Johns Hopkins DNP FNP Fall 2021

Hi everyone! I have not seen a thread about Johns Hopkins' Fall 2021 DNP-FNP application cycle. Has anyone who applied early decision heard anything yet? I'm wondering if COVID has delayed their processing at all. Any insights would be great!

Hi @Jaimethenurse,

I did not transfer from another program.

I applied early. With my graduate nursing degree (MN), my GPA was a 3.76. However, I feel like it was a collective whole that helped me to get into the program. I believe that applying for early admissions does help a lot but I have a feeling it was a combination of my resume, leadership experience, goal statement, and interview. I also think that if you want to get into the Johns Hopkins program specifically, then it would be wise to attend their school of nursing virtual sessions that are pretty much open to the public. These include diversity dimensions and other types of sessions, and most especially their informational sessions (as many as you need to attend) in order get as familiar and as comfortable with their program, staff, requirements, facts and data - to the point that you are well versed in their mission and values and can describe how they align with your own. Immerse yourself in their program and be engaged. All of this helps, too, during the interview. 

Hope this helps.

Best wishes!
