Johns Hopkins (JHU) (2023-2024)

[hollow bay]

so a 1490 is not THAT bad

still bad but not that bad

but for hopkins go test optional

[queen sky]

yea cool

[hollow bay]

we're 40 points below the 25%

[queen sky]

it def gon hurt harder for Hopkins

[hollow bay]

yep

but tbh i'm still considering going test optional for others unis too

[queen sky]

well i didn't go test optional for Harvard

even my dream school

lol

[hollow bay]

what's harvard's 25%

[queen sky]

i think it's also about 1500-1510

i don't remember

[hollow bay]

i just checked

it's actually 1490

so yea i would've submitted too

[queen sky]

oh yea

so i was just on it

thats why i submitted

[hollow bay]

keep in mind it won't give you an advantage

it probably won't affect ur chances that much tbh

what are you majoring in btw

[queen sky]

mol bio

i actually like history of med more but im an asian kid forced into stem

ill decide if i enroll

[hollow bay]

oh you should've told me this from the beginning boss

yea ofc you shouldn't submit

[queen sky]

i actually want to put history of med on top

i am actually interested in the subject

[hollow bay]

well major in it then

don't let anybody else take decisions on your behalf

it's your life, you're the one who's gonna study i don't know how many years

[queen sky]

i mean they dont admit by major

for Harvard i deliberately chose to declare history and science (yk similar deal)

[valid oyster]

Here’s my opinion is ur gpa within the jhu average gpa then I wouldn’t submit it but let’s say ur gpa is on the lower side, like hypothetically speaking like a 3.6 I would submit 1490

[trail panther]

Yea I agree

[hollow bay]

u think that's what i should do for other unis as well?

[valid oyster]

Yes, but again it’s up to u and this just my opinion

[queen sky]

hi my school doesn't do GPA and my grades are already the best u can get

[twilit knot]

isnt test op bad for intls

1490 is good, just submit it lol

[queen sky]

wtf

but it's much lower than 1520

JHU's mid 25%

I'm torn af

[twilit knot]

ur forgetting why the average is higher

its because t/o exists

ppl under 1500 r scared to submit, artificially raising the average

[queen sky]

well that could mean those who got in without 1500 went TO

[novel crescent]

i was test optional and a few of my friends were as well

[queen sky]

Alright anyway I submitted my app

Went test optional cuz I feel like I can’t rival Chinese kids anyway

Plus I did rd and that might be kind of bad

But anyway

Less obsession = higher chance of success I believe

[sterile compass]

@novel crescent Would you mind reviewing my essay? I'm CE or CS btw.

[urban badger]

guys

is 292 words kinda low?

[twilit knot]

try for 300+

so add an extra sentence

and make sure ur essay fully answers the ptompt

[urban badger]

oh I'm an idiot

it was an why us essay for some part

60 words will be good but idk what to write

my essay pointed out "uniqueness and differences among people"

I believe there isnt a specific thing about that at JHU

[deft veldt]

Was the limit like 350? That’s fine as long as u said what u needed to say

[novel crescent]

sure dm it to me im about to go on vacation so ill try my best to look at it before the deadline

[urban badger]

should I bold it like that?

[sterile compass]

sent it

[odd minnow]

damn tis school only got 1 supplemental ?

what tis school value heavily

[eager bluff]

Does John Hopkins not use parchment to send high school transcripts for first years?

Nvr mind I found where to submit

[heady mist]

.

[deft veldt]

I JUST REALIZED MY WHOLE JHU ESSAY IS LIKE 400 words

NOW I HAVE TO EDIT IT UGHH

[valid oyster]

Submitted John Hopkins

But essay felt mid ngl now reading it again

[median bane]

Don’t read it after submitting lol

[valid oyster]

Nah it’s over I read it over but the flow between narrative and like to next paragraph sucks. I mean luckily i had a fee waiver so no loss there

[smoky verge]

does this school take SRAR

[plush cobalt]

Help

My demons took over

And I left a cringey comment under jhu 's insta post lmao

And deleted it right away 😹

[finite quartz]

how did you get a fee waiver for JHU?

