Hey! For everyone hearing good news today, congratulations! Just wanted to remind any SUMMER entrants that a facebook group was started to connect with people.

Hey everybody! I am not sure if there is already a facebook group. This forum at times is a bit hard for me to follow and not being able to PM anyone is frustrating. I thought we could share more advice especially about housing, what to review, etc. It's an open group called "Johns Hopkins School of Nursing May 2013 Cohort" (Long, I know) and I can't find it when I search it but the link should work below. I made a page too - titled the same, which is more visible on facebook but less conducive to conversation. I hope to meet some people there! Here's the link for the group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/542933562392876/ Let me know if people have trouble finding it.

I got a call around 11 AM this morning too. I am only doing the ABSN (for now!) but I am still in shock. I did not think I had any chance so I am thrilled to be joining the class! BAH! Good luck to everyone!

I want to be a Neonatal NP. I have a phone interview on Thursday (just found out late last night!). Thanks for your input hopeful!

I think I had a decent story for my personal statements. I am a little bit worried about my clinical experience I suppose, but I have shown efforts to increase this background while I can. Very diverse - #1s like Penn and JHU and #50s like GW and Jefferson.

I am new to this forum, but I have been reading all of your posts for the last week and realized that I would benefit from asking a few questions. I'll just go one question at a time. My most pressing question is how I stand currently. I've submitted most of my applications so far and I KNOW that it depends on the applicant pool which can vary from year to year, but since I don't know ANYONE else applying to programs like me, it's been hard to determine if I've applied to schools way out of my league or maybe haven't challenged myself enough. Here are my stats - I know you all aren't professionals on this, but you seem to have done enough research that I am confident any and all advice would be helpful! GPA: 3.40 (currently finishing my undergrad in Bioethics) GRE: 158 in both Verbal and Math Full-time summer internship in Endoscopy at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital Currently volunteering at hospice inpatient unit Spent this past summer and this semester loading on extra classes to finish prerequisites - all As except 1 B+ in HA&PI I really appreciate any of your thoughts about this or what you think I can do in the meantime to improve my application in the event that I am not accepted somewhere. Thanks!
