Yes, we're a few months away from applications for the Accelerated BSN track, but I thought I'd see if anyone else was applying for the BSN/MSN (or just BSN portion) at Johns Hopkins, 2008? JHU is my first choice, but I'm also applying to Columbia, Mount St. Marys College (Los Angeles, BSN only) and Oregon Health & Science University.
I'm nervous as I haven't visited the school yet although the Admissions Officers have been very helpful, answering all of my endless questions via email and phone. I'm taking the GRE in October and I have one shot to get it done and get my scores sent off by the Accelerated track early decision deadline, November 1st. I've spoken to some JHU Nursing Alums via allnurses as well and they've been super helpful with my questions as well (thanks!).
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????????
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.
Congrats utexas!! Hopefully more us will get some good news! I think I personally won't know for awhile though because my interview isn't until next week.
Glad to hear your interview went well BChach...and thanks for the update regarding the pending notifications, although I know I'll probably have knots in my stomach until I hear something one way or another! Ugh!
Thanks, seems liek you were the first one on here to get their call. Were you also supposed to hear Dec 15th but just happened to hear early? What was your GPA if you don't mind me asking.
