Getting in to Penn State UP Nursing?

<p>I am a high school senior waiting to hear back about my application to PSU's nursing program. Can anyone give me information about how selective/competitive it is or average stats? Anything?</p>

<p>Here are some of my stats:</p>

<p>SAT: 2090
ACT: 31
GPA: 3.8W
Rank: N/A
School: Private/Catholic
Out of State
NY
17 total AP/Honors classes
ECs:
School Band, Stage Crew, NHS, Varsity Soccer, Junior Volunteer at Hospital, part time job
Submitted my app early September </p>

<p>Also, I've heard nursing students don't hear back until late January. Is this true for all nursing students?</p>

<p>Anyone?</p>

<p>You might want to post your question in the Nursing Major forum. </p>

<p>I would like to know the same thing. I have similar stats as yours (OOS, 31 ACT, 3.98W GPA, 20+ AP/Honors classes) and am waiting to hear back from the nursing program, as well. From what I have researched online, my stats will be on the low end (at least my GPA) to what they normally accept for UP Nursing, but I figured I would give it a shot, as it’s a great school and I have family in the area. Where did you hear that they release decisions the end of January? </p>

<p>Also, I applied to seven different schools (for nursing or pre-nursing) and have heard back from all of them, except for Penn State. </p>

<p>Didn’t hear from anywhere official, but I’ve seen it mentioned on threads about the topic from a year or two ago. It seems like all nursing decisions are released at the same time and they definitely take their time releasing them. </p>
