Johns Hopkins Entry into Nursing (MSN) Fall 2021

Published

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to start a thread for the Johns Hopkins Entry into Nursing MSN program for August 2021 applicants. I started my application this week, aiming to get it in well before the November 1st deadline . Anyone else??

I'm with you... I only applied to 3 schools and as decisions are coming out in the next few weeks I'm so scared I may have screwed myself over. ?

You never know, those 3 schools might have been the only ones you would have gotten into even if you applied to more! Each school is so different.

I originally intended to apply to only one school, and on a whim I decided to apply to two more schools of which I really didn't expect to get accepted to--JHUSON being one of them.  I got accepted to the first school I applied for and JHUSON.  I'm still waiting to hear back from the 3rd school.

Haha thank you guys for the reassurance! 

Part of my concern is related to affordability. I applied to two VERY expensive programs (one of which is JHU ? ). The "cheapest" program is in-state but I don't think there are many scholarships available. With so few options, I could be screwed over financially LOL. I wish I applied to more schools just to give myself better chances from a financial standpoint. But of course, there's not even any guarantee of getting in, let alone scholarships! 

I also kind of applied to JHU on a "whim." Originally, when I saw the tuition & fees, I ruled it out completely. For whatever reason, I had a change of heart a few weeks later and decided to apply. It did take a lot of effort getting the 3 recommendations and writing the essays. The in-state school did not require any recommendations at all, and even the personal statement was optional.

I didn't qualify for federal aid, but I did get a (small) merit-based scholarship from JHU. I didn't think I would even get into JHU considering I don't have a spectacular GPA, but I REALLY didn't think I would get any money from them. Yes, it's a small scholarship, but it's totally possible that they'll give you some aid! Still don't know if I will be able to afford the program LOL but I really really appreciate the scholarship. I wish you the best!!

Thanks so much @amanda12 and congrats on the JHU scholarship! ?  Are you still waiting to hear back from other schools?

Yes, unfortunately ? I applied to 5 programs. I got into JHU, was waitlisted at my #1 choice, and haven't heard anything from the other 3 yet. It's so difficult because I'm so happy I got into JHU but I still have just as much anxiety as before waiting for these other programs to notify me!

Ah I'm in the same boat! All of the schools that I applied to are expensive. I got into one, waitlisted from another, and rejected from one. I'm still waiting to hear back from 3 schools, but lately have been considering going to my state school.

Only for those who applied by the early deadline. If you applied by the January deadline we should find out end of March I believe ?
