<p>I have a question. I applied ed to penn and was deferred unfortunately and hoping to get in. I have a question, about how many males are in the Upenn nursing program. I didn’t apply to it but was just curious as my mom is a nurse.</p>
<p>you know I've actually been wondering that same exact thing...</p>
<p>i think in my class '08 there are like 4-5 and they're all in the wharton/nursing program.</p>
<p>when i spoke with the head of nursing there this summer (Marianne Smith, i do believe), she said that traditionally 10-15% of the class is male, but has been steadily growing. My tour guide said that if you're a male applying to the program, that you have to especially show why you want to be a NURSE, because sometimes guys who just really want to transfer to Wharton apply to the program.</p>
