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??

Hahahah! Yes, I would absolutely go there for the basketball. ? All kidding aside, I'm still waiting on financial aid (I'll most likely need to take out loans anyways) and honestly I'm glad the program is only 4 semesters/16 months. I'm actually in the process of applying to one more ABSN program - crazy I know - and I was also accepted to my state school.

I applied to 6 schools and did not get into 4 of them this cycle.  I only have JH acceptance and Duke waitlist atm.

Wow, that's rough. ? I am sorry but I mean hey you still got into the #1 nursing school. I would definitely stay on the waitlist for Duke for as long as they give you a definitive decision - it can't hurt!

Don’t give up hope! I was waitlisted from Penn and rejected from Montclair. This was a big surprise bc Montclair was a huge safety and Penn felt like a medium safety based on my stats. 
 

yet I was accepted to Hopkins, the #1 nursing masters in the world. Some of these schools have varying acceptance criteria. Just because you were rejected places that are considered “less selective” does not mean you are not worthy of or capable of a JHU acceptance! I legit thought I wasn’t going to get in anywhere after my Montclair rejection, but here we are. 
 

Hang in there. You are all so worthy and things will work out ♥️??

@C.emma It's so hard to be confident in our self-worth during these kinds of situations haha. But I agree, each school has a different set of criteria, and although there could be legitimate reasons for a denial (which we can learn from), it's a hugely subjective process. Depends on the reviewers assigned to your application. Could also be yield protection: they thought you were overqualified and wouldn't commit to the school even if you were admitted so they deny you.

I also got an acceptance with 15000 scholarship. I am wondering if the scholarship and financial aid are the same thing? Is there another section where I can look at the financial aid?

Hey friends! I got an acceptance email shortly after my last post. The email is addressed from "Cathy Wilson, Director of Admissions." The first line is "Congratulations!  I am pleased to inform you that you have been admitted to the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing." 

It looks like they are still sending them out today so keep your heads up!

Although I was offered a scholarship, it's unfortunately not enough to justify the costs of the program and I will most likely be turning down the offer. ? I will be thinking of you all who are still waiting for your decisions!! ❤️ 

OMG CONGRATS MEME GOD OR GODDESS?☀️
