UPenn BSN/MSN 2010

U.S.A. Pennsylvania

Published

Just thought id start a new thread for those who are waiting to hear back from upenn's bsn/msn program. The waiting is killing me. I dont think i have a chance at getting in (low GPA/GRE scores), but i just want to know so that i can move on and not have this waiting on my shoulders. Anyone else out there?

I know, this is a really tough decision! I'm sure both schools would be great. I agree, Penn has seemed more organized during this process, and it seems like they might be cheaper in the end, but it's hard to say at this point. It doesn't help that I've never been to Philadelphia before! I wasn't able to make it in person for the interview, so it's hard to know if I'd like the city. Did you visit the campus? Any thoughts on how it felt vs. UCSF?

Hi everyone. I would like to apply to UPENN for summer 2011. But I have a question about the prereqs. Can the 8 credit chem class be one introduction to gen. chem, and a gen. chem class or two general chemistry classes. Does it have to be general chemistry AND an organic/biochem class ? I'm so confused by all the rigidness of the prereqs outlined on their website. In order for me to take an ochem or biochem class, i will have to take 3 chem classes as prerequisites of them! Outrageous! Any input and advice would be SO appreciated.

Hi jiwonkim. The prereqs are confusing, so much so that I can't answer your question. I strongly recommend you contact the admissions office and get a transcript evaluation so that you are sure of what you've completed and what you still have to take. This is a great thing to do at each of the schools are planning to apply to.

Just take any TWO chemistry class at least 4 credits that has a lab and two biology classes that has a lab! thats it!

Could any you share your stats, as far as GPA, GRE score... so that I can assess the likelihood of my being accepted?? Thanks!

Hi everyone - I know this thread is 2 years old, but I've been accepted to UPenn and I'm curious to hear all your impressions of it and how financial aid has played out for you all - my cohort is shocked to hear that we are paying $5,000 per CU for summer. We're kind of worried now. I'm going in as WHNP, and very excited. Pros/cons of the program? how has it been? how crazy/busy? Any info hugely appreciated! (particularly on financial aid :):))
