1. JHU Fall 2018 MSN Entry into Nursing

   JulietMei replied to franklin_washington's topic in School Programs

   As I remember, they gave us three essay prompts, and you had to do two. One (the mandatory one) was about why you want to enter nursing/become a nurse. The other two (you could choose between them): 1) give an example of how you used critical thinkin...

2. UMD CNL FALL 2018

   JulietMei replied to ltaylor19's topic in School Programs

   Thank you! It was a tough decision, because I was obviously super excited and honored to be accepted to two such wonderful programs. In the end, one of the things that decided the matter for me was how much I felt like I "clicked" with the Hopkins st...

   And I decided for sure that I will be coming to Hopkins!

4. UMD CNL FALL 2018

   JulietMei replied to ltaylor19's topic in School Programs

   After a lot of thinking, I decided to decline my offer of admission to UMDSON. (I will be going to Hopkins!) Best of luck to everyone waiting, and those on the waitlist, there's now another space open! We are all going to be amazing nurses!

5. UMD CNL FALL 2018

   JulietMei replied to ltaylor19's topic in School Programs

   @SimSmo, still wrestling with the decision! Both programs are great, and I was so fortunate to be offered admission to both. I need to make up my mind this week, as the deposit is due to Maryland if I am going there. Anyone else out there deciding b...

6. UMD CNL FALL 2018

   JulietMei replied to ltaylor19's topic in School Programs

   Aw, don't freak out! It is really more of a conversation than a formal interview, though I would suggest dressing nicely, etc. My interviewer (the program director, Dr. Lessans) didn't quiz me to see if I knew every single things about the program, e...

   I am in Baltimore -- hometown of Johns Hopkins! I came home last summer after commencement to tackle the rest of my nursing prerequisites. Congrats on your spot on the waitlist! Keep us all posted.

8. UMD CNL FALL 2018

   JulietMei replied to ltaylor19's topic in School Programs

   In recent years, I have heard of several universities having things like this happen, though it mostly seems that what happens is that universities send out "Congratulations! You are accepted!" emails to the wrong people, and then have to backtrack a...

   @DanielleTam, you are in Oregon?! I graduated from UO last June. I miss Oregon and Eugene so much!

10. UMD CNL FALL 2018

    JulietMei replied to ltaylor19's topic in School Programs

    I got the email that said I wasn't accepted (though my SURF status said that I was), followed by an email saying "Urgent" and saying sorry, this email went out to the wrong people, followed by an email from my admissions counselor, apologizing for th...

11. UMD CNL FALL 2018

    JulietMei replied to ltaylor19's topic in School Programs

    SimSmo, not sure about that, but I did discuss the differences in the program at my interview at UMD. My interviewer said that (in a nutshell) the JHU cohort seems to come largely from across the country, and those people scatter across the country a...

    JulietMei replied to ltaylor19's topic in School Programs

    Excited to say my status changed to admit yesterday, as well. My application and materials were in in early November, and I had my interview on Valentine's Day. Anybody else here deciding between JHU SON and UMD? Love to hear your thoughts.

    I am in the middle of my last prereq: Anatomy and Phys II!

14. UMD CNL FALL 2018

    JulietMei replied to ltaylor19's topic in School Programs

    I interviewed on Valentine's Day and my interviewer asked me specifically if I was OK (in terms of timing with other program decisions) waiting until March 1. I told her that March 1 was OK. Now it sounds like it is going to be weeks from now. (ltayl...

    JulietMei replied to ltaylor19's topic in School Programs

    Yes, I meant the class of students. Thanks for the info! Sounds like there is a lot of competition to get in. I interviewed on Valentine's Day and my interviewer asked me if I was OK waiting until March 1 to get my admissions decision, and I said yes...
