PoetWhittier

Marwa T. Hopkins is very good at self advertisement. That is not to say my classmates did not love the program - many did. But even they tended to whine alot to get what they wanted out of it. As a minority male, I admit some bias, but a good number ...

I took the NCLEX-RN on 9/30 and got the NEW message. My License is active as of today, so the message is accurate. From what I've read, if you fail, it will continue to take you to the cc page. Congratulations! You are a RN. Don't unnecessarily purch...

Hi I graduated from JHUSON ABSN program, and I wouldn't recommend it. I'd say go there ONLY if it's the only program that accepts you or if you have no time to apply to other programs. No matter how wonderful an experience it promises, you'll come o...

If you're RD, you won't hear back til around the middle of Jan, Feb or early march. Certainly not to rub salt in any wounds, how did they phrase things in "the dreaded letter"?

I know I have the benefit of being free from the near paralytic anxiety alot of you are experiencing, but, and I'm not preaching here, it's important at this point to surrender to the opinion that they have reasons for informing acceptees as they hav...

It varies between 7-12%,; it's most often 10%. We can reasonably expect 15 per cohort.

No, I meant 11/26- I just got it like that! haha. I kid, yes, I meant 10/26:up:...sorry. NYU was my backup senario. I'm now wondering how many other male acceptees there were.

rockkstarr, First, I think you're in... From the little I remember, it wasn't specificied how many acceptances were already made. She called then said she wanted to be one of the first to congratulate me on being accepted to both portions (she interv...

I'm genuinely sorry to hear that. You may want to consider petitioning the decision.

I got my acceptance call today! . I think they only call BSN/MSN applicants and not BSN only applicants. Sso I'm in ABSN/MSN: Health Systems Management.

Based on trends from previous years (posts on this forum), I strongly believe they'll be making calls through tuesday. I have a hunch we'll all be attending.

I just got my call! I'm in for the ABSN/MSN Health Systems Management! I couldn't even listen to her properly, I was so excited. I'll have to write and apologize! Good luck everyone!

Coping :- prepare for the decision to go either way, and keep it together if you're rejected. Should the latter occur, allow yourself the necessary time to grieve then move on (if not of your own accord, then by surrendering to the inevitable and con...

Theoretically, this shouldn't affect the ability to call...unless they want to use that time to review applications. It's not a big deal or anything, and I'm certainly not preaching how they should notify students (particuarly as my future is at thei...

The earliest admissions notices go out arond DEC 9th or so, based on forum posts of admission from 2008.

shallowhorn i live in monterey county, 1 hr south of san jose (i say this because some ppl don't know where mc is) where'd you do you undergrad?

Good stuff. UCSF, I've heard, is the best program in the country, generally speaking. The wife of a friend attended there for Psychiatric nursing; she absolutely raves about the quality of experience, particularly the instruction. She mentioned, of c...

Would you mind sharing your impressions of the other programs?

Thank your sharing that experience. It was a well written and interesting post...of perfect length =) I'm secure in my decision to not visit JHU only because being a military brat made me something of a chameleon. Or maybe it's blind faith. Or the i...

Thanks for the link; it definately read as if he were speaking about JHU collectively. I've gotten over the nervousness, and even the excitement, of waiting, Now I'm just kinda bored, waiting to execute the next stage of planning.

I also had my (phone) interview recently, and I actually enjoyed it. The admissions officer was extremely knowledgeable, well spoken and professional, but totally nice. I also found it to be conversational, but I got a string of questions that were e...

rockkstar- PoetWhittier is an oxymoron to an extent; it references Whittier College whose mascot is a poet. This was my first choice college for undegrad; got accepted, but couldn't bridge the gap financially, so went to a state school alternatively....

rockkstarr I'm more concerned about the content of my recommendations than my own essays, even though I'm confident my choices were my best bets since I had an established relationship with each. (My chemistry teacher, biology teacher and immediate s...

Jesie, I actually enjoyed the challenge of expressing myself in so few words (although i think i went slightly over 300 on each, which may or may not hurt my chances). The word limit is imposed to measure our ability to write economically and follow...

Applied ED Acc. BSN/MSN. Was confident at first, but after reading threads from previous years ,where other applicants had similar credentials and background to mine, I'm not so sure anymore. The combined acceptance rate is 15% correct? Did anyone ap...
