FALL 2020 Johns Hopkins MSN: Entry into Nursing

Updated:   Published

Hello everyone,

I'm currently preparing to apply to JHSON MSN: Entry into nursing program for fall 2020. I was wondering anyone has an idea what the acceptance criteria is?

I have a very good gpa in undergrad (3.92) so the admissions team told me I do not need to include GRE scores.

Also how many words should our essays be?

Best of Luck!

Thank you @OyinFutureRN! One last question, it states that we need 17-21 of prerequisite coursework. I have yet to take Human Growth and Development, which I am planning on taking next semester, but I already have 17 units completed. Does this mean I would not need to take Human Growth and Development since I've already completed 17?

I think you will still need to take human growth because it’s a required course.

I don't think that should be a problem. I haven't taken this course either and plan on taking it in the spring semester. I was accepted regardless and got a scholarship too. In ur NursingCAS application you will only list it as in progress.

Also on the essay, the provided space allows you to write not more than 300 characters, that is inclusive of words and spaces which may yield more than 300 words after you are done.

Good luck in your application

Congratulations! I've been lurking but finally made an account. I'm nervous! I turned everything in for the Jan deadline but I'm still waiting on two recommendations. I spoke to both professors last week and they assured me they would turn it in but they are really cutting it close and keeping me on edge.?

Question for those who have already submitted their applications... Since the essay responses are supposed to be "approximately" 300 words, do you think it is okay to be around 350?

All my essays were over the word limited JH suggested; some of mine may have a little over five hundred words. There is a character limit in the NursingCAS application which will limit what you're going to say. I believe it three thousand, which included spaces, next line, punctuations, and so forth. JH does to this so people are concise and the fact they have to read at least a few hundred essays.

You have to do all your prerequisites. What they saying is you have to have so many completed by the time you apply, but you have some in progress. You have to have all of them completed by the time the program starts. I believe JH FAQs has more details on it. I would make sure you indicated on NursingCAS what you plan on taking the next school term in the academic history.

Every school is a little different on how many if any, prerequisites you may in progress. Be careful and try to keep track of what each school wants or allows.

CSUEB did the same thing, the FB group. They made it a private group that specifically for the cohort students only; no professors or staff.

Because people can be lazy, you may want to post a link to the FB group you created.

Here is a link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/452768102330561/?ref=share

Sorry for delayed response ?

I am still waiting as well. I spoke to the office today and they said they are still sending them out. They told me to call Monday if I don’t hear anything today.

Oh that is great news, thank you! I wasn’t sure if they’d be open yet after the holidays ?

Just received my acceptance letter via email!!! Last name starts with an H. Not sure yet if I'll be accepting. Have a month to think about it! Was your scholarship offers in your acceptance letters??
