remember me from the "got your application in and are waiting for that letter" therad?
well, just got a call and had to come let all my allnursing family know that dreams come true!!!!
imagine my surprise when i saw a baltimore area code calling my cell phone..it was hopkins!!!
my letter asking for reconsideration did the trick--
i'm accepted!!!!!!
omg, what do i do? what do i do? accepted students day is around 2 weeks away, i've been spending money out of the butt for my sister's wedding, my books this semester, and my dog,thinking i wouldn't need to worry for hopkins..
i can't even remember what mary or i said, i was half-laughing, half-crying, just trying to hold myself together.
oh man...i still can't get myself together right now..can't stay still, can't concentrate, can't think of what to do next..
i want to thank all of you who have been amazing...especially you jeanne. you've been so selfless and graceful. you're an amazing woman. i'll be sending you a looong pm as soon as i can settle down for more than two seconds.
You have all made it the BEST Valentine's Day with all your love and support!! :balloons: :flowersfo
Oh, and wanted to add, for all of those who may have gotten that same horrible letter I did, KEEP AT IT!! Send a letter asking them to reconsider you, and why they should do so. It really works!! :roll
Thanks so much, Mi'Shelle!! It's your turn next!!!
KungFuFtr, thanks a lot!! I'm sure you'll have no problem getting in!
As for the letter, I dropped the official tone I had for my essays, and poured my soul out. Well, actually, it took 15 minutes for this letter, compared to the WEEKS for the essay.
Basically, I explained the weak points on my application (W's), gave examples on why I know I can handle the rigor of the program, and talked about exactly what the school means to me.
