Johns Hopins Accelerated BSN

Ok, so my application is definitely complete and being considered for early decision.

I felt relief at first, but I just read that JHU's overall acceptance rate is 26%-- better than the rate at many top universities, but not too encouraging. I think- on paper, at least- I am just an average/typical candidate, nothing stellar: and I am dreading the potential rejection.

Notifications are sent out by December 15th, so I have a month to fight the fretting!

Good luck to all you other applicants- I can empathize with the anxiety, and I wish you all well!

Upward and Onward...

Did you hear back?

I haven't heard anything, and honestly, I am pretty nervous. I have never been rejected before by a school, so I guess I am not really prepared for the disappointment.

Good luck!

I was told that we would be notified by December 15 at the latest. I guess that is not too bad (some of the other programs I applied to won't notify until February).

I just need to plan ahead, especially as JHU admission would mean a big move (I'm in NYC right now).

Does anyone live in Baltimore right? Any perspective on neighborhoods I should look at? I have a husband and a 3 1/2 year old son, so I want something family-oriented, but not too pricey... Of course, this is all contingent upon getting accepted (crossing fingers).

Trying to be patient,

Thanks, SnoopysAunt!

I hope my family can stay together for this whole nursing degree venture, but that is contingent upon my husband getting a good job in the area (he is in finance/wealth management). If he can't, we may have to split up for a while (yuck), but Hopkins is worth it to me.

Does anyone know how the economy and job market in Baltimore are, compared to the rest of the nation? Are new nursing grads able to find good jobs quickly?

All input is appreciated!
