As of 3 years ago, the York College deposit was $500, but $300 of that was refundable if you cancelled before May 1. $200 is a relatively low cost to keep your options open. Yes, the incoming nursing classes do fill up - I wouldn’t wait any longer to put in a deposit.

If you have to do a 4.5 year instead of 4 year, you will have a less stressful courseload, but it will cost many thousand of dollars more. With the 4.5 year track, you avoid the need to do the summer mini-mester, which costs about $2500 including housing. My daughter is in the 4 year program, which requires about 128 credits, but she did two online community college classes during summers to reduce the workload during the school year.

York offers automatic merit scholarships based upon test scores. Some colleges will allow you to become eligible for the scholarship even if you improve your test score after the acceptance.

My daughter is happy with York’s nursing and science classes. Some of the other classes were not very hard, which is actually helpful in doing well in your very challenging nursing and science classes and clinicals. At a more competitive college, she could have been overwhelmed with very challenging liberal arts classes. So far, all of her clinicals have been at the two hospitals in the city of York, which is very convenient.
