Is everyone submitting their Penn essays in 12pt font? The prompt doesn't specify how large the font should be, and I am tempted to change my essays to 11pt font so I can fit more information in. Do...
Bardone, That is so generous! Thank you for the offer but I actually have a couple books and a set of Barron's flash cards. I have been making my way through the books, but I am just a little bit...
That was a wonderful recap, hopeful! I left the chat feeling really great about Penn--with the exception of the details about tuition, yikes. I am probably going to attend the next chat session as...
Kdiem!You should absolutely still apply. They said that a "below average" score on the GRE is not necessarily reason enough to dismiss an application. They even said that they accept GPAs lower than...
Hey PNP, I have been wondering about that! I heard that they had done away with ED, but once I started the application and I saw the option for it I assumed I had misheard. Thank you so much for...
Thank you PNPhopeful!I am applying to Columbia, Yale, U Penn, JHU, Vanderbilt, Boston College (WHNP), and OHSU. Columbia is far and away my first choice, and Yale is a strong second. I do worry about...
Hi Bardone, My application is coming along, but I am a bit worried about my GRE. I am not able to take it for another week and a half. I really hope my scores make it to admissions in time! How is...
To those of you who have already taken the GRE, How much did you focus on memorizing vocabulary? It almost seems like an impossible task! My test is coming up so soon and I am trying to be prepared...
Hi PNPhopeful, I definitely think you should apply! Columbia does a wonderful job at looking at the applicant holistically. I would say you should try and do as well as you can on the GRE, write a...
Hi everyone! I've been following this thread for a while now, but I decided to finally participate. I just got off of the phone with admissions and they told me that we could start submitting our...
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. I live in San Francisco right now, and I'm originally from San Diego and so that's why I'm considering applying to their CNL programs. I figured I could still make...
Hi everyone!I am new to the thread and I am very happy to have found it. I have been posting on specific program's forums in a sad attempt to get them more active, but I guess everyone is over here! I...
Hi ARickli, I am also nearly done with my application! I am meeting with my recommenders one last time and I have GRE's planned for September 15th. I'm a little worried that I planned them too late...
Hi Halliesf, I almost feel like you are my twin. Our names are nearly the same, I got my BS in Women and Gender Studies and I am currently working for eBay (might as well be a tech company) as a...
I am happy to see there is someone else out there who is applying to Penn. I am actually applying to the same track. I am so nervous and excited. Application due dates are coming up fast and I am...
It turns out that I'm not going to have my BS in time to apply. What a disappointment I might make an appointment with the assistant dean and see if they can make an exception since I only have one...
I'm planning on attending the information session at UCSF tomorrow night. Is anyone else going? If you're out of state or cant make an information session before you apply, let me know if you have any...
Hi Ginamarie and ARickli! Welcome I'm considering applying to NYU as well. Do you happen to know how easy it is to transfer from the accelerated BSN program to the MSN program at NYU? Based on what I...
Yeah! I'm excited to see that this thread has already been started. I just finished reading through every single page and post on the 2012 thread. I'm applying to the Nurse-Midwifery track. I'm pretty...
