<p>Does anyone know if the Nursing applicants get reviewed by the School of Nursing? Or are they just accepted through the regional admissions officer? </p>
<p>Also, do you think that less than one year of hospital volunteering in a nursing unit will hurt my chances? I am a rising senior... i start hospital volunteering this summer and will be doing it throughout the schoolyear. However, i have been involved in independent research, which is why a lot of my time has been taken up. </p>
<p>Try your question over at the Penn forum where you might find some Penn nursing students or parents.</p>
<p>??
Does Penn have Direct -Admit for nursing?</p>
<p>Did you change your mind? you were premed. Your stats are good for a premed student.</p>
<p>^^Penn does have direct admit for nursing. And my friend’s D got into Penn nursing without any significant time volunteering at a hospital (she did science independent research and worked at a suicide hotline). And I’d agree that you’d have better chance of getting a good answer if you post this on the Penn thread.</p>
<p>According to a friend who’s directly involved in admissions, all nursing applicants have a special interview with a school officer who especially wants to explore their commitment to nursing (not, for example, med school). That’s all I know.</p>
