Thanks! I'm definitely so happy and grateful for getting in. It's just a wild ride. I'm also from the east coast so it would have been amazing to experience the pacific northwest, but oh well. Not part of the plan for right now I guess! Best of luck to you ❤️ Thank you, wishing the best for you too!! Everyone on this thread is incredibly accomplished and deserving of all the acceptances in the world. Good luck!

LOL, outright rejected. Rejected from OHSU ABSN too. Johns Hopkins it is.

That is so awesome. I would love to take advantage of that! Compared to some other forums I've been a part of/trolled, this one is by far the nicest group of people I've come into contact with. You guys are really amazing and super positive. Thanks!

Haha, I'm actually re-watching it now! As far as program, I only applied to MDE for both Columbia and JHU. Thank you for the insight on which to pick, that is good to know about the specialty, and I don't know exactly what I want to specialize in, so this makes a difference!

This is super helpful info and I really appreciate all of it! Especially since no one in my family is in nursing so other than congratulating me they don't have much in the way of advice. So seriously, thank you!

Sweet, yeah I feel you on Philly, it's also a super fun city (amazing music scene and always sunny apparently). I'm from NY and I went to school in Jersey so I'm actually trying to get a little away and so JHU is more enticing than Columbia haha. Absurd about the other schools. I was SO surprised about JHU because I was getting rejected everywhere else haha. I honestly didn't think I was going to get into a program but when all hope seemed lost I got the acceptance. I think for me it was a little weird background. I studied History and environmental studies and thought I was going to law school but then some life events led me to nursing. Not the traditional route by any means haha. But that's why I appreciate JHU, because they saw the potential in me and had enough trust in my academic background to give me a shot.

To be honest I'm not sure. Right now I'm really focused on getting my master's in nursing and seeing where that takes me. I don't have really any healthcare experience (studied History in undergrad haha) so I really want to just get some experience/schooling under my belt before I know exactly where my path will lead me.

I was just admitted into Columbia off the waitlist yesterday (wild). Now I'm deciding between Columbia and JHU. Anyone else in this boat? Also, fun fact, these are the only two schools I was admitted to LOL. I got outright rejected from OHSU Ashland ABSN, Norwich ABSN, Northeastern, UW ABSN, and waitlisted for Pacific Lutheran, Regis Loretto, and another one that I can't remember. This process is absolutely insane.

I was also admitted off the waitlist! I got a call from ya boy José on Tuesday and got my acceptance letter last night. Good luck to everyone else still waiting!

Also received my interview invitation today. I'm pretty torn because I got denied from the Ashland ABSN program and accepted into Johns Hopkins MSN program. It's hard for me to turn down an accelerated masters in nursing for a 3-year BSN program, but I love Ashland and I've wanted to spend significant time in Oregon for a while (I'm from the east coast and my partner grew up in Ashland). I also know how much people want to go to OHSU so I'm really sorry if this is coming across as insensitive. I hope everyone is doing well in their own process and some good news is coming your way whether from OHSU or elsewhere.

Just got the email for an interview invitation for OHSU Ashland BSN program.

This is a really dumb question but does anyone know how many months this program is? Is it two academic years and a Summer in between?

Thanks homie, and thank you again for all your help on this forum. You've been a real one! Good luck to you on your journey!

That's so wild! I'd love to chat, I wish there was a private way I could give you my contact info? I'm definitely going to reserve my spot, I can't imagine I'll get in to any other schools any better (I'm waitlisted at Columbia and everywhere else I applied isn't as good as JHU).

You too my friend. Life works in mysterious ways. Good luck on your journey!
