Does anyone think we will hear back next week? Last year they heard back around beginning of feb

I was told that we would hear back by the beginning of March, though this might have just been the "latest" we'd hear back..

I haven't checked online for the status. I did get an email back on January 7 that said my application was complete; I had needed to submit updated transcripts for a prereq I took in the fall.

In the same email, it said, "[y]ou should hear of your admissions status by the end of February." If you really want an idea when you'll hear back, there is probably threads from previous years and people posting when they got decisions.

I know it can be nerve wracking waiting to hear, especially if it is your top choice, only choice, and what not. Have faith in what you have to offer, what you presented, and how you fit within their vision.

Hi guys! I emailed ******************* on 1/24 and he said we should hear back by late February.

Then, the end of the month will be good or bad news, depending on your point of view.

Does anyone know how we are notified of admissions decisions? Is it via email?

Does anyone know how many applications this program receives and how many people they admit?

Has anyone been accepted to other programs yet? And which programs did you apply to/are your top ones?

Hello! I have applied to 8 in total, and have heard from 4 so far. Two were acceptances from Columbia University (DNP) and the University of Pennsylvania (MSN). The other two were rejections from UC San Francisco (MSN) and the University of San Diego (MSN). How about you?

I applied to several different programs--ADN, BSN, and direct entry MSN. Got waitlist and later accepted into CSU East Bay spring 2020 cohort (BSN) and Johns Hopkins fall 2020 cohort. I gave up CSUEB for JHU. I also got rejected by the University of San Diego.

My top choices for MSN are UCLA and JH. BSN was CSUEB or San Diego State. For the ADN were Solano Community and Napa Valley because they were the local schools.

My top choice overall is JHU. I was able to get into the early decision pool. I've already gone to their Accepted Students Day, and it appears it will be a very good opportunity. I also got some scholarship money. The tuition is expensive. Unless UCLA offers a significant amount of scholarship/grant money, I'll stick with JHU. I'm actually excited I got into JHU

For the most part, my acceptances and rejections were what I was expecting. Although, I thought CSUEB got me a spot a month earlier than I expected.

The funny part, it was through talking with ************ that I got the confidence to apply to both JHU and UCLA. Some schools, namely UC Davis, outright told me not to apply because my bachelor issue school transcripts did not show a cumulative GPA 3.0, not to bother applying; they would not consider any of my academic work prior to transferring. He gave me a realistic assessment and what I would need. I am not guaranteed a spot.

Do you know if that number includes incomplete apps or apps of individuals who didn't meet the minimum requirements?
