Hi,
If possible, could y’all give me some idea of what chance I have at getting into the nursing school at UPenn (ED or RD)? After school, I want to help bring medical care to impoverished communities (like a missionary nurse). Below is some info about me.
Note: At my school, unless you transfer from homeschooling and have had the opportunity to take more advanced courses, we can only start taking AP courses Junior year, and many of the AP classes can only be taken Senior year. Also, we have less than 10 AP classes available (which are only available once a day) and we do not have an IB program, as it is a small school.
Race and Gender: White Female
Legacy Status: not a legacy
GPA (as of Sophomore Year)
Unweighted: 4.00
Weighted: 4.54
8th Grade (counted as high school course):
Honors Algebra 1: A
Freshman Grades:
Honors English: A
Honors Geometry: A
Bible (required class and only CP): A
Physical Science (only CP): A
World History (only CP): A
Yearbook: A
Sophomore Grades (as of 3rd quarter, but it looks like it will be my grades for the year):
Honors Civics/ Economics: A
Honors English: A
Bible (still required and CP): A
Honors Algebra 2: A
Chorale (will be honors junior and senior year): A
Honors Biology: A
Classes I Plan to Take Junior Year:
Honors PreCalculus
Honors Chemistry
Bible (required CP)
Honors US History
AP English
Honors Chorale
AP Music Theory
My Senior year, I hope to take AP Chemistry, AP English, AP Calculus, and AP US History along with Chorale and maybe another elective.
I am taking Spanish classes online for my foreign language requirement as the classes my school offers do not fit my schedule. I hope to take up to Spanish 3 if possible.
Extracurricular:
-I participate in theatre weekly at Spiritual Twist Productions and am in 2-3 shows a year.
-I volunteer to help run a younger theatre class at the same place weekly and help them put on a full production.
-I am apart of the school praise team which helps lead the school in worship during chapel.
-I was part of the Girls Buddies Club and will be co-directing it next year.
-Although Chorale is a class, I count it as an extracurricular because we perform at many church concerts throughout the year and are performing at Carnegie Hall this summer.
-I am part of Beta Club.
Other things:
-I did All-State choir.
-I was elected as Sophomore representative for homecoming.
In the next two years, I plan to continue all of my extra curricular and I hope to get involved in more volunteering that has to do with nursing (there is a local medical ministry I hope to get involved with in some way). Academically, I hope to continue to take as many honors and AP classes as possible, hoping to take 2 AP classes next year and 4 my Senior year.
Thanks,
Macey
