Hello to any fellow Penn Summer 2024 applicants!

Has anyone heard from/ personally contacted admissions to see when decisions would be released? Yale wants a non-refundable deposit of $600 by Feb 15th, and I'd rather not pay that if Penn admits me! 

If nobody has heard anything, I'll most likely contact them to see what I can find out!

At the end of my interview, she just said "end of February at the latest." She really emphasized at the latest. Does not help much with a Feb 15th deadline. I hope you find a better answer! Maybe you could ask for a one or two week extension from Yale.

Good luck!

Yeah, my interviewer said the same thing (le sigh). I got too impatient to wait for an All Nurses response even though I waited all of 3 minutes, so I just emailed the admissions department!

Fair enough, people on allnurses know that feeling all too well!!  I am hoping Penn's decision is released soon! Last year it was Feb 3rd

Applied post graduate PMHNP certificate program a fews after 1/15 deadline. No interview request yet. Sadly, crickets. I'm an adult-gero NP. Wondering how many open spots there may be left, and whether I applied too late.

I got my U Penn acceptance letter this morning (2/19)! I decided to let go of Yale, and up until this morning, my plan looked like UT-Austin. Now I have some difficult choices to make!
