GeorgeA Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 The ARC-PA website said these are the issues - are there any current students on here that can comment?

All of the above issues are very much present and very much an issue. Not much has changed. I really hope they do get accrediated because they professors are very nice and care about their jobs, but it is a gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speakertone Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Has anyone had any issues submitting the $50 fee to Monmouth? I tried using the link provided on CASPA but it says my application is not found even though I submitted. Is there a lag time between submitting and being able to pay the fee to Monmouth? Also- anyone had to submit AP scores through College Board directly to Monmouth? Never had to do that before since I have the credits on my transcript. And since I took my AP exams >4 years ago they are archived and need a special request through College Board to get sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not good. Any idea on how they did on the PANCE? They don't have their scores posted. Coupled with the accreditation problems above it is making me very nervous to apply.

PA5678_med Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I think most grads have passed the PANCE! But to be honest I wouldn't recommend applying. Hopefully you'll be accepted to a different program, so then problem solved. If not then you're stuck in limbo deciding to take a chance going to a program that may lose accreditation while you're there. I know the next visit is next fall so I'll be good to graduate next spring, but its a tough situation for anyone looking to apply now. Best of luck!
