Johns Hopkins 2015 ABSN & Masters Entry

Published

This thread is for applicants applying to Johns Hopkins, for either the ABSN or the new Master's Entry program. I've searched a few times and haven't found a thread for this year's admissions cycle, so I decided to start one.

After lots of thinking, I decided to apply to the Master's Entry instead of the ABSN. Anyone else out there applying?

Just to clarify, by financial aid, they mean just the fafsa? I see the graduate student aid form on their website. Do we fill that out as well? Financial Aid | Apply | Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing

Yes, at least I filled it out and emailed it in. Also, because I filled out my fafsa before I could use my 2014 taxes, I had to send in an IRS transcript as well.

Thanks! I filled the fafsa out before doing my 2014 taxes but I just revised my fafsa after I got it done and it sent a revision to all the schools. Does it say for JHU specifically to send them the IRS transcript?

Well, I FINALLY got a response! I received a letter today saying that I had been offered a spot....................on the waitlist! :banghead:

I have until April 1st to decide if I'm still going to pursue it or not. I got accepted into St. Louis University Accelerated MSN Program so I don't know if I'll still pursue JHU since I would prefer to have a MSN rather than a BSN.

@pinkeagle ooh, congrats! Did they tell you when they'd let you know of any openings at JHU?

So according to the letter, the deadline to accept a spot on the wait list is April 1st. They also stated, "The Admissions Office will make every effort to inform wait listed students of availability prior to April 15".

I'm Guessing we have to wait so long because students who have been accepted have until April 1 to accept.

But thats at a really long wait for me especially since I still have to hear back from 6 other schools. I really only needed one yes from the 8 schools I applied to. I'm just so glad I got an acceptance letter from SLU before my wait list letter from Hopkins! :up:

Hi!! I was accepted to the Master's Entry program was wondering if anyone knows more than me about what you can do with this degree. Since it is a MSN (but not NP), would we expect to get paid more than a BSN trained nurse? Are there job opportunities beyond the "beside nuse" with this degree? And how long would it take to get the DNP afterward?

Good luck to everyone still waiting on a response!!!

Are there any RPCVs out there?

I believe it said on the financial aid website that if you had not uploaded your IRS 2014 information directly to your FAFSA that they wanted a transcript. When I filed my taxes, they were not yet available to upload, so I just the transcript. If you had uploaded tax information, you should be fine.

@ PinkEagle. Waitlist better than rejection, I wish you the best. I know some schools rank by number but I do not know about Hopkins. If they do not, they can choose whomever they wish. In that case, perhaps being proactive helps.

As for accepted students, we haven't gotten our financial aid packages, and I did hear we will get it before April 1.

I'm a bit perturbed that I haven't received any notification about a decision yet I submitted my application back in September.
