Johns Hopkins 2017 DNP - Advanced Practice

WolverineRN · Dec 4, 2017

Hi. Unfortunately, there appears to be almost zero scholarships from them for DNP, but I encourage you to look for scholarships outside of school. They will advise you slightly on that. They do offer student loans and my student loans are covering the FULL tuition. Also, they advised us not to work our first semester and honestly now I understand why. Some people are working, but it is rough. It depends on your track though. Hope that helps! For the interview, be yourself, be calm and confident, you'll do fine if you got this far. :) I thought I BOMBED my interview and I got in.

Thank you so much for your response! I am applying to the AG primary care DNP with HIV certification. I also read in an earlier post that you were accepted to Columbia as well. I am also thinking of applying to Columbia. Would you mind sharing your reasons why you chose JHU over Columbia?

I was accepted to Case Western Reserve, Emory, JHU, and Columbia. Once I had those 4 acceptances, in my mind it was between Columbia and JHU. I ultimately decided on JHU because they were rated higher in Grad School, DNP, FNP (my track). That was what was important to me. We all have different reasons for our choices, but that was what mattered to me. Now, if Columbia had been cheaper and in a safer much safer area, than maybe I would have chosen that. I just feel like when someone says medicine you think JHU or Mass Gen or Duke. BTW, I didn't choose Duke because I had heard some very bad things about their online process and didn't have a good feeling about it. (again, this is all just my opinion so take it with a grain of salt). Good Luck! :)

Curious... What questions were asked in the interview? What about in the Emory interviews?
