Greetings fellow 2018 UPenn BSN/MSN applicants! Just thought I could start a thread for the incoming applicants so we can help each other out through the application process. Does anyone know if we need to submit separate transcripts for study abroad programs if it's already clearly stated on our official undergraduate transcript? Thanks! : )
rls2018 32 Posts Jul 24, 2017 Also applying! Best of luck to you :) I would submit those study abroad transcripts just to be safe, as the application requests transcripts from "all colleges attended".
futureAGPCNP 55 Posts Jul 25, 2017 You're right, better to just be safe : ) good luck to you as well!

ElizaP12 7 Posts Aug 28, 2017 I do believe you have to send in each transcript individually (even from study abroad!)Is everyone submitting GRE scores to the ABSN program even though they are not required? My GPA is a bit lower (3.5) but my experience in the health care field is fairly good! I'm hoping to boost my application in any way as UPenn is my top choice!
futureAGPCNP 55 Posts Sep 2, 2017 I'm applying for both BSN and MSN so I'm definitely submitting my GRE scores. You should call their office and ask them what they think!
PrayingForPMHNP 14 Posts Sep 15, 2017 I did not submit my GRE scores primarily because I already have a MSSW and this program did not require it either. I'm super excited about more 2018 applicants finding out about this thread. I have read the entire 2016 thread for some insight and hope that this one will begin rolling shortly! Good Luck to everyone!
rls2018 32 Posts Sep 15, 2017 I submitted my application! Eager for the process to get rolling. I submitted my GRE scores because I'm applying to the BSN/MSN program.
PrayingForPMHNP 14 Posts Sep 16, 2017 I am applying to the BSN/MSN as well! Penn just does not require for applicants with a Masters in another field to submit and I took the opportunity! I look forward to keeping up with each of our timelines along the way!

I applied for the PMHNP specialty with a 3.36 undergrad GPA in an unrelated field and GRE scores of 157v, 157q, 5.0w. Those stats themselves aren't particularly strong, but I'm hoping the other parts of my application will be I guess we'll see!Best of luck to everyone!
