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!
Does anyone know if they send you an email if you don't get accepted? I applied priority (June 29th to be exact) but I haven't heard anything. I'm not sure if they just leave you hanging or actually send you an email saying you're rejected.
Email came September 1st and a follow up phone call a few days later to ensure I got the email. I am not sure about rejection or wait list, but I was wait listed at USD last year and received a letter in the mail a few weeks after interviews.
Hey MFord, I noticed you applied to both JH and Rush (I did as well and follow both threads). Sounds like you've been accepted to JH - congrats!! :) I saw you're also going to interview at Rush. Just wondering, is Rush your preference or are you still weighing your options? Anyway, hope to see you at the first look!
Hi msmsn, I did indeed and thank you very much :) at this point I am still weighing my options. Both schools are stellar and have a lot to offer, so I am open to both opportunities and will have a tough time deciding which one I ultimately want to attend
Oh yes, that would be a very difficult decision to make. They're both fantastic schools, as you said. Well... it's a good dilemma to have :) Good luck!
I'm still waiting. I emailed the admissions office two days ago to make sure my application got there, because I was very skeptical of NursingCAS, and the admissions counselor told me my application status was still under review and decisions would be sent out throughout the month. Hope that helps!!
I got in! I received an email end of day yesterday, and could not be more excited! My husband is wondering if I should still consider UMSON (admission decisions don't go out till mid-November) due to the cost, but I think getting the MSN from Hopkins will be worth the extra money. Anyone else debating between UMSON and JHUSON?
