What are the chances of getting into PSU Main? Willing to go to summer session

PSU nursing at UP is extremely competitive and now that they accept the common app, they receive even more apps. Definitely apply early and mark off summer as a potential start date. Your GPA is solid but your SAT is on the lower end for UP…25th percentile starts at about 1250 and they do not superscore. If you want to cram and take it once more, go for it. My daughter is in program and loves it…when she’s not totally stressed out from juggling classes and clinicals.

Also, there’s substantially less playtime for the nursing students so make sure this is what you really want.

@Sophley Thank you very much for the information! I appreciate it. Good luck to your daughter.

Hi we have almost the same stats and I was wondering if you got accepted. I haven’t heard back and I’m getting so scared ?

@“zoey.hammmm” My daughter heard last Friday that she was accept to University Park for the summer session. Good luck to you! I know the waiting is hard.
