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!
I am deciding between those two schools as well! Hopkins is a lot of extra money so let me know if you hear anything about which one is worth it. Very difficult decision!
congrats everyone who got accepted and is gonna be starting in a couple of months! i finished up at the SON last summer (last BSN cohort) and had a great experience.
sorry if this is weird, but in case anyone is getting an early jump on things as far as settling into baltimore goes, i just wanted to throw out there that i may be subletting my apartment starting in december! it's a great place, affordable and in a great neighborhood. i've lived in that neighborhood for years and have loved every minute of it. message me if you want more details!
I am wondering how competitive of an applicant I am. My stats are: cum gpa 3.3, prereq ~3.8, GRE 159V, 161Q, 5.0 Writing. Thank you!
I think you are a very good candidate! My undergrad gpa was ~3.1 and prereqs 4.0. Your GRE scores are better than mine were too! Go for it and good luck :)
