Hello Lilian! Thank you for giving us your honest thoughts about Penn Nursing! I am a sophomore in high school, and I want to go to Penn in the future and pursue nursing. I really want to build up my extracurriculars and I am wondering if you have any suggestions on what I could do? Thanks again!
Sorry for the late response! I would suggest to do anything related to nursing/medical field! For example healthcare clubs at school, volunteering at the hospital or nursing home, or some summer pre-med programs on college campuses. These extracurriculars aren't just to build up your resume but it's to confirm for yourself whether or not nursing is something you want to seriously pursue. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Hi! I’m a senior in high school interested in applying to the dual degree nursing and healthcare management. How were your grades, extra curricular, and sat scores. What did you mainly talk about in your writing? Did you apply ed or regular decision?
Hi! I applied RD because there are a lot of local nursing schools in california (where I’m from) so I wanted to compare offers. I had a 4.0, 1530 SAT, 6 APs, and my extra curricular ranged from student government, FBLA, nursing home volunteering, and church volunteering. My essays were focused on a personal relational conflict I had in the past (common app) rather than based on a passion or extracurricular. My penn essay was focused on how my past related to nursing/business and how I would apply myself in nursing/business at Penn in the future. Hope that helps!
This is a lifesaver. Currently debating between UCLA and UPenn! I applied to biology for both- and unfortunately had a career change AFTER I submitted my apps. I heard that UPenn I can do an internal transfer from the College of Arts and Sciences into Nursing. How difficult would that be? Or is it even possible at all?
Glad this video was helpful :) At Penn you can definitely do an internal transfer. If you start talking with your advisor at the start of Freshman year, you can def finish in 4 years on a normal schedule. I know that at UCLA though they don't accept internal transfers into the School of Nursing, only external transfers (like 2 years community college then 2 years at UCLA nursing). Just something to keep in mind!
@@LilianChen thank you so much!! Someone had told me it was basically impossible to transfer from A & S -> Nursing and I honestly got scared off. This is really reassuring to hear and I’m probably sending my SIR by the end of this week!!
Hi Lilian, Are nursing students at Penn allowed to work for the 20 hours a week for international students? Are there summer programs in June or July for those joining the Nursing school where one can report to camous early for the programs?
Hii I actually don't know too many international students in the nursing program but I do know a few that worked part time jobs. I believe it's the same regulations as any other undergrad at Penn. There are a few summer programs at Penn to support students from more low-income backgrounds transition that I think are free/subsidized(?), but there are also four pre-orientation programs that are just a few days to one week (Pennacle, Pennquest, Pennarts, etc) but those you have to pay for.
Hi, so I watched quite a few channels on here and could not really find the answer, so here it goes: after the standard clinical rotation, do you get to pick any specialties? If so, how many? I read that you could pick your top 3....if that is true, and there are too many requests for not enough spots, do you get picked based on your grades? Thank you for your time, and good luck!
So the standard clinical rotations are: OB, med-surge, geriatrics, psych, peds, then community. For your final leadership rotation, you can choose between any of them, but there are limited spots. I unfortunately did not get placed where I wanted, because the spots I chose (Peds and ICU) were high demand. I think you can rank 7-8 spots but you have to be specific about the floors (ex: Pediatric ICU, or pediatric emergency department, etc.) The spots were chosen supposedly based on GPA (but I'm doubtful of this). Let me know if you have any other q's!
Thank you so much for this! I have a question, was anyone becoming a nurse that you know of also a student althete? My goal is to play soccer and my dream is to play soccer at Penn but also become a nurse. Because of the rigorus program I don't even know if I can accomplish it.
Hi! I know a nursing student who also was on the track and field team. I’m sure it’s not easy but also Penn will accommodate you as much as possible! It’s definitely not impossible :)

@@LilianChen Thank you for your response! Do you have any specific summer programs that you suggest?
Hopefully you get into Penn, I'm actually applying to Penn Nursing too.

Hi.what text books are followed there.

Did the school give you guys scrubs after resumption in nursing school
We had to buy scrubs ourselves every year (around $50+ per pair if I remember correctly) unfortunately haha
The financial aid doesn’t cover that ?
