<p>CU4L91, where did you hear that from??
THis wait is way too grueling............ any day any day...</p>
<p>I cant give away my sources :P lol. No, but really, its been known that admission directors come on CC all the time and if i told u who told me, it would definetly give me away. All i kno is that I was told directly that they are trying to give decisions out this friday. but note the operative word "trying"</p>
<p>Thank you for the update CU4L91...it feels bittersweet already! It is going to be a LONG week! BTW I hope the adcoms figure out who you are because there is no doubt you will make a fine nurse! I suspect you will rock the school you go to!</p>
<p>Shayz, we will be better able to answer your "chances" after we hear our own results! You are off to a great start on SATs...keep practicing math- I started as a 660 M and ended as a 730 M, 35/36 ACT Math, and then 790 MATH II just by doing EVERY math problem in the blue collegeboard book. The ones I didn't understand I went for extra help and had explained.</p>
<p>awwww! thanks alot globalhealthgirl! to u as well, I hope we both get the "Accepted" decision from penn this friday.</p>
<p>Well CU4L91 I am full of self doubt today. I think I would rather wait until March 31st than find out Friday!!! I guess it is what it is!</p>
<p>thanks so much globalhealthgirl!!!!
good luck =) i'm sure you'll be fine!!</p>
<p>NEWS FLASH! We all know I like numbers. StarCrane has tried to illuminate on the numbers. I think we have some small adjustments in our favor. </p>
<p>Undergraduate Schools
Penn's four undergraduate schools, with their Fall 2008 student populations, are:</p>
<p>The College at Penn (School of Arts and Sciences), 6,404
School of Engineering and Applied Science, 1,609
***<strong><em>School of Nursing, 488 *</em></strong>**
The Wharton School, 1,866</p>
<p><strong><em>So we know that 488/4 students enrolled in undergrad nursing this past Fall 08, which would be 122 per class. We know there are 33 ED's (thank you StarCrane). That leaves us about 90 potential spots. We know Penn has a yield around 65 percent- so do you think they will accept 150-160 applicants for 90 spots??? Any comments on my arithmetic and speculation???</em></strong></p>
<p>AHA! way to figure it out globalhealthgirl <em>virtual high-five</em>. okokok but now the BIG question is....how many students APPLY! because if only like 350 apply and they accept 150-160 then that is GREAT news.</p>
<p>Just guessing, but I think the yield for nursing is much higher than the school overall. It's such a top program than unless there is a financial issue most offers are accepted.</p>
<p>You are probably right momtn. When we receive our decisions we will post applicant numbers (how many applied, how many accepted) so future applicants have the reference. The yield is probably higher for nursing though I wonder how the economy will impact yields. I hope CU4L91 is right about Friday decisions! The waiting is tough!</p>
<p>Omg tommorow at 3pm globalhealthgirl and other fellow nursing applicants. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!</p>
<p>CU4L91 I have a very good feeling you are in....it is going to be a very long 22.5 hours!!!</p>
<p>ahhh, omg. lets hope so. but i seriously think that u will get the big fat "A" for accepted in that email tommorow. Whatever happens, it was such a pleasure meeting my complete opposite on CC, and thanks for the advice and conversation to ease my nerves during this LOOOONG process lol. man...i really hope we get lucky manana! :P</p>
<p>CU4L91- my pleasure as well....ying and yang....it will be awful if they separate us! Lets just have good thoughts for one more night!!!</p>
<p>If you guys don't get into Penn what's your second choice and why ?</p>
<p>GOOD LUCK NURSING APPLICANTS!!</p>
<p>i know the exact feeling of being less than 24 hours away from penn decisions. i wish you the best of luck and hope that you guys can have the pleasure of joining me at penn this fall.</p>
<p>TOMORROW!
