2019 UPENN BSN/MSN

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hey everyone! I started this thread for this years application cycle.

I attended the FNP webinar today. Filomena said application decisions should be posted sometime between February 10th and 15th. An email will go out a couple days in advance with the final date.

Hi! I was unable to attend today's FNP webinar. Trying to watch the recording that was sent out, I unfortunately can't hear any sound. Would someone that was able to listen in provide any helpful tips or answers to any good questions that may have been asked? Thanks so much!

I’m a little disheartened. I am strictly an ABSN applicant and I have not received any correspondence about an interview date. I know others have... (I bet they’re probably done by now to stay on their timeline)

I did email F.C. in December about interviews; if they were mandatory, or if applicants in the past have gotten in without one. No response even after a reminder email ?. Oh well.. I really thought I was a competitive applicant.

I should be grateful w/ the other programs that are shaping to be promising.

Good luck all! Come on Penn!!!!

Hi all! Has anyone who's ABSN only heard about interviews?

Anxiously awaiting - according to last year's board we should have about a month until we find out!

Hi! I was ABSN/MSN but they moved me to just the ABSN track back in November. I interviewed at the end of Nov and believe decisions are coming out early Feb! Fingers crossed!

What was your MSN specialty?

When they switched you did they email or call? What did they say?

My MSN specialty was midwifery. When they switched me they emailed saying they would not proceed with my specialty but, if I was interested, would proceed with the ABSN and schedule an interview for that. I agreed, filled out a form for my availability, and less than a week later they sent a follow up email to schedule the date.

Does anyone know when they’ll be sending anything out for the MSN fall 2019 part time applicants? I sent my app out in November, got an email saying my application was ready for review on 1/3, and nothing since.

Not sure that I could summarize the presentation in a few key points since it was so info-packed!

I just checked the recording on my laptop and it does have sound. Doesn't seem to be compatible with my iPhone though.
