Johns Hopkins 2015 ABSN & Masters Entry

U.S.A. Maryland

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?

I'm applying for the Master's Entry program for Fall 2016!! I'm so excited but so scared! Currently studying for the GRE & plan to take last 2 prereqs in the Spring. Any advice on a good GRE score? I have a 3.67 GPA right now & am graduating in December.

Okay, that makes sense! It seemed as though the ABSN no longer existed. I'm applying for the same at UM for Spring 2016, because I really didn't want to take the GREs. Kind of a dumb reason, but also, the JHU program is so expensive! Although I just had a dream last night that I didn't get into UM, so that wasn't fun.

Actually there are! It's a pretty big misconception but direct entry CRNA programs DO exist! Boston University and Columbia University offer them and I'm applying to both!

Columbia has a direct CRNA program for those that do not have a BSN?!? I applied to Columbia too but didn't see this...

those are really high stats.... everyone has really high stats! how's it possible?!!! going to a school cut throat like UCLA, an A is like nearly impossible in the science classes. Chemistry is taken with pre-meds.

It's pretty scary, most nursing schools are so competitive that you need a stellar GPA (as well as the rest of your app) in order to get accepted. I don't know if where you go really matters for most places, but when I spoke with admissions at John Hopkins they said that a 3.5 from UCLA (currently attending too) was sufficient, assuming the rest of your application was decent too. Some places to seem to take a more holistic view than others; from my encounters of speaking with staff both on the phone and personally, it seems that UCLA is much harder to get into than JHU or Columbia. I could be wrong, but that is just the impression I got. I literally feel that I have no shot of getting into UCLA, which sucks because it's my #1 choice.

And yeah, pretty much all your science classes will be taken with pre-meds, but it's not like competition to get into nursing school isn't high as well. I don't expect the rigor of UCLA to be greater than that of the nursing programs..
