Hello!
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!
Johns Hopkins mails their admissions letters and calls to follow up within the following few days after its sent, I believe.
Oh really?! I didn't know that and I was not able to find this info anywhere on their website. This is good to know. Thank you for sharing! I hope others can confirm this.

I believe I read it in another JHU thread from previous years. Now, I could be mistaken and gotten another school confused as I've applied to quite a few hehe. But I agree, it is mildly irritating as my mail person is not exactly the best at placing my mail in my mailbox. On the flip side, I'm not obsessively checking my email either :)

Hi all!
Finally submitted my application for Fall entry! A little nervous due to the fact that my undergrad gpa and GRE scores were very low. But I am currently finishing my Masters degree in Health Science with a great gpa and have received all As in Nursing prerequisites. With over 5 years of patient care experience. Any insight on my chances of getting in? (Trying to remain positive)
