Jross, I would love to hear your stats if you don't mind sharing. I am applying to Penn for 2011. Thank you so much. Did you apply anywhere else in Philly?

hey, So I was misled and I am actually accepted to may 2011 class and waitlisted for 2010. This is a seperate issue entirely. I did not apply anywhere else in philly.

I had a 3.3 GPA but took a grad medical biochem class and got an A

Thanks, Joss. I really appreciate you sharing. Sorry to hear your dilemma about getting pushed back till 2011. Do you know if the 2011 class if full? Also, one more question if you don't mind sharing, do you have your CCRN?

Again, thank you so much. I know Penn has a great reputation in Philly!

I am not sure if the 2011 class is full. It seems due to their rolling admissions that they fill up classes very early. I do not have my CCRN.

Again, Jross, you've been so much help. Thank you. I appreciate you sharing your stats with me.

(Late response, but in searching for fellow CRNA students, I just now happened upon your post)...I'm starting UPenn's CRNA program in May 2010. I've been a nurse for 6 years working in a critical care/open heart setting for the vast majority of that time. I applied to Penn around July 2008 and was accepted in October 2008. (I did not make it into the 2009 class--it was already full.) I have been studying for, but have not yet taken, my CCRN. Hope this helps in some way.

I have an interview at Penn soon, can anyone tell me what to expect? It is one hour in length which seems to be short in comparison to those of other schools. Is this enough time to have a complete understanding of the program, resources, etc.? Is the interview heavily concentrated on clinical questions? The interviews among schools seem to vary significantly so I want to be prepared. How long after the interview until I will be made aware of any decisions? Thanks for all of your help!

Hi JRoss, I just received an invitation to interview at Upenn, I would really like to ask you what your interview experience was like and what kinds of questions they asked you? I appreciate any help you can give me!
