<p>I plan to apply as a nursing student at the University of Pennsylvania this fall as an early decision applicant.
3.8 weighted GPA
32 ACT and 30 on the writing section
A few after school clubs
Total of 7 seasons of varsity sports (not a recruited athlete)
Pretty good recommendations</p>
<p>Is it even worth applying with my stats? I know everything is on the lower end.</p>
<p>I also have 5 total AP classes junior and senior year. Ranked in the top 20% (at least it’s not the bottom 80%)</p>
<p>The nursing school wants to see that you understand what you’ll be doing as a nurse and really want to do it. I don’t see anything in your application that shows you’ve done that research.</p>
<p>Thanks for the response, bro! I shadowed a nurse, I’ll try to emphasize that when I apply.</p>
<p>I’ll apply and try not to embarrass myself.</p>
