I know this is early to make a thread for the Fall 2011 Hopkins Applicants! But still, it is better to start getting ready than waiting at the last minute! I highly suggest everyone start getting your letters of recommendations, and just hide it until you are ready to apply. I will be applying and submitting my application around September 2010 as an early decision applicant for Fall 2011.
I have to finish up Anatomy and Physiology I and II, Developmental Psychology, and one more chemistry class this coming Summer 2010. During the Fall of 2010 and Spring 2011, I will be finishing up just general requirements like history, Microbiology, English Composition, Statistics, some foreign languages, and humanities (elective classes).
I will be applying for the BSN Traditional Program considering I do not have a degree, thus, I am not qualified to apply for the accelerated program. I'm really excited about this.
I will only be applying to UPenn and Johns Hopkins University for my BSN traditional program. If I do not get accepted, I will be attending my current university's school of nursing. I am already in the university's nursing program, but I don't start clinical preceptorship until 2 years from now.
I will graduate May 2013 regardless where I go. Either JHU or UPenn or stay at my current university.
If I will be accepted at either JHU or UPenn, then definitely I will be attending those schools! I love nursing research, and I want to learn more about research and providing quality care to our patients.
We will see how it will go. I have six months until I submit my application to both schools. Remember time is running fast.
Hope everyone are doing well on their pre-requisites! Good luck to all!
Feel free to post around so we can help each other for Fall 2011! I've read the thread for the JHU Fall 2010. I've noticed everyone in that thread got accepted, and some waitlisted! Its a good sign!
Hi Lolita. I've been super anxious too. Checking my phone, mailbox and inbox, but nothing yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all of us! We'll find out in the next couple of days!
So, it appears to be trending later, which makes sense as I believe the number of applicants has been increasing each year.
I'm alternating between being pretty zen about it and also really anxious and keyed up. No matter what happens I am going to pursue nursing as a career, and I know that I will find a way. I would love for it to be at Hopkins, because I know I would learn so much from the program and the clinical settings.
As to the anxiety, here's what I've done since finishing finals (and rocking them!) on Monday:
- Cleaned my apartment really, really well. About eight times.
- Read the entire Millennium series by Stieg Larson, and watched the two films that are out in the US.
- Gone running every day.
- Checked my email about a bazillion times. (Did anyone else get the email about the PhD program info session and freak out for a moment? All I could see in the subject line was "Office of Admissions.")
- Stalked my mail carrier.
- Baked. A lot.
- Pestered my fiance / sister / parents about their opinions on my chances. Even though they couldn't possibly know.
Oh my gosh, Chava, that's hilarious and likely because I know EXACTLY what you're going through. I still have a final left, but I'm looking forward to being as productive as you! What did you bake?
That PhD webinar email was terrifying. They should know better! I think I lost years off my life when I saw that it was from JHU office of admissions. Yeesh.
I predict calls will start happening on Monday (should we start a pool?). I had a chat with UCSF earlier to find out why I was denied an interview. Strangely, I left the conversation with a renewed sense of confidence. I hope it lasts...
It would be hilarious to start a pool! My money's on Tuesday...
I wonder if the admissions committee reads these boards? It must be kind of amusing to know how excited we are to hear. I'd be tempted to get a laugh by sending yet more webinar invitations
I registered here just to post this (I've been following the thread for a while, lurking): I just got the call that I've been accepted to the Accelerated Program for summer 2011. Congratulations to all other accepted students, and I wish everyone the best of luck.
ahhh i practically lunged at my mailman today and still nothing! no letter or a call! That means there is still hope for all of us! we'll all find out by tomorrow! fingers and toes crossed!
Oh well, another day with our fingers crossed.
we'll all find out by tomorrow! fingers and toes crossed!
