I haven't seen any threads yet about the Johns Hopkins accelerated MSN program for Spring of 2018 so I thought I would start one to chat with other hopefuls like myself!
Also, if anyone who has previously been accepted into the program, any and all advice would be greatly appreciated! For now, I have a few questions:
-Does anyone know if all parts of the application are weighed equally or which ones they place the most emphasis on?
- I took the GRE once and I scored in the 82nd percentile for verbal reasoning (score: 159), 93rd percentile for analytical writing (score: 5), and the 55th percentile in quantitative reasoning (score: 154 ) Should I retake it to improve my math score? My fear is that I'll take it again and do worse!
- What is their acceptance rate?
- Any good tips for the personal statements? I'm finding that it's very difficult to articulate why I want to be a nurse without sounding cheesy.
- Where else are y'all applying?
I think that's all for now! I look forward to chatting with everyone and wish you all the best of luck!
Hello! I just found this thread!! I was accepted September 1st. Congratulations to everyone else who got accepted! I am looking forward to meeting all of you in the spring. Anyone going to the event on November 3rd?
Congrats!! Very exciting! I'm applying (currently working on my essays), and I'm curious what your cumulative GPA was, did you take the GRE, other application tips for success? Thanks!
I have two bachelor degrees (anthropology and biology pre-med) and did not take the GRE. My biology cumulative GPA is 3.9. I would focus on writing a strong essay...Tell a story. Make sure they will remember you!! Best of luck!
Wowza, that's awesome! My undergraduate is reallyyyyy low, but all post-bacc work and all prerequisites I've made A's in! Hoping that will earn me some points. I am planning on taking the GRE, but after the October 1 deadline so I'm taking a risk of being admitted without it. Odds aren't in my favor but hey, stranger things have happened right?
