How many of you have applied for the 2013 Accelerated BSN/MSN program at JHU SON? I applied early decision and completed my phone interview on the 26th. They said they will start making decisions calls around the December 15th which is a Saturday so I'm sure we won't hear anything until the 17th or later.
Is anyone else as anxious as I am to hear back from them? I even made a vision board on my fridge that reads: I WILL GET ACCEPTED INTO THE JOHNS HOPKINS BSN/MSN PROGRAM STARTING SUMMER 2013. Positive thoughts work, right?
FYI: I also applied to Columbia, Ohio State, and UCLA.
CNP did you get my latest email? I had another question too. Are the decisions being called on Monday and Tuesday or is it in upcoming weeks? I have deposits due at other schools soon and I don't really want to throw away $500 if I don't have to...
I hear you Healer's Art, I just got two acceptance letters in the mail this morning (but not from JHU...sad) and they are asking that I put down my deposit buy March 8! Hopefully we'll hear from JHU early next week! Good luck!
CNP, do you know how many applicants there were total? Now I am at that point in my dramatic moment where I am crunching numbers and doing probabilities...
Okay....step back and stop that right now, take a break and breathe haha. They honestly don't publish those stats so what I can say is we did receive a high amount of applications this cycle with more of those being for Fall. Considering they haven't finalized everything yet I don't even have a clear idea of how many applicants, acceptance rates etc. Just remember there is no "perfect student" they are looking for and they don't compare people...there are a multitude of factors that play into a decision.
Part of why this is so nerve wracking for me is because I was early decision, then they moved me to the regular decision pool. That means I have been waiting four months since my application was in and I interviewed. It is very anxiety producing, and JHU is my dream school and logistically is the easiest (my fiance is a post-doc and has a connection at NIDA). I know that everything is going to work out, what ever the outcome, but I feel strung along (I know I am not alone in this feeling) and just want answers.
Hopefully they'll get decisions out next week, rather than two weeks from now. Thanks again CNP!
It's really annoying that other schools have such a short amount of time within which you have to respond, which may or may not correspond with response times from other schools. One thing that is super classy about JHU is that the response deadline is May 1. I wish all schools would take notice and do likewise.
Congrats to those who have gotten good news. Did anyone just apply to the ABSN summer program? I don't believe those of us who just applied to the ABSN had to have an interview. Also, I am confused if we were supposed to hear back on the same date as those who applied to the absn/msn program. Is anyone else in this position?
Correct only BSN-MSN folks have an interview. They only started with notifications on Friday so that was the first wave, they will be continuing this week. For whatever reason on Friday it was mainly Fall decisions that went out. Hope that helps!
Does anyone know if for those who applied BSN/msn and didn't hear Friday, that could mean (besides that we didn't get in) that they have made a decision and just didn't get around to notifying us, or if they still need to make that decision?
yes!- I haven't heard back either and many people supposedly haven't heard back from the summer. Hopefully we hear back tomorrow or in the next few days
I'm a BSN/MSN applicant. Hoping to hear good news tomorrow. Did anyone receive an acceptance phone call on Friday from an admissions officer other than the one that interviewed them? I interviewed in November, but not with the admissions officer that represents my geographic location.
