NataliyaPA Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Thanks Hassan, I guess it's from not being in a similar situation and not knowing exactly what to expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raj28 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Does anyone have a deeper insight into their academic probation status? And if they are doing anything to rectify it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerPA Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 It's actually on administrative probation, not academic probabtion, due to something pretty silly. Their academics are stellar, the last class had a 100% pass rate for the PANCE and I think the year before was 98%. The next accreditation meeting isn't till 2023 I think, and they plan to have it back to a continued status then, which shouldn't be a problem the faculty said. The program is accredited and all graduates are eligible to sit for the PANCE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our new director has taken every measure possible to rectify it and now it is just a matter of time before it is reviewed and updated. She has been working on the necessary paperwork for the ARC-PA and has given herself a ton of extra time for edits that may be needed before the actual deadline. But if you are invited to interview, this is absolutely something you can ask the faculty/director yourself. They were very open about it during my interview last year, and are still willing to talking about it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like a minor issue and I am glad they are taking the initiative to correct it. Thank you and EngineerPA for the timely responses, I appreciate it. Hope you both have a great day.

Our new director is getting all of the necessary paperwork ready by September (to allow time for edits) and will be sending it to ARC-PA at the beginning of the new year! If all goes well then the probation should be lifted in 2018. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weller92tsi Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I haven't yet. I don't think the class is full yet but looks like they are having one or two more interview sessions. I'm still crossing my fingers because I really liked it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I don't know how much information I can give, but it was very relaxed. During my interview we were broken into groups of 3 where we interviewed individually with two different members of the admissions committee in separate time blocks. Then we had a group Q and A session, which was followed by a tour of the school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hassan1 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I have a question regarding the transportation around the university and the cities around.

I am coming from Michigan and wondering if someone please advice regarding which airport I should come to, and what's the best way to use to get to Bridgeport city, thanks in advance I'm a current student and can give you some suggestions but there are many ways to get around but these are a few options. The cheapest would be to fly into a NYC airport or Boston Logan. Boston can be cheaper for flights but it is farther away. You can fly into Hartford, CT but the flights would likely be way more expensive and the airport is still about an hour from the University. I personally flew into Boston and got a rental car and stayed the night before in a cheap hotel. I felt like having a rental car gave me the most control over timing everything. You could try looking into the AMTRAK train from Boston to Bridgeport. There are also trains that run from NYC to Bridgeport station and then you could maybe a catch an Uber or something to get to your hotel. I've never personally used Uber/lyft in Bridgeport area though. Hopefully this helps :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I am coming to NYC airport at night, you advice for a rental car or is there AMTRAK from NYC airport to Bridgeport.? safety issues also.. thanks again for the input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastudentw Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Just now, Hassan1 said: thanks for your quick response , your input is for sure helpful. So if I am coming to NYC airport at night, you advice for a rental car or is there AMTRAK from NYC airport to Bridgeport.? safety issues also.. thanks again for the input Yeah the trains mostly just run during the day. So if you use a rental car you can get away with flying in at different times and not having to worry about the train schedule not running at night. Just make sure if you are driving to bring some cash for tolls if you don't buy the EZpass from the rental car company. I haven't done it myself before, but there are just regular subways that run from NYC to Bridgeport. AMTRAK is more for Boston to Bridgeport. If you type it into google maps it will give what connections and which subway lines you need for whichever date you are traveling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
