Summer Entry 2013 Accelerated BSN/MSN Johns Hopkins

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

Hi everyone,

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? :saint:

FYI: I also applied to Columbia, Ohio State, and UCLA.

Does anyone know if they interview all applicants to the ABSN-MSN program (early decision)?

Yes I believe everyone is interviewed.

@salinn Thanks. So in that case I'm not sure what to make of my application status. I applied to ABSN-MSN early decision, though my online application status wasn't updated to complete until December 10 (despite all materials submitted by the ED deadline). And, I have not had an interview.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

FingersCross'd, I am 99.9% positive that RD applicants have not received decisions yet! So hang tight :)

Adhir, yes, it is binding. Here are the regulations regarding it - I called the admissions office previously to see if this was the case for nursing as well, and they said yes and that by checking that box on the application, that you understood the terms of the agreement: Johns Hopkins University Office of Undergraduate Admissions - Apply - Frequently Asked Questions - Early Decision

izzieboo, I have no idea if everyone is interviewed. I honestly am not sure because that isn't something they advertise the statistics for. You'd have to contact the school and see. I think that is all just hearsay. I'm not early decision and I received my interview invitation in October.

Ya I read. Like I said I am going there 100%. Hopefulnurse- your first choice is duke though right?

People who are accepted..does anyone know what's the safest and closest place to live around johns hopkins nursing?

I thought it was Duke but after visiting Penn and seeing how much I liked it, I decided I want to see all of the schools before coming to a decision (if accepted).

ya penn is really nice..I applied there too, had a phone interview. How's the jhu campus? I have never been. My cousin goes to penn so i know how that is. JHU was my first choice just because it has the same reputation and ill finish earlier...But now I am kind of nervous about the financial aid package from jhu.

I haven't been to the JHU campus yet, I did a phone interview. If I get in though, I'm probably going to go up for the day and look around so I can get a feel for everything and see how I like the campus. A lot depends on financial aid, just like for you.

This is random, but why did you opt for a phone interview at Penn and not an in person interview?

They said it didn't matter if you do a phone interview or in person. It would have been such a hassle to go there in this cold weather and it didn't matter to me if i get in at penn or jhu...so I wanted to do the same for both schools. I live in the east coast tho but just hate traveling in cold.

@ Fingers cross'd- I also applied regular decision and had my interview roughly 8 weeks ago.. the admissions officer said I would be notified within 6-weeks. But then I called her after 6-weeks and then she said dec 15..I dont want to hassle her again but I want to know already!!! this waiting game is terrible..

SFpnponc I know, me too!! I am getting so antsy, haha! I called on Friday and they implied we would know within the next two weeks. Decisions can't come soon enough! :)

That is VERY exciting for you guys! I applied for fall, had my interview about 7 weeks ago, and I'm honestly not sure when I will know if I got in or not. I haven't gotten the same answer from ANYONE yet! Ahh! I'm nervous but excited as well!
