<p>Try to find a safety and a financial safety to apply to. It’s difficult with nursing, because programs can be so hard to get into. And apply EARLY. This is very important because many programs simply fill up well before the application deadline. Even if you’re taking tests again, send in everything else, and your old test scores (with a note that you’re retaking them) ASAP. Meaning by the end of September. And take the September ACT if you can so you can get results earlier. The ACT is a different style than the SAT and you may do much better. </p>
<p>Also Drexel’s program is a bit controversial because they require an exit exam before allowing their students to graduate. This is how their NCLEX pass rate stays so high. There have been cases of students having to re-enroll for an extra year just to be eligible to take that test again so they can get a diploma. Search around on this forum for more info.</p>
