<p>Anyone else considering this? Anyone know students who have done it in the past?</p>
<p>I'm considering but I don't know anyone that's done it. I believe this is only the 4th year they've had this program so it would be kinda hard to find anyone that's done it.<br>
Regardless of the fact that you aren't technically matriculated until Spring, if AU is where you wanna go I think this program is great. You earn take a basic level writing seminar, an elective, and a "practicum" where you get to travel all around DC to learn, AND you earn 15 credits for it. It seems like a great opportunity to me. The only downfalls in my opinion are having to live on the Tenley Campus, which I imagine really isn't that big of a deal and the fact that there is NO financial aid. I got $15k for the second semester which is awesome but its gonna hurt that there is no money for that first semester.
What are your thoughts on it DVMMOM?</p>
<p>Anyone else thinking about this?</p>
<p>I am seriously considering this option. Alternatively, I am considering taking classes at a nearby school for up to 12 credits for the fall semester and then going to AU in January. I can't afford to pay for a full semester there, but I was given 10K for the spring. I was initially very upset by this whole thing, but after 1 rejection and 3 (A WHOPPING 3 waitlists), I am considering all options.</p>
<p>We just visited AU. We didn't tour Tenley but did do a drive by. It is very convienient to the Metro, much more than American, and a shuttle runs between the two campuses. They are about a half mile apart. Suggest finding out what impact spring matriculation will have on sequential courses like foreign languages. What will your spring semester look like?</p>
