Has anyone seen/received their financial package yet?

I think Hopkins tends to be later in notifying about financial aid than some other schools. When I interviewed in December I'm pretty sure they indicated it wouldn't be until later in the spring, even April. I remember they said that for most students it'll arrive after the deposit is due.

Hey Just Jane!

I am also applying to University of Maryland (deadline was 2/1), Anne Arundel CC and CCBC ... Deadlines are 3/15. Good luck.

I just got my call! I'm in!

Hi folks! I know this is a pretty old thread but I just wanted to check in to see if anyone has any information/news on 2010 ED notification. I've applied ED for ABSN 2010 at Hopkins and am on pins and needles waiting to hear. It sounds like people started hearing on 12/9 last year. I heard, however, on another thread, that the admissions office will not notify anyone prior to 12/15 this year.

Would love to know if anyone has any information to this effect! I am so nervous right now! :chair:

Ashera, Thanks for that message it gives me a bit of hope. I have to say my undergrad record is fairly dismal but it is something I have to carry with me. While in Undergrad I worked multiple jobs for more than 60 hours a week the entire time... some of those jobs now look great on an app/resume (managing an educational theatre group for at risk youth, etc). After graduating I then joined Peace Corps... I was a public health volunteer in Kenya for 2 1/2 years.While in Peace Corps my life changed and I became more focused, I took my GRE, did well, returned to the States and recieved my MSPH in Tropical Medicine from Tulane with a 3.7 and was awarded the Tulane 34 award (regarded by the school as its most prestigious award). While at Tulane I also was the coordinator for the schools Masters International Peace Corps Program and worked at the student health center coordinating publi health messages and events for the Undergrads. Basically I turned my academic career around and grew up. For the last year I have been living in South Sudan working with the Carter Center on their Guinea Worm Eradication Program as well as their Trachoma Control Program (an amazingly educational experience, believe me). Even with all of this I am worried that my Undergrad record may warp the picture of who I am today. Hopkins and Nursing is my dream and I hope i can present myself well during the application process. Ill be applying ED at the end of this year. (Im returning home in July to finish pre-reqs and to apply). Any advice you or anyone else has would be greatly appreciated! While in Sudan... I rarely get email and can almost never check these blogs so yeah...
