Anyone applying of attending UPMC Shadyside

[megank5183]

Hi,

I just took the PSB and passed with 99 percentile scores in all areas. My college GPA (I already have my Bachelor's in Psych) was about a 3.4, high school wasn't as good. I am applying to begin Fall 2009. I was wondering how competitive acceptance rates are at UPMC. I know that nursing schools nationwide have long waiting lists and really low acceptance rates. Anyone with insight into my chances, please respond.

Thanks :)

this is a little OT but my Step sister is the super over there cath lab. Just thought that was interesting. Althougth I have heard that they are a really good teaching hosp.

When I applied for the entry in Sept 2006 those scores would have been fine. Don't know if they're any more or less competitive these days.

I'm not going to UPMC but I am in the area. I am pre-nursing at BC3 and know there are ADN programs there, at CCAC, and La Roche. The director of admissions at BC3 told me that the average GPA for the students who started this fall was 3.4 so you would qualify there.
