Good luck to all!

Yeah, I debated about flying out there for an in-person interview, but its just a bit too costly for a 2 or 3 day mini-trip out there with such short notice in terms of booking flight/hotel. There is no disadvantage to doing it over the phone. In terms of the interview itself, be sure to have any and all questions you may have about the school/program ready to ask, and I'm sure they'll ask everyone that lovely question, "why do you want to pursue nursing at JHU?" I believe the main interviewers are the two primary admissions counselors, Denelle and Chris. They will most likely tell you who you are interviewing with if you opt for a phone interview.

Did you apply early decision? I love that I only have to wait six weeks from now for a decision. Good luck!

I finally decided for the in-person interview and scheduled the appointment today. Definitely pricey, but I figured it'd be a good chance for me to explore what JHU has to offer. I didn't apply for the early decision, and I'm sure the wait for the regular admissions is going to be a dread.

Does JHU interview everybody with a completed application? Just wondering! Just got the email about scheduling my interview..eek!! I have so much stuff going on right now, I hope it's okay to do it in mid December. Definitely going to do the phone interview though.

I was wondering if they interview everyone, too. I think some schools do, but then combing the posts here shows that some schools do not. I am unsure. Did they say anything when you spoke to them?

I got a call 15 minutes before one of my exams today saying I was accepted and I asked to make sure I was accepted to the BSN and MSN portion - she checked and said YES! So I will definitely be going. Who turns down Hopkins????????

Hi, good news for you Ham!
To follow up, I did have my interview today. In fact, I should state that I am applying for the BSN portion only, I think there was some confusion here about this when I wondered why I didn't get interviewed. The counselor even mentioned they rarely interview BSN-only applicants. That said, the interview went fine. They are still reviewing applications, so don't anyone worry if you have not heard anything. In fact, while I was in the interview someone was looking for a file related to applications. So the process is ongoing. My interviewer reiterated the 15th/17th as the due date for notifications.
