Hi, I am a Current senior in a NJ hs (Will Graduate 2016), and I am currently interested in becoming a nurse. I recently visited Drexel University, and I feel like it’s a perfect fit! Please let me know your opinion on my chances of getting in as a nursing major at Drexel or any of the other schools listed here. My only issue with Drexel is extremely high cost of attendance.

I personally think you’ll get in.
I’m not sure about the nursing program specifically and what scholarships are given, but my parents didn’t think I would get much from Drexel because of our tax bracket and I actually ended up with a scholarship that covered tuition.
