<p>I am wondering that I check my status admission decision through discover.drexel.edu , I found that I have been offered Dean’s scholarship, Dragon Family scholarship, and Phi Theta kappa scholarship. But in my offer letter I received, it only shows Dean’s scholarship. Why do my Dragon Family and PTK scholarships not show up in the offer letter ? Thanks</p>
<p>emilhuy11902 - in terms of your finaid info I’d call Drexel. That’s not my area of expertise.</p>
<p>mrod1206 - Unfortunately I do not have any insight on what athletes do in terms of housing and co-op. I know that almost all of them live in University Crossings and do so all year round. That’s about all I know.</p>
<p>-JPuck98, I am currently enlisted in the US Navy and have been for 8yrs. I will be applying to Drexel (LeBow) for the winter term of 2014. I am currently an Econ major and will be attempting to transfer about 60-70 semester credits. If accepted, my education is paid for under the Yellow Ribbon Program for veterans using the Post 9/11 GI Bill. I plan to go for the 3 co op. As far as student life goes, is it possible for me to balance being a member of about 3 clubs/associations along with LeBow classes? What type of hard work do you have to put in to get an extremely good Co-op (thinking Big 4)? Would you, by chance, know if I’d be able to have a dual concentration in accounting and MIS?</p>
<p>NavyGuy-
First and foremost, thank you for your service! If all of your credits transfer you’re looking at being a second/third term sophomore of a pre-junior. So I’m not entirely certain how you’ll fit all of your co-ops, but that’s more of something that admissions should be able to take care of. </p>
<p>In terms of student life, it is absolutely possible to balance your commitment. Especially with your military background, I’m sure you know how to manage your time and prioritize. I, on average, take between 18-20 credits, work between 15-20 hours a week at my on campus job, am in the Pep Band and was in ROTC (was just recently med DQ’ed). My point is, if it is important to you, you will find time to do it. And if you are responsible enough, you will ensure that it doesn’t affect your studies.</p>
<p>In terms of ‘extremely good co-ops’, it can most definitely be hit-or-miss. Some of my smarter friends have gotten absolutely ‘shafted’ when applying for co-op and haven’t gotten picked up until late B or early C round. That being said, GPA is a huge thing, as is work experience, and extra-curricular activities. Most people who interview well and have the aforementioned don’t have too terrible of a time picking up a sweet co-op. Especially those who are in LeBow. </p>
<p>As far as multiple concentrations… I’m someone who is studying three very different subjects, but have found enough overlapping credits (I also came in with a lot) to make it efficient. That being said, your concentrations could probably be achieved depending on how many classes in common the concentrations have. I don’t know very much about LeBow, but it is certainly doable to double major/double (or even triple) minor at Drexel if you do it right. </p>
<p>I hope this helps.
Good luck!</p>
<p>JPuck98-
Do you know anything about the Television Production program in the Westphal school or have any friends in the program? If so, could you tell me about their experiences and what their overall thoughts are of the program?
Thanks!</p>
<p>finfan - I do have a few friends in the TV program. They all seem to enjoy it a lot but often find themselves swamped. Not necessarily because of the courses they’re taking but due to all of the extra, or rather co-curricular activities they find themselves in. If you want, private message me and I can try to put you in contact with one, or both of them.</p>
<p>Hi, I just been accepted to Drexel’s nursing program (One Co-op) Do you possibly know anything more about the program that incoming students should know about before attending?</p>
<p>For co-ops, I only chose one for four years. But is it possible to change it to 3 Co-ops for 5 years?</p>
<p>The only thing I know about nursing is that it’s hard as hell. And you must maintain a 72% to pass. And that it’s hard. THat being said, all of my nursing friends say that it’s incredibly rewarding and they feel as though they’ve gotten a ton of useful and practical knowledge when it comes to nursing.</p>
<p>Yes, you can change. You can change up until your first co-op cycle, I think. But I’d do it sooner than later because it’ll probably affect your tuition costs.</p>
<p>I see. Was there large amount of nursing students at drexel completed the nursing program? Also what happens to the students who do not maintain a 72% to pass?
