Hiii everyone! Submitted my app today and hopped on here and figured I'd create a forum for those applying to 2026 cohort! Good luck everyone 🙂

Did it tell you guys where you were on the waitlist?

In the email confirming you accept being on the waitlist it says "There is no rank order to the waitlist. "

I got that email too but then in my portal for my formal waitlist letter it told me where I was on the waitlist but not my a number

How do they pick people if we're not ranked? Is it randomized?

this is the letter I had in my portal, is it not the same as yours?

"On behalf of the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, I would like to thank you for submitting an application to the Nurse Anesthesia DNP Program at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. I regret to inform you that due to limited positions and the competitiveness of the overall applicant pool, all available seats for the 2026 Summer entering class have been filled at this time.

If you are interested in being placed on the waitlist, please submit the Waitlist Reply Form by June 05, 2025.

If we are unable to move your application from the waitlist in time to start for 2026 Summer, your application will be inactivated. If you are interested in being considered for a future term, you would need to submit a new online application at that time."

Looking at other school's pages it looks like one of the admitted students usually makes one. I haven't seen one yet for this class. Someone should make one and let us know so we can join! Would love to connect with my future classmates
