<p>i have a few general questions regarding penn nursing</p>
<p>a) do you need extensive (or any) nursing experience?
b) what are the stats/expectations
c) what are the acceptance rates?
d) if you find you dont love nursing can you transfer to the college or wharton?</p>
<p>a) no nursing experience needed(although being an emt or volunteering at a hospital or something wouldn't hurt), but you should probably be able to give a solid answer for why you want to be a nurse. </p>
<p>b) average stats are slightly lower but still in line with overall average stats for other schools at Penn. you should still be looking at 700s on all sat sections, etc</p>
<p>c) not sure</p>
<p>d) not automatically. nursing to wharton would be pretty hard, but still doable. nursing to college is more likely if you have a solid gpa.</p>
<p>does anyone know how long it usually takes to be able to transfer out of the program?</p>
<p>i believe you have to wait at least one year before trying to transfer to another school.</p>
<p>The rules for transfering between schools is exactly the same for all students at Penn, including nursing students.</p>
<p>so you have to wait at least one year?</p>
<p>nursing is NOT a backdoor entrance to penn. they'll see through you so fast it's not even funny. </p>
<p>if you're asking all of these questions about transferring already, i don't think this is the school for you.</p>
<p>hahaha good call</p>
<p>With regards to the backdoor admissions (not to anyone in particular, just in general)...</p>
<p>Do you really think that you (ie hypothetical person) would be the first person to try to find a backdoor to admission in the school of your choice? If not, do you really think the school would be stupid enough to let it continue?</p>
<p>lol @ chillax, what a tool.</p>
