I would've applied for the BSN/MSN, but didn't have enough time to properly prepare for the GRE. :uhoh3:

@amojo99, how does the open house work with two different time slots for MSN program presentationI. and would you be available on the student panel to answer questions or would you be participating in other areas?

I went to the open house last fall, so Filomena said I didn't need to go to another...but now I'm wondering if I should have just gone anyway. Guess its too late now, so for those going, please post if anything really interesting comes-up. Last year totally sealed the deal for me in terms of Penn being my #1 choice...hope everyone has a good time!

The open house was great and full of useful information. A couple key things: we should be getting emails about interviews early this week. We were told Monday most likely, but it looks like the U Penn system crashed. Also, we should be getting an email about submitting midterm grades (if you are currently taking courses). Finally, if you don't get in, its most likely that they just didn't have enough slots, not that you weren't qualified. If you chose to reapply, make sure you do something with your time (meaningful volunteer experience, healthcare exposure, course work, etc). Pathophysiology was a recommended course, but it wont transfer. Pharmacology was also good, and there is potential for it to transfer.

Thanks, everyone! I emailed Filomena about that midterm grade report last week and she said either Friday (last Friday) or this Monday. With it being Tuesday, I was getting nervous, but I guess good to know it is out of our hands. Hopefully Penn will be up and running soon so all those emails can go out. I agree with arcr, if anyone gets an email about interviews, please post.

Thanks!

Okay, so I got the interview invite a few minutes ago. Does anyone know what the acceptance % of interviewed applicants is?

Does anyone know if these are group interviews? it sort of reads that way...but it says more details are to come.

do they interview everyone? I still find that hard to believe but the email really reads that way. i dont know what to think.

I applied to the FHNP program.

hey arcr!

i got the interview invite too. i was thinking the same thing! the email looks so general that i think all applicants get an interview. i remember being on a previous penn forum from last cohort and no one said anything about it being a group interview. if you click on your registration link, it says the day is scheduled to be from 9am-3pm so i'm guessing everyone has their individual interview within that time slot.

i'm not sure how many interviewers get accepted but i read on their website that they accept ~23% out of 400-500 applicants.

yes, from looking at the registration link it seems like we'd get a slot for an interview with faculty, hopefully its individual.

I am so curious about if they interview everyone! I would be so surprised.
