Hello Everyone,

Just wanted to start a thread for those who applied to the DNP program at Hopkins. I recently applied prior to the early Nov 1 deadline. I noticed from last years thread that some applicants mentioned they had interviews already (at this time). Has anyone applied and been interviewed yet? Best of luck to everyone.

So I ended up getting a decision and got accepted into the FNP program. However, no info. about merit scholarships was given in my acceptance letter. Is anyone else in the same situation? 

Hello! I also received an offer into the FNP program and it looks like financial aid info will be sent out in the next 24-48 hours by the financial aid team. I'm hoping it's a nice package because I know Hopkins charges quite a decent amount per credit.

Congrats on your acceptance! I know they have a history of including scholarship info. on the acceptance letter. I was worried I didn't get any aid bc this program is $$$. But it looks like there is still a chance to receive some aid.

Congrats to everyone who got in! I did not get the good email of acceptance but was waitlisted and that's OK, I experienced Hopkin's through the MSN and am grateful for that. Hopkins is a great place for all those attending this fall. Best of luck to everyone! #headingbacktocali #fatehasitsways 

 

P.S at least I got a free subscription to people magazine. 

You are a practicing PMHNP, right? There is plenty of time for a DNP.

Please don't beat yourself over it. I believe the PMHNP cohort takes like 25-30 students I think since it's so new!

That's a small size! I thought acceptance rate is 65% though and I was hoping to be part of that LOL

Is there anyone planning on going through this program remotely? The professor I interviewed talked about how this program is mostly online and that we would only have to be on campus like once every year.

I will be doing the program remotely! Just a little worried about financial aid 😅.

I was denied a plce in the psych PM cert program. I'm OK with this, will instead start in a much cheaper state program this Fall, albeit less prestigious but still good. Thank goodness for options!  Congrats for those who got in, but know you are OK if you didn't. ❤️

For financial aid for all schools (and since I haven't read anyone mentioning it yet) in 2024- 

Schools would normally have your financial aid information months ago (or whenever you filled out the FAFSA), which is why some can send you a financial aid package with your acceptance letter so you can make an informed decision. The FAFSA has a new system this year, and it's throwing the financial aid systems at colleges and universities for a loop an no schools I have talked to even have your info yet. Since they are receiving your information late, financial aid packages did not go out with acceptance letters.

It's my understanding the schools will have your info this week (last week of March). Some schools (like JHU) are making it a priority to get financial aid packages out before the deadline to accept. For some schools that accept scholarship applications ahead of acceptance to the school, the package may also include any scholarships you qualify for. Understandable due to the high cost and that some students must have that info before they accept. 

Some schools haven't adjusted their acceptance deadlines, but financial aid packages won't go out until May. Scholarship award decisions might be made a month before the program starts. 

Some schools (*ahem* YALE *ahem*), simply do not give a f**k ad won't even send out acceptances until a month before program start. You'll get your financial aid package WHEN YOU GET IT (so stop asking ;)). Fine if that is your only school choice, not so much if you have other choices.

I hope that helps!
