Congratulations on your incredible achievement! 🎉 

Could you share what your stats look like? What kind of experiences do you have? 

Thank you! I graduated with my bachelors a while ago so I retook the pre req classes required last year. For experience, I've been a certified phlebotomist technician for about 7 years. And I've been a clinical research associate at a hospital for about 4 years now. I was getting a little worried because I applied 01/06, so def hang in there!

I took a picture of the slide that mentioned the total cost, but unfortunately, I don't have the cost breakdown. Francesca mentioned that the entire presentation will be available soon on the admissions site. From what I understood, the cost increases each year, which isn't surprising.

Wow it's so expensive! 😅 I'm wondering if the student loan debt would be worth it. Did you all apply to more programs?

It's quite expensive; however, from my perspective, if you're planning to become a nurse practitioner, it's definitely worth the investment. The higher salary you can expect will make it easier for you to pay off the costs in the long run. Furthermore, attending Johns Hopkins is very impressive and may enhance your career opportunities.

I'm hoping it is😭 I applied to another entry msn program but they waitlisted me. I'm planning on applying to an ADN program just in case

Hi! I was accepted on 03/07 and just found this page! Applied on 01/14. Would anyone be open to sharing the amount of merit based scholarship they received? It wasn't as much as I hoped, so was wondering if others feel the same.

My friend who applied on the same date is still waiting to hear back as well; wish the best to everyone still waiting!

Hi! I applied to the MSN Entry into Nursing program (so I believe I'm in the right place) on 03/02 and just got accepted an hour ago! 

In terms of merit based scholarship, I got a decent amount but definitely not enough to offset the cost of the program.. I am just waiting on financial aid as it stated on my applicant portal that I would get a notice soon in regard to how much aid I am eligible for.

Thank you so much!! I am currently a senior in undergrad, but my cumulative GPA is a 3.66 RN (hopefully I can bring it up to a 3.7 after this semester!). For extracurriculars, I work as a research assistant at the med school research lab affiliated with my current institution. I also have a caretaking background for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, which was one of the biggest things that pushed me to pursue nursing!
