Yay, it worked! =)

Thanks for creating the fb group! But is anybody else having trouble finding it? For some reason, it doesn't show up when I search for it by name on fb. Maybe a privacy setting is in place?

Thanks so much =) I will send you a private message with my specific concerns.

Thank you so much for all that information, sarahcee! I'm curious to know what portion of students switch to different specialties from the ones they start off with, and how easy it is to make the switch while you're completing the BSN portion.

I've been trying to get a feel for the price of housing in neighboring areas. At this point I think I want to rent a 2bed, 2bath apt with 1 or 2 other girls some time in the middle of May. If anybody is interested in being roommies, let me know :) I...

I'm definitely going to be relying on loans just like the majority of us. Has anybody started looking into housing?

That's so reassuring to hear =) Are you originally from Philly? If not, how did you adjust? Also, would you happen to know where I can find the year's academic calendar which includes general start and end dates as well as any breaks?

Hi sweetjane, how did you like the BSN portion so far? I'm just curious what most students do between the BSN and MSN. I know that I would definitely want to take the NCLEX and work right away, but do most students choose to work in Philly before beg...

Thanks for all that information, cchun! I will definitely look into all of your suggestions.

I'm so happy to hear that we're on the same boat! Where in CA will you be moving from? I'm excited too but I have so many questions in my head right now!!...like do I need a car? How am I going to find a place to live? When should I move out? Are peo...

Thanks for all that information! It feels refreshing to hear someone from LA say such positive things about Philly :) I'm also from LA and I love it here. I guess my biggest worry is the "Ivy league culture" at Penn which I've heard some negative thi...

haha, the weather will definitely be something to get used to. Is there anything else that was difficult for you in terms of adjusting?

I also got in for FNP =) Anyone from California making the move?

If you click "contact us" on the website, you can find your counselor based on your last name.

Hello future classmate! :) I called my counselor this morning and she informed me that we are not required to send any GRE scores. I am assuming the 'official test scores' they are referring to is the TOEFL.

I did some more searching and the only official exam they mention is the TOEFL. Hope I'm not missing anything!

I received my letter as well =) In the letter it mentions they need official test scores. I'm assuming they are referring to the GRE, although I didn't see any information about it on the website...and I never sent my scores in when I applied (at lea...

I PM'ed you =)

I applied to the BSN program only. To be honest, I was accepted to an MSN program much closer to home and will likely accept their offer. So this will open up a slot for another hopeful applicant :)

Hi everyone, I received a call this morning to tell me that I was accepted into the program. They said I would be getting the letter in the mail in about a week with further details. I wish you all the best of luck and hope you hear some good news so...

Did you get the email shortly after you noticed the change in solar? I would imagine email is their primary method of notification but who knows... Either way, no email for me yet and my solar still looks the same. I interviewed at the end of October...

Congrats everyone! I haven't heard and my SOLAR still looks same...I also wonder if the changes to solar/emails sent out will happen in batches.

Thanks!

LOL alright, just a suggestion...and probably something I myself would consider at this point. Good luck with the apt hunting!

Does anybody know when the first day of classes is? @realdream I don't know where you're moving from, but since you received such a late notification, maybe you can ask them if it's possible to defer and begin in the Fall.
