*Had interview at nursing school in April, went well</p>

<p>I'd just like an honest opinion of my chances in the nursing school! Thanks so much and good luck to everyone applying to Penn!</p>

<p>Wow, those objectives are outstanding! Triple captain to top it all off. If you wrote a good essay and have good recs, I would say your chances are good, and I do not say that often. Legacy does help with ED, so I think you will be getting that acceptance letter a month and a week (or so) from now, and I don’t say that a lot!</p>

<p>thank you! I hope so, I’m freaking out haha :P</p>

<p>does anyone know how many students apply to the nursing school? the associate director of admissions told me a little over 500 applicants - I was just wondering, has this number risen?</p>

<p>500 ED? holy crap</p>

<p>For what it’s worth, for the Class of 2014, the overall acceptance rate for the Nursing School was 20%:</p>

<p>[The</a> Daily Pennsylvanian :: Nursing School admits 20 percent for 2014](<a href=“http://thedp.com/index.php/article/2010/02/nursing_school_admits_20_percent_for_2014]The”>Nursing School admits 20 percent for 2014 | The Daily Pennsylvanian)</p>

<p>Don’t know how much it’s changed since then, if at all.</p>

<p>No, not 500 ED, 500 overall. I’m pretty sure about half apply ED. So I’ve heard.</p>
