Penn State Main & UDel?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi everyone!
I'm currently a senior attending college next fall and have already sent all of my applications out. I'm planning on majoring in nursing, which I know is very competitive at PSU and UDel, but I put a second choice as biological sciences. I'm curious of my chances into the nursing BSN Major.</p>

<p>Freshman year-
honors geometry
honors physics
honors American history
honors English</p>

<p>sophomore year
honors chem
honors algebra 2
honors English
world history</p>

<p>junior year
ap biology 1
ap biology 2
ap psychology
honors pre calc
English 11</p>

<p>Senior year
ap political science
ap calc AB
enlgish 12
forensic science</p>

<p>Also, as part or a program run through my high school I'm dual enrolled at Penn state berks campus taking 4 credits in Chem and 4 in Bio. I also take classes at the Reading School of Health Sciences, and every Friday I job shadow a different department in the Reading hospital. All of this takes up the first 1/2 of my day and replace what would be my morning classes at my High school, I return to my High school for my afternoon classes.
(Entry into this program was very competitive they only took 2 students from 14 schools)</p>

<p>my cumulative GPA at the end of my junior year was 4.05 but my SATS were only a 1700 I did not score well.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I’m a nursing student at PSU graduating in May. It is an absolutely amazing program…clinicals were challenging and I experienced a lot and we have a simulation lab that is so high-tech it’s crazy! Most PSU nursing students get hired immediately and are pulled off orientation early because we know so much. I can tell you that they really care about extracurricular activities – I volunteered at hospitals and had volunteer experiences in other healthcare environments. Also, SAT does matter highly, so I don’t know how that will affect you. You cannot transfer into the program if you don’t get accepted right away, but you can get a 4 year degree in something else (such as bio) and then do the accelerated BSN program through Altoona (I believe it’s 18 months). Good luck!</p>
