2016 UPenn BSN/MSN Applicants

Published

Hi all,

I couldn't find a thread for the UPenn BSN/MSN 2016 summer applicants, so I decided to start one. I think it will be a great way for us to connect and support each other.

Is anyone else on here currently applying?

Best of luck.

Another applicant posted on here that she called the admissions office last and was told decisions would be released this week. PENN did not specify a date.

I see a few similar names on the Vanderbilt thread. Out of curiosity, did anyone else apply to Yale's program? If so, were you accepted into their program?

Hi all! I am also eagerly awaiting hearing back from UPenn :) I've been interviewing at various schools and am trying to compile differences between all of these programs. Does anyone happen to know what the drop-out/attrition rate is for those in the foundation year? Does anyone also happen to know what the protocol is for students who perform poorly in a course -- do they have to step out of the program for a time or they able to continue with courses and simply re-take the one they did poorly in?

I am wondering if we won't end up hearing by the dates they originally told us

How is everyone feeling today?!? This waiting game is rough!

FutureNPisMe, from what I remember from the orientation over 90% of people who start the program finish it. I got the impression that there is an enormous amount of support available if students need or want it - one of the many things I love about PENN :)

blueandgold1919, what program did you apply for?

Would anyone care to share their stats/interview experiences? I applied to the midwifery program with bachelors degrees in political science and criminal justice & a minor in women's studies, 3.95 overall GPA, 4.0 prereq GPA, about 3,000 healthcare hours - mostly from work as a live-in caregiver, 5 months of volunteer work in the outpatient surgery unit at a local hospital, doula training and certification, one year of on-call volunteer doula work and The Farm's midwifery assistant training and certification. I now own my own photography company. I was rejected at UCSF and Yale before interviewing, but felt AMAZING about UPENN and thought my interview went pretty well considering how nervous I was! Anyone else in a similar boat?

ahopefulNP, I'm confident we'll know by Friday! I feel like if the deadline was still between the 2-10, the person ignisviridae spoke with would have confirmed that when she called in last week. Instead he mentioned notifications being posted "at some time this week" without mentioning a date.

*fingers crossed*

I caved and called admissions. They told me that admissions come out sometime next week.

Who did you talk to? I tried calling and I couldn't get through
