UPENN ABSN 2020

Hi everyone!

I think the previous thread for this cohort got deleted so I'm starting a new one. This thread is for anyone who has applied to UPENN's ABSN program for Summer 2020.

What programs within the ABSN did everyone apply to (Second degree BSN, BSN-MSN, BSN-PHD)? I applied to the Second Degree program.

Good luck & I'm looking forward to hearing from everyone! ?

Thats awesome, good luck! The ABSN/Phd applicants might be hearing back from UPENN within the next couple of weeks for interviews right?

Hi! I only applied to the ABSN program. Anyone interested in sharing stats?

@dgaz13 Thank you. Heard back couple of weeks ago. Interview is in January

@lavieenrose more than happy to share that privately. What is your background ?

I applied to the ABSN program.

@lavieenrose

Overall GPA: 3.93
Pre-requisite GPA: 4.0
5 years of clinical research experience in oncology both with direct patient contact and project management
CCRP certified

@lavieenrose That is a pretty impressive resume. I really don't see why you won't make it ?. Sending lot of prayers your way.

Happy New Decade, all!

I am a career changer. After almost a decade in the startup world, I'm transitioning to nursing. I was unfocused in my undergrad years and graduated as quickly as I could (3 years) with a GPA of 2.67.

Since having returned back to school, I've taken most of my prereqs and have earned As and am continuing to work hard to maintain my 4.0. My undergrad GPA combined with my 4.0 leads to a combined GPA of 3.0 which is low enough that I won't be surprised if I don't get accepted.

Overall GPA: 3.0
Pre-requisite GPA: 4.0
Experience:

  • 8+ years of tech experience, 2+ years of digital healthcare experience
  • 1 year of direct patient care experience as an Early Interventionist working with little ones w development delays

@lavieenrose I can now send private messages. You need to post for a while before you are allowed to send private messages. Thus, if you don't want to pay. I sent you DM.

@lavieenroseUpdate: DM didn't come through because you can't receive messages lol. The struggle is real.

@El Primus indeed ? I tried messaging you and wasn't able to.

Are you waiting with anticipation for the decision? It seems like we won't hear until Feb!

Yeah !! Haha but I feel good. ABSN decisions will be out first week in February. I will have to wait to find out about PhD as well. So my sleepless nights won't end first week of Feb. I'm praying for y'all ??
