Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

[MarwaT]

Okay I have searched far and wide to find a topic relating to this but have only found older ones... I mean come on guys the world isn't really going to end December 2012. So here's to the 2012 application cycle!

I have a ton of questions for those who are applying and those who have applied and those who are in the program. Any and all input will be much appreciated. Also just so you know, I will be attending the October 1st open house.

If I were to describe myself, I would say grade-wise I am not the strongest candidate for JHU's nursing program as it is considered top in the nation. HOWEVER I have great experience and recommendations to cancel that out. I am also trying really really hard to make those essays seem great but only 300 words?

So to anyone reading this post, what do you think I can do to make myself a stronger applicant?

Relating to specifically JHU, I have heard a million different things about their program. From "it really sucks and is not worth it" to "best program EVER". JHU is supposed to be a school that is the leader in research and also has a global perspective. Can anyone else tell me what is so special about JHU's nursing program? What is your personal experience with it?

As far as location and campus, I think it doesn't matter as long as the educational program is incredible.

p.s. You are awesome for reading my novel. There have been many a times where I skipped over long posts.

I only applied ABSN. Anyone else in my shoes? I wonder if they are calling the BSN/MSN applicants first? There is nothing in my mailbox yet...

I got accepted at around 2:40ish PST! My mom and I were in the car talking about how I would have to wait until tomorrow. Then I just got a phone call from a 410 area! My mom started crying and it was crazy...lol.

I truly hope everyone else on this forum gets accepted. I know the wait it extremely painful but just one more day~
