For some of the assignments, groups are assigned, and others you can choose. I didn't have any horrible experiences with my groups. It's important to remember that each cohort is going to be...
I'm also a second semester student. We don't have any papers that are explicitly called 'research papers', but every writing assignment/presentation that you have in nursing school has to be backed by...
Unless you have a huge aversion to taking chemistry for the lab, I would go ahead and take it - especially if it will boost your GPA. A lot of programs that I'd applied to required it, and it'll...
You shouldn't have to apply for Financial Aid before accepting your admission offer for JHU. If they offer you a scholarship, it seems that they usually call students within a week of them receiving...