Affect my tuition? Are you saying the 5 year option comes in a bigger cost? Because when I applied I had to choose between one or 3 Co-ops but I don’t believe it said it will affect my tuition.</p>
<p>JPuck98- I sent you a visitor message the other day since it wouldn’t let me send a private message because I haven’t posted 15 times. Anyways, what I said was it would be great if you could get me in touch with one of your friends in the TV production program. That would help a lot in making my decision! Let me know which would be the best way to be in contact, whether it’s Facebook or email. Thanks again!</p>
<p>Hi I would like to know about the Immunology program at drexel and also regarding the housing (on campus vs off campus). How affordable is Philadelphia in and around drexel university.</p>
<p>thanks
alrains</p>
<p>vixxsen - I’m not entirely certain what happens. I think there’s a probatory period and after that I think you’re asked to leave the program/reconsider your major. As far as cost is concerned, I’m pretty sure 5 year 3 co-op is cheaper than 4 year 1 or 4 year no. But it might be different for nursing. </p>
<p>alrains - I don’t really know anything about the immunology program, but I can tell you a little about housing. So, due to Drexel’s new system you’re required to live on-campus or in Drexel-approved-housing your first two years. This means a traditional res hall your freshman year and then one of Drexel’s apartment complexes (UCross/Chestnut Square) for your second year. I’ve only lived in suite-style housing since I’ve been here, and I love it. My freshman year I lived in a six-person suite in Caneris and now I live in a six-person in North. Of the two, I’d go back to Caneris in a heartbeat, but North has its own flair and character, too.</p>
<p>Thank you JPuck98. So during the first year of masters, the students will have to live on-campus right. When inquired , the authorities mentioned about Stiles Hall (thats where most of the international graduate students live)…What is your opinion about Stiles Hall.</p>
<p>regards,
alrains.</p>
<p>So recently I was admitted to Drexel University for biological sciences major with 1 co-op. I read up on the co-ops at Drexel, and found that after my freshmen year I would no longer have summers off, I would either have to do my co-op in the spring/summer or take classes. I am thinking about not doing the co-op because I would like to have my summers off. I am still highly considering going to Drexel though. Also do a lot of people do the co-op as bio majors? Like would I be the only bio major who wasn’t doing a co-op or anything during the summers? Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>Also I read this on Drexel’s website regarding the co-op schedule.
“One Co-op Option (Four Years) This option includes just one six-month period of full-time employment during the junior year. At the start of the sophomore year, students study or work through all terms, including summers.”</p>
<p>Also! I heard that I would have to take placement exams if I were to enroll, can anyone give me more information about placement exams?</p>
<p>alrains - The only things I know about Stiles I’ve learned from applying to be an RA. I know that it’s smack-dab in the middle of the city. So. You’re right in the heart of all things Philadelphia. That’s about all I know.</p>
<p>(Echo)^3 - Let me tell you something about the no co-op. As someone who is a no-op (as we no co-ops are affectionately referred to here), don’t do it. Unless you’re five hundred percent that you’ll get a job on your own and that you’ll be just fine not seeing your friends during the summer. Your co-op cycle depends on your concentration/projected path, so I’m not entirely sure about that. </p>
<p>Placement exams are sent to you online over the summer. They will involve math and science if you’re any kind of Engineer.</p>
<p>Hey,
I was accepted by Drexel and I was just wondering something. In the 5 years co-op you get to do 3 co-op and in each co-op you get to make about $15000 for each one. So the total will be about $45000 for 5 years this amount can be used to pay the cost of the college am I correct? But what about other times when you are not doing co-op then can you get a on campus job and can you use the earnings to pay for the cost?
Moreover if you appeal for more aid what’s the maximum Drexel could give you?
PS: I am an international</p>
