I'm glad there's such a camraderie between you guys already!

Okay, if I can ask ONE more question, and I swear I'll stop. I really do need to call JHU anyways to find out what Nutrition they want.

Here's the deal. I'll graduate with my BS next fall. Since applications for accelerated are due in Nov., would I have ANY chance of them taking me because they wouldn't have my degree until a couple weeks before classes start (but I will have my prereqs done this fall)? Does this make any sense? Basically, have any of you gotten accepted before you received your first degree?

Whew.

Hi Peachy,
You're fine. I figure the yahoo group delves more into the details of JHU which may be of little interest to everyone else on the forum, but that's OK if you are a "lurker".
You are asking a good question. I don't know. It sounds like you really need to call them. Which program are you going for - the accelerated or traditional? The accelerated class starts in June. It is for people who already have their bachelor's degrees. Will you still be taking classes for your BS in the summer of 2006? If so, that would not work because the class load is very intense for the accelerated program during the summer.
The traditional program which starts in the fall (2 year program vs. 13.5 months). There are people there who have not finished their BS degrees and are continuing on to get the BSN/RN. (Although when they asked how many people already had their degree during accepted students day, nearly 95% of all the people in the room (accel and trad) raised their hands! It was a very qualified group!) Call them so you can get your nutrition and other questions answered! Good luck!

Hi Smile!!

YOU ARE A SAINT!! Seriously, thanks for being so patient and so helpful!

Yeah,I find everything on the groups exciting; but like I said, I figure it's more for you guys. I'll probably post here and there wishing you guys luck.

The place you found is GORGEOUS, girlie!! I LOVE lofts!! Do they allow pets? **crosses fingers**

Thanks again. Yep, I'll probably call JHU when I work up some nerve. Don't want to sound like a rambling idiot, which I pretty much do when it's someone important!

Take care!
Tanya

Okay, I lied. I have another question. I'm going to post this in the pre-nursing forum as well, but as JHU is my dream school, I figured you guys can help me with this one.

Okay, so I'm trying to finish the first degree. It's Psychology. I'm pretty much apathetic toward it. I just want to be done so I can finally get to nursing school. I have everything done except about 6 Psych Classes, plus Nutrition, A&P, and A&PII.

If I were to switch my major to General Studies, I could graduate this fall, and be done with my pre-reqs, and apply to JHU this fall. If I stay with Psych, I'll be graduating next fall.

Should I switch? I know General Studies is a degree, but will it look bad to JHU (does that make sense)? Or should I finish out Psych and spend the extra year building up more volunteer and extra-curricular activity hours?

Thanks guys!! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!!

Also, I was going to try and head up to Baltimore to meet with a counselor, but since I don't have $300+ to spare, I have to just do it by phone/email. Since there are so many questions, should I just e-mail them a long letter asking for a reply whenever they can; or, do I seem more interested if I call?

ACK..

I am an out of state resident that decided to attend UM in 2003 (I graduate next week). As an out of state resident, you may receive in state tuition if you agree to work anywhere in Maryland for fours years as an RN. I began working at Johns Hopkins Hospital in July. The University of Maryland has a great program and I would highly recommend the new MSN Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) program for second degree students. If you want to become a Nurse Practitioner, you may enter a Post-Master's NP Program after the CNL and therefore save time.
