Hi everyone, just wanted to start a thread for everyone who applied for UPenn. Has anyone heard back from the admission committee? If so, when did you apply and how long before did you get an interview? Good luck everyone

I'd say apply now and see how it goes! If it doesn't go well, maybe switch to SICU instead of CCU.

Thanks! It's going good so far, almost done with the first semester. I have to admit, it was a hard decision for me but I had already left my workplace when Penn notified me. Anyway, just be knowledgeable of the medications and procedures that you of...

Hey, yeah I was wait listed and they didn't get in touch with me until July.. I think? Unfortunately, I had to decline it because I was accepted to another program that was way cheaper and started sooner.

I also applied last year. I agree with what TPN had to say about the interview! I don't know how it will be this year, but last year, we waited for a long time for decisions to come out. Interviews were held around March and we didn't get the decisio...

I would apply now. You're not wasting your time/money if this is something you want to do. Most programs look at more than just your stats so don't worry and good luck!

Maybe that person has more than a year of ER experience..? or more than a year of nursing experience. I don't know.. but you have to consider that most programs are getting more and more competitive. Not to mention the applicant pool. Also, you have ...

You can. If you applied to schools that don't require GRE then there shouldn't be any reason why they wouldn't consider you. That was actually me a year ago. I was taking forever to study for my GRE and I was getting anxious so I decided to apply to ...

I got my acceptance letter today but I'm already committed to another school starting this fall. I'm still sorta considering this though.. check your applications!

I doubt that they'll give everyone a spot in the waiting list and if they do, that'll just make it hard for them. Also, we don't get to hear until June 3rd for the DNP approval and maybe some people will lose interest if that doesn't happen (?) Anywa...

I would give it at least until tomorrow. Maybe they’re still trying to figure out who will be on the waitlist before sending out official letters or something. Have you tried calling?

Thank you! Y’all should be hearing back soon too and make sure to update everyone! They’re calling us one by one so it might take some time edit: I interviewed back on the 24th

Got the call today!

Hey guys just got a call not too long ago for a spot in the program!

Yeah, they said by this week. Notifications would be done via phone call followed by an email is what they said. Goodluck everyone!

Hey! Congrats to those people who got accepted! I just got an email and I found out that I'm on the waitlist. So I'm still hopeful haha For those still waiting, I hope you guys get some good news soon!

Hopefully it will be well worth it!

hahaha I'm glad I'm not the only one! lol!

Yeah, it says that the decisions will be released by May 15th

haha did anyone else have a mini heart attack with that email? lol anyway, the more I think about it, the more I realize how badly I answered some of the questions in the interview! oh well, it's a good experience regardless! I do hope the majority o...

Good luck on your interview at Villanova! and yup, I agree! The program seems like it does have a nice support system in place. I can't wait to hear back from them!

haha yeah, I was thinking the same thing! are you applying elsewhere, TPN?

Congrats everyone!

I interviewed back in March and I remember them saying that the admissions committee will meet mid-late April and the decisions will be sent out early May.

Not so sure, but pretty curious as well! I tried looking for the old thread but I can't seem to find it. It looks like another thread was started for this cohort though ?
