UPMC Shadyside in Pittsburgh

Published

Is there anyone here from UPMC Shadyside in Pittsburgh? I've applied there for their Evening/Weekend program and I'm going crazy waiting to hear if I'm in or not. Good luck to everyone else who is waiting!

Specializes in Med-Surg, Cardiac.

I'm finishing up my second term in the full time day program at Shadyside SON. Am really enjoying it, though kind of tired right now (week 14 of the 16 week term).

Have you been in touch with them? Did they let you know when they'd let you know? I think I got my acceptance letter around the beginning of May. You could always call and ask them when you can expect a reply.

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply! I took the PSB test on Dec. 2 and did really well on it.

I spoke to them in the beginning of March to make sure all of my application materials were in, and they told me that they would be starting to look at the files in a couple of weeks, but not to expect anything for awhile. It's driving me crazy! Maybe I should just call and ask about the status of things.

Also, do you know if the entrance exam is one of the main things that they look at? I've been out of school for awhile, so I don't know how my high school transcript could be of any value, and although I sent my college transcripts, I wasn't a science major, so I just wonder what is most important in your file?
