Hello all! Much to my absolute shock, I was accepted to JHU for the traditional program! I applied entirely on a whim as I never thought they would accept me, so I am absolutely thrilled to get in, but have realized I know NOTHING about Baltimore! I was/am born and raised in Oregon, and have never even visited the east coast. Can anyone give me some info regarding areas near the JHMI that are on the transit lines (I won't have a car) and are not too spendy, but aren't trashy? Any info, be it warnings of where to avoid or endorsements of places to live would be WONDERFUL. Absolutely any input is appreciated! Thank you!!! [email protected]

I am planning to apply to Lakeview College of Nursing this coming year and I was hoping someone could help me out with the campus choices. I have to choose either the Danville or EIU Campus and, having never been to Illionois, I have no clue what the pros and cons of either are. Can any give me a rough idea? Thanks!

I'm finding this all quite interesting... It seems there is no consistent standard for the nursing schools. I had a 3.3 and am currently a Junior at Oregon State with an internship at OHSU last summer, as well as some volunteer time. From what's been posted it sounds like they take anyone between a 3.3 and a 3.8 so I am really curious as to what the standard they used is. Perhaps they accept the lower GPA's because you already have a B.S.? I do think the nursing pre-req GPA is probably a big factor. I would love to corner one of the admissions people and find out what exactly it is that they want because I am quite perplexed at this point.

I had a mix-up regarding financial aid with U of Portland which required me to call their admissions office and be sure my acceptance letter wasn't lost in the mail. They informed me that all acceptance letters had been mailed 2 weeks ago (3 weeks now) and they were compiling a wait list. They were hoping to send the wait list and decline letters out by the start of this week (apr.4). I received a rejection from OHSU today and to say the least I am quite dissapointed as I have now been rejected from 2 of 4 universitys I applied to and I doubt I will get in to Linfield or Seattle U since I didn't get in to the other two. May I inquire as to what kinds of experience and GPA those of you who were accepted to OHSU and UofP had? If you would prefer not to say, I understand. I'm just trying to figure out what it's going to take for me to get in!
