UPENN BSN MSN 2020

[Psychmeout2]

With the application deadline in ~30 days I figured, why not make a thread for applicants? I could've sworn I started a thread for this last week but can no longer find it. I'm applying for the PMHNP speciality and although UPenn is a relatively new addition, I have fallen in love with their program. Looking forward to replies from everyone.

They had PhD interviews for PhD applicants today. Usually they find out a week after interviews. So I'm suspecting both ABSN and PhD decisions will come out next week. I suppose she has been very busy today coordinating. For sure ABSN is next week but not sure whether it will be on Friday or over the weekend. Find a nice beach and relax. Y'all will do great.

Has anyone heard back from Filomena? Beginning to let my nervousness get the best of me. Good luck to all!

Nothing yet. Did you email the admissions email as well or just her?

[b2s0n20]

I emailed admissions and CC'ed her about a month or two ago ago with updated copies of my transcripts after I had finished a prereq and she said early Feb. I haven't emailed since then because it seems like early Feb is still the general consensus. I was just hoping someone might have updated information ?

Wow, yeah I haven't back and it's been about a week. Maybe I should email admissions early next week if still nothing ?

Seriously you guys should chill. You gonna get decisions next week. Get some pop corn and enjoy movies and quality time with love ones. Summer is gonna be "hot" for those starting the ABSN. Please do share your decisions next week. Best of luck to everyone.

I know I've been told to "chill" but has anyone heard anything yet? Radio silence..

I spoke to someone in the ABSN program and she said she heard back the second week of February but they also did phone interviews so it may be different

According to these forums last year, people heard back around Feb 6th

Has anyone come across any blogs/youtube channels/etc. from students that have gone through this program? I have a found resources like this for other programs such as Columbia and Vanderbilt and they have been SUPER helpful for getting a realistic student perspective. I haven't been able to find anything of the sort for Penn, but I'm hoping maybe someone else has??

Or even if there is a current student in this thread who wouldn't mind answering a few questions, that would also be helpful.
