<p>Keeping with nursing schools around the country, the class of 2014 heard from admissions Friday**</p>

<p>The Nursing School continues its trend of selectivity.</p>

<p>Nursing admissions decisions were sent out to the class of 2014 Friday. Approximately 20-percent of the nearly 500 applicants were accepted, according to Dean of Admissions Eric Furda.</p>

<p>Applications have increased 26-percent since last year.</p>

<p>As with Penn's other undergraduate schools, the Nursing class of 2014 will be the most selective ever, Furda explained.</p>

<p>Unlike other applicants, however, nursing students do not have to wait until April 1st to find out whether or not they have been accepted.</p>

<p>Penn notifies the Nursing applicants of their admission status over a month before College, Engineering and Wharton applicants because other nursing schools send decisions in late February.</p>

<p>“We don’t want to be at a competitive disadvantage,” Furda explained.

<p>Congrats to all the admitted nurses. I highly recommend attending the preview weekend at the Nursing school in early April - that’s what sold my d on the program a few years ago. They do a very nice job of recruiting the best!</p>
