UPENN BSN MSN 2020

Updated:   Published

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.

@maroon2019 it depends on whether you are traditional or accelerated student. The ABSN is about 165K but there is lot of scholarships to offset that cost. That said even with scholarships you could still be in like 80K.

I’ve been accepted into the ABSN/MSN program. Do you mean together they are 165k, or the ABSN itself is 165k?

@maroon2019 just the ABSN however some of your classes at the ABSN level will count towards your MSN. Lot of nuances so reach out to Filomena especially if you are looking for one quote for both programs.

But here are links to the ABSN and MSN cost

Accepted to PMHNP! Super excited but I’m wondering when we will hear back about financial aid? I know we had to submit documents earlier this year so that our acceptances could be close in time with financial aid packages...

Hi all, I was accepted to BSN-MSN adult primary! I spoke to financial aid today. You need to submit you and your parent's tax forms for 2018 along with both FAFSAs. I love Penn so much but I really don't know how to afford this...current students, what did you do?

Accepted to the BSN + MSN Pediatric Acute Care NP specialty! Anyone have any idea on when we will hear about financial aid? Would scholarships have been included in the acceptance letter? Congratulations everyone!

Congrats! I know, the program is so expensive. I just called financial aid and they said they only deal with graduate loans so I talked to someone in the School of Nursing and they said financial aid packages will be sent out within a week or so depending on if you submitted your FAFSAs and tax documents!

@aspiringcnm3 So this is what I gathered for you. All decisions went out this week. If you didn't get a response at all (acceptance/rejection) , there is a chance your application is incomplete or put in the wrong folder. If this is true please email Filomena ASAP and let her know you didn't get a decision.

Thank you! I appreciate it. I spoke with financial aid and have a better idea of cost now. Waiting to hear back about scholarships/aid next week.

Accepted for FNP! Congrats to everyone ?

I would love to go here, but also very concerned about the cost...

Also has anyone made a facebook group yet?
