Don't be discouraged @SNP22. It's rolling admission. Have you checked SURFS?

Hey Penrn,

I was accepted to Georgetown as well. They only offer loans and I believe Maryland actually gives scholarships to those who are instate

SNP22,

@Aapage87, that's good to know. I'll look into it. I hope I can get enough scholarships to pay it all. I've paid off my loans from grad school and almost done paying off undergrad loans. I do not want to go back in the debt cycle.

My status still says Committee Ready. I'm still being confident that it will all work out. Thank God I was accepted to Georgetown so either way I am on my way to becoming a Nurse. It will all work out guys!

SimSmo, not sure about that, but I did discuss the differences in the program at my interview at UMD. My interviewer said that (in a nutshell) the JHU cohort seems to come largely from across the country, and those people scatter across the country and globe after graduation, whereas UMD seems to attract people from the local and regional area, and many stay and work in the immediate area. I have heard that JHU has a more global focus, though at accepted students' day, they sure showed that students (at least while in the SON) are obviously very rooted in Baltimore and do a lot in the Baltimore community. I am not sure about differences in job prospects, other than the obvious: UMD grads can sit for the CNL exam. At the JHU SON accepted students' day, at least half of the panel of current students (people graduating this June and others who have another year to go) said that they plan to almost immediately enter the DNP program. (The others said they plan to go right to work as bedside nurses.)

@JulietMei, have you decided where you'll enroll? JHU or UM?
