Any nervous nursing students out there??!

<p>hahaha thanks guys!
I really want to watch slumdog millionaire so bad but it seems like every time i try to, i never get to it.. like going to theatre and being sold out.. getting it online but falling asleep haha.
anyways, about my stats, its such a general question lol
for one thing, i am passionate about what i want to do and im confident about nursing. we hear so soooon! :)</p>

<p>oh btw, </p>

<p>i found a group "upenn nursing 2013" on facebook. it has 20 members whom im guessing got in ED. Just thought id share!</p>

<p>ooo cool! The thing is that i dont have a facebook, but im more than willing to make one. O! and u HAVE to see slumdog, its soo good....especially the cool bollywood dancing at the end :P</p>

<p>haha dude, facebook is so useful! you should make one! :)
and i will make sure to watch slumdog!!
Cant wait for tomorrow!! sigh i really hope we hear back tom!!</p>

<p>I know! I've been kind of just slacking and putting off hw a bit because i cant think of anything else BUT my penn nursing decision. If we dont here back by tomm, im just gonna be like "w/e" and go back to my usual geek-routine lol. Btw, when u were looking at that facebook nursing group were there any other guys on there who made it into nursing, or was it all female?</p>

<p>There was one definite male dude and one name without a photo that may be male or female?!?!</p>

<p>hey everyone! good luck from a ED nursing applicant
don't worry about it, the acceptance rate for Penn nursing is pretty high.. higher than any other of the penn schools..i remember it was like 80% for ED lol...higher than state schools lol.....there are about 100 spots in the class.....72 applied to nursing ED and i think about 50 got in ED</p>

<p>don't forget to join the nursing group on Facebook if u get in!! lol we are a little weak on numbers compared to the other school's groups</p>

<p>sweet, so there are 1.5 guys who have already been accepted lol!</p>

<p>lol i think there is like 2 or 3 guys in the penn nursing group lol</p>

<p>OH dear StarCrane- I was hoping there were more spots- only fifty spots left??? CU4L91 had numbers that gave me more hope!!! Are you saying there are only 100 per class, with 400 total undergraduates in the Nursing School?</p>

<p>Congratulations to you StarCrane-you are in a sweet spot!</p>

<p>yea sry....that's what the admissions officer at the info session said...
not exactly 100 perhaps 110 sometimes...but yea about 400 lol
oh wow haha sry i had a miss calculation......there were about 72 applicants for ED for nursing this yr and penn said that ED is 47% of the class...so about 33 ppl.....so there is about 70-80 more spots?
yep thanks! ED felt good lol</p>

<p>Starcrane- Just wondering, when you were accepted was it via the Penn Portal, snailmail, or another means?</p>

<p>penn portal.....on ED day i think it was dec.11th? at 3PM when u go to the Penn portal page...it turns into a decisions page and u can log in and the acceptance/rejected/defer letter is the first thing u see</p>

<p>Well 80 spots is better news- and with RD I would think they accept 130-150 because the yield is lower (not binding)-</p>

<p>Soooooo, if we only knew how many applied RD....my guess would be 350ish???</p>

<p>Do I sound pathetic? Anyone else with number info???</p>

<p>Thank you Star Crane! Did your Penn Portal lock up before D-DAY? (Mine is locked???)</p>

<p>no problem!
well i know that 19,179 ppl applied total to penn from RD this yr. about 2-3% applies for nursing....so i say about 380-400...yea ur right they probably accept 120-150 just for if ppl rejects penn(dn why anyone would ever want to do that lol) so 30-40% acceptance rate..which makes sense from previous years
haha no.....but penn computing is messed up this year.....i remember the day before ED....some ppl could see their decisions..that was funny..but penn fixed it later</p>

<p>okay...i guess i can't just sit here and watch all 3 or 4 of you have all the fun. I got in ED into the nursing school, too, but I'm in the Nursing and Healthcare Management program. So, anyway, good luck. I'm really excited for you guys. Btw, starcrane, are you going to Penn Previews for nursing this coming April?</p>

<p>It is very quiet tonight fellow nursing applicants....anybody, anything???</p>

<p>Congrats Kickmyfries...</p>

<p>hey! ok so i'm not waiting to hear back from upenn nursing, but i deff. want to go there next year and probs will apply early... any advice? my sats are (as of right now) M:650 CR:760 W:780, but my gpa is only 3.6 unweighted.... i'm so nervous already and i still have A YEAR OF WAITING </p>

<p>good luck btw!!!! any good news?</p>

<p>oooo globalhealthgirl! I did find out that the nursing school PLANS on releasing the decisions THIS friday. no worries...only 4 more days....<strong>SIIIGGGGHHHH</strong>* :P</p>
