Hi!!
They do offer the chance to defer. I know a lot of students deferred last year due to COVID.
And then if I can give anyone else any advice right now... start applying for...

I was in fact admitted off the waitlist! I found out in mid-April. I know another person admitted in May (so.... very notice). It DOES happen, especially once admitted students see the...
Another alum here (graduated from the ABSN program in December, planning on working as an RN for a bit before heading back for my MSN), happy to answer questions! I do know that Penn just announced...
This is late but maybe it'll help future people--Penn's program is better than Jefferson's. But unless you come from money or get significant financial aid, then no ABSN program is worth what Penn...
I'll be honest-- your first Summer will be HARD. Do you have a partner or access to childcare? I was studying round-the-clock that first Summer. After that Summer, it depends on the students. Some...
Do not count on much for financial aid. The full rides do not count for second-degree students. I believe (but am not sure) that I got more grants than many in my class, and my total still came out to...
Thanks! I spoke a little about my background and the program in another post (tl;Dr: I didn’t have a health background, and the program was great in some ways and disappointing in others, and...
I’ll try to be honest and open and answer all your questions!
What were your stats prior to entering the program? (prior degree in?, cum GPA, healthcare experience?)
Prior degree in...
@kkelly532 First semester (Summer) is definitely intense-- practically 9-5 for 8 weeks. I don't know anyone who worked (but I have no doubt that a few did). The two most time-intensive classes were...
Hey folks! I’m a current ABSN student. I’m currently on Spring break so I have some free time. Feel free to ask me questions about my experience! I remember that talking to students really helped...
Your experience is pretty typical. Now that I’m here, I’ve found that I have to go to administrators’ offices to get a response to anything. It’s... pretty annoying, considering the amount of...
I eventually got the insulting email asking me to apply to their Charlotte program. I started at Penn this summer, so no sweat off my back, but I told them that their admissions process doesn’t...
Hi all, I just got in off the waitlist (for BSN-MSN FNP). I currently have to decide between Penn and another school and would love to have more information. Is there anyone who went to the admitted...
I haven't heard anything. They also aren't answering their phones, and didn't respond to an email I sent them. Kinda rude, IMO. (FYI, I'm on the waitlist for BSN/MSN
Accepted for FNP! Will *probably* be giving up my spot (I got into Yale and Emory and am leaning towards Yale), but I haven't visited MGH yet and I'm in the same boat as cykana-- it's been a while...
For those of you who went to the admitted day, would you mind telling us what you thought? (I'm particularly interested in some of the comments made earlier about it not being as supportive an...
So, this might not be great news to people on the waitlist... I found out today that YSN has exceeded their enrollment targets in ALL specialty areas. Don’t give up hope— some people might have...
I really loved it— the cohort seemed very close-knit and the sim lab was amazing. Everyone was very clear that the GEPN year is unbelievably intense (it seemed more intense than the ABSN year of the...
