UPenn Second Degree BSN 2013

U.S.A. Pennsylvania

Published

I am applying to the Second degree nursing program at UPenn. I've decided not to go for the direct entry BSN/MSN program since I am not at ALL ready for the GRE (if they decide that I absolutely HAVE to take my GRE then I will), I'm sure I want to get an advanced degree in nursing, but I have multiple intrests and want to get more in depth info once I get into a BSN program. I know it's extremely expensive ($59,000 if you decide to live on campus, which I may have to do) but I am still intrested in my chances of attending this program. Is there anyone else that is applying for next year? Any past students that can attest to the cirriculum? Is it possible to work part time while attending or should I just let that dream go right now? Did anyone live on campus while going to school? I've been trying to do a board search for past experiences/anyone that's applying for this year and there was too much to sift through. So I figured I'd start a new thread!

does not being granted an interview mean that you're most likely not going to be accepted? i wonder what being granted an interview means...

Hello everyone! I've applied to the accelerated BSN-MSN program, so I too am waiting to hear on a BSN decision (as well as an MSN decision!). I'm so nervous! They haven't officially decided yet but word on the street is that it'll be not next week, but the week after. AHHH! Good luck everyone, let's keep each other updated of any new news!

Hello everyone!

I am also an ABSN only applicant and I was wondering if any of you received an interview? We are getting close to the final decisions and I have not yet received an interview. I hope that does not mean bad news.

I keep checking my inbox for any news!

Good luck to everyone!

revesreves, I don't think it necessarily means anything discouraging if absn only applicants don't receive interviews because I remember reading on one of these threads that there have been absn applicants who werent interviewed but were accepted. we'll receive decisions soon enough, good luck to us all!

Hi chinyere130,

I am hoping for that date too! I was reading past threads and applicants had either heard during the first week or second week of February. I hope they send out e-mails soon!

I think that they will tell us soon when we should expect to hear back. I had been told that it would be next week or the week after :)

revesreves, i love everything about upenn so it is indeed my first choice :yes: i know it is a very very expensive program to attend however (tuition has gone up by $40k over the past two years alone! :woot:) and am crossing my fingers and toes in hopes that they offer a good financial aid package if i'm lucky enough to be accepted :nailbiting:...tuition alone is $106k :wideyed: :speechless:!

as a random sidenote, i just realized how fun it is playing with these emoticons haha
