What are my chances of being admitted at Johns Hopkins for Nursing?


I am a soph with a cumulative GPA of 3.756, one C (not a science), one B and A's in the rest of my classes. I am currently doing volunteer work at a local hospital, have a certified nurse assistant licensure, currently working for a health insurance company as a case management assistant. I am a member of the AGS honor society in my college. What are the chances of being admitted for a bachelors in nursing at Johns Hopkins Univesity? What are the recruiters looking for and what else can I do to improve my chances?

You sound like a pretty good candidate for Johns Hopkins. Johns Hopkins is highly competitive so great grades, good extra curriculars, and plenty of experience are a must. The fact that you volunteer for a local hospital, already have a CNA licensure, work for a helath insure company, and have maintained your good grades shows how truly dedicated to health care you are. Continuing to maintain your grades and extra curricular activities is important.

Now, the important thing for you to do is to not mess up the application process. Apply early and keep up on all the paperwork. Make sure Johns Hopkins gets all your transcripts and other paperwork in plenty of time for the due date. I don't know if they do interviews at Johns Hopkins, but if so, make sure to dress appropriately and do your best to wow them in the interview. If you have to write an essay, take your time to make sure it is just right. If they require letters of recommendation, make sure you ask your professors or whoever early so they have plenty of time to write a great letter for you.

You sound like an ideal candidate, but if you are really worried about it, you can try contacting someone in the admissions or recruiting office for their advice.

Best of luck to you getting in. And best of luck to you in nursing school, once you get excepted. It's hard work, but TOTALLY worth it.
