Hey Jess - At the moment I have chosen a different school but here's what I was told:

The tentative schedule for your first semester will include 1 full day a week at our program site in Liverpool for clinical lab and classroom. Your first semester this will be on Tuesday

Then you will need to plan additional days to come onsite to practice your clinical skills in the skills lab. You will have exams onsite on Friday mornings at the Liverpool program site. Your exams won't begin until approximately your third week into the program. Your hospital clinical schedule will be assigned when you get started in the program.

Your second, third, and fourth semesters, you will spend two full days a week at hospital clinical locations and you will have one full day here on site for exams / clinical lab & classroom.

Can you please tell me why you did not choose this school.. I am also looking into Marian University which is in Indianapolis, I'm trying to decide if Utica College is a better choice since its close to home a better fit than Indianapolis. I'm trying to compare programs, comparing the money issue in terms of the loans the extra fees and housing.

I'm considering Utica as well. The program sounds great to me!

Hi Everybody and Leroy,

I'm very interested in the program in Utica. I live in NJ and I am foreigner and I have my BS in food and Nutrition. My cumulative GPA only 2.96 Which after I got it evaluated from WES I think this might drop to 2.6 :( . I spoke to someone a few day ago.She called me and interview to get some basic information and to make sure if I was be able to study online. Most classes are on like ,she said. What I need to do it to work and have a good time management. I'm doing the prerequisite courses at Union County College now. I also look for apply at Seton Hall this fall too, I sent an unofficial transcripts to Fairleigh Dickinson but he replied that my GPA was too low he afraid that I will have a high chance for the nursing department not even review my application. Does anybody have same situation as me with low GPA? I'm very worry and I really afraid of not getting into anywhere.

Any suggestion would be very very helpful, I am open on relocating in PA,NY also if you have known any school.

Thank you SO MUCH for reading my post!!!!!!! _/\_ _/\_ _/\_
