FALL 2020 Johns Hopkins MSN: Entry into Nursing

[OTheRN]

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!

I applied In February. I called school and the representative told me at the end of this month I should get word. Hopefully it’s a good word.

There seems to be so much conflicting information regarding decisions :(( I called admissions earlier this month (I applied February 15th) and was told that I wouldn't get a decision until mid-April. The admissions lady was pretty rude and had a lack of patience so maybe that's why she gave me such a later date LOL

Your probably right. I applied on the same date you did. I was told today that I would get decision at the end of this month. Who knows? They probably say different things to everyone. LOL.

I'm sure everyone is very stressed and overloaded at the moment and it's good to practice some compassion especially since the office is likely receiving an influx of calls and requests right now on top of dealing with COVID-19 questions.

Yeah I figured that I was probably the 100th person who called her that day. Definitely not taking it personally though. I know admissions are doing their best

Hey everyone,

Not yet. From past posts, it seems like JHU is committed to informing us by end of this week.

Hope everyone is staying indoors and well-nourished doing this time.
