2018 UPenn BSN/MSN

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

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! : )

I've been counting down the days bc I submitted my app in July lol so nervous but ready to hear back from Penn. Hopefully good news!

Same here, I also submitted in July as well. They did say that if we aren't sent an interview invite for BSN/MSN we would be considered for the BSN 2nd Degree program so there is another way to get into the program if not BSN/MSN. I hope it is good news as well!

I've been so anxious myself. Good luck to everyone. Hopefully we will all be reporting back this Tuesday :)

So when will the FNP hear back?

The email we got literally says early February...................

I had already interviewed so I guess that's why I didn't get this email. Thanks!

Yeah futureAGPCNP! I was about to post and ask if you got invited as well. Are you planning on visiting or doing the interview by phone? I'm kind of torn as I would love to visit the campus but December flights are expensive and I have work obligations as well.

Was so thrilled and humbled to receive an interview invitation! I'm so incredibly happy :) Congrats to all who received good news today!

@TangoDeux I actually booked a flight out to Philly a few weeks ago on Southwest Airlines to lock in a good rate and because I'd be able to cancel if I didn't get an interview! I have a couple friends who did the phone interview and they got in :) I'm personally more comfortable and confident in my abilities to communicate who I am in-person so I had no doubt I'd choose the in person interview if I was offered one.

@rls2018 Nice congrats!! Which specialty? :)

Yes, totally agree with you about being more comfortable talking in person rather then on the phone. I also think I convey my thoughts better when I am actually in front of an interviewer as well.

I was no where near as confident about my chances of getting an interview so I didn't want to jinx it by buying a ticket before I was offered an interview slot. I did think about it when the notification about dates and deadlines came through from FC but ultimately decided to hold off until I was offered an interview which I now have! I'm excited (if you can't tell lol!)

I will start checking on flights and places to stay and see if it makes sense for me to go in person.
