole thing and did two of the practice tests. I also bought a practice test directly from ATI. Good luck!

March 20th but I was finishing my undergrad up at FSU, so I missed the first batch of admissions before my graduation. But during the last one they made a mistake on my application with my classes...
