applying to JHU SON ABSN, any advice?

U.S.A. Maryland

Hi everyone,

I'm assembling my app. for the ABSN program, shooting for the early decision date 11/1. Any tips for applying from anyone? Esp the ppl that are already in the program.

I think the hardest thing for me on this way to nursing is writing the personal essays. :banghead: I dread having to "sell" myself on paper...I am a good writer, but always at a loss for words when it comes to some generic question...:confused:(how can you bring diversity to our program, for ex.). And if I answer, why do I want to be a nurse the same way all the other applicants do.....sigh. I'll think of something, I must, but what do you think?

Thanks for your time everyone :nurse:

I am assuming you're from California :). The UC Davis program actually sounds interesting -- if only it were not too far from the East Coast!

And I totally know what you mean about application fees. Luckily, I only had to pay for UPenn & Columbia. I sent JHU a check, but they informed me that they don't charge JHU alumni or current students. :) But still, I spent +$100 with the other two.

EEK! I hope we both get in. I have a feeling they will be calling people next week! :)

Hopkins Undergrad,

I hope you're right about them calling us next week...do you have inside information on this, or are you just hoping for an early call like the rest of us?

We should get a pool started about what day they're going to make the calls...I'll take next Tuesday! No reason, other than I hope they call sooner rather than later.

Oh no! I definitely don't have inside information. It was just an inkling. :) I hope they call sooner rather than later too. Well, I hope they call period! :)

I totally agree with you! I would like the call sooner, but I really just want to get the call!!

Good luck to all of us!

Yep, currently in CA. Would like to be in MD though :wink2:

I have a feeling they'll be calling next week-ish too. There isnt too much time left anyway. I dont mind when they call, as long as its good news. I can always wait a little for good news.

OHSU's application fee alone is $120. Its nice that JHU is free for you, I love how they have minimal bureaucracy to deal with.

I saw all these new posts, and I thought someone had heard already!

I agree with what's been said--any call is better than no call! The message boards from last year show the 9th being the earliest they called...that's Monday...gosh, wouldn't that be wonderful? I took my A&P Final Practical yesterday (I don't have to take the Lecture Final), so I don't even have that to distract myself with anymore!

Good luck, everyone!