[valid oyster]

It was common app

Apply for fee waiver

And I also got a physical mail for it also

[finite quartz]

oh interesting

[wintry yew]

was it due at 12pm EST

or 12 pm your time?

cause my jhu was submitted round 10pm PST

im not sure if i needa send in an email or something

[subtle comet]

I’m pretty sure it’s Your time, don’t worry, you should be fine

[wintry yew]

Yeah it was due my time I checked

Got worried for nothing

[subtle comet]

Good luck!

[wintry yew]

Thanks, you too!

[queen sky]

how long does it take to get my applicant portal email

can any EDers tell me?

[brittle zealot]

Same question

Did yall get any confirmation email from johns hopkins or smth

[hollow bay]

yep

[brittle zealot]

How many hours after u submitted

[hollow bay]

[brittle zealot]

[remote fiber]

[unique raven]

Oh sick

[urban badger]

[urban badger]

even a school specific one

[deft veldt]

i got mine and i submitted jhu like 8pm cst yesterday

and i got the portal maybs 9 or 11 am

[ivory fractal]

did anyone get an email saying u didnt submit ur application

I did though before 11:59 in my time

its saying that theyve extended the deadline or smth

but on common app is shows submitted so maybe it went past est? 😭

[craggy finch]

do i need a counselor recommendation?

[valid oyster]

whered u find that because i used a fee waiver and dont see that

is there a place in johns hopkins where i can upload documents

because i need to upload my css changed and updated doc

[queen sky]

why does my portal show that my recommendations and school reports are missing

they're submitted from my common app and I don't have to do anything else right

is this a processing issue?

[unique raven]

Yeah same

Only checks are what I have submitted

So main essay

And supplement

[twilit knot]

did u use the fee waiver lol

[urban badger]

yesss

lol

idk why it happened

[lament locust]

Did anyone else forget to submit the supplement on time

I submitted my application by the deadline but forgot to submit the supplement

[brittle zealot]

Me

[lament locust]

Rip

I emailed them

So stupid how they have that

[brittle zealot]

Didnt they

extend the deadline tho

I heard they made it 8th Jan so the supplements should go thru

I got my portal and stuff btw

[lament locust]

Where’d they say that

My CommonApp said deadline passed

[twilit knot]

Hey

[brittle zealot]

Probably to applicants who didnt send their app in

I saw this on a reddit post

[twilit knot]

Did anyone get ED2 request

[brittle zealot]

Me

[trail panther]

Wtf is an ed2 request 😭

[twilit knot]

Dang I thought I was special

[twilit knot]

They asked me to swap to ED2 instead of RD

switch your application to Early Decision II (EDII).

Benefits of applying Early Decision II

You'll receive your admissions decision earlier—on February 16 instead of March 20.

You'll receive the same consideration for need-based and merit aid as long as you apply for financial aid by the January 15 deadline.

To switch your admissions plan to EDII:
Submit your Admissions Plan Change Request Form.
Log in to your applicant portal.
Select the Admissions Plan Change Request Form.
Select EDII as the option you would like to change to.
Complete the Early Decision Agreement.
You must submit the Admissions Plan Change Request Form and Early Decision Agreement by 11:59 p.m. EST (UTC-5:00) on Tuesday, January 16, 2024.

Keep in mind, all Early Decision plans are binding agreements to enroll if admitted. If you decide that applying Regular Decision still best fits your plans, no action is necessary.

We appreciate your interest in Hopkins and look forward to reviewing your application materials.

[trail panther]

What the…..

[wintry yew]

[trail panther]

[brittle zealot]

[brittle zealot]

Yup

[wintry yew]

[brittle zealot]

[brittle zealot]

[valid oyster]

[errant fjord]

[twilit knot]

[errant fjord]

the fafsa is the bane of my existence

government hates me fr

[urban badger]

generic

[deft veldt]

When can u expect an interview for rd

[deft veldt]

I got that too lol

[trail panther]

idt they do interviews

wait y'all for the hs transcript thing on ur portal r we supposed to upload it or is our counselor supposed to

[amber mulch]

any jhu students (or anyone) know much about their new school of government and public policy? ik it doesnt open for a while but are there some programs for undergrad students?

[trail panther]

Erm not a JHU student but I read an article that was they expect to open undergraduate classes for it in 2026

[neon palm]

Guys in FAFSA for JHU is the code E00473? because that's what it says everywhere but on the FAFSA website I see one with just number with JHU's name. This(E00473) says for Arts Science and Engineering.

[hushed flume]

guys, how do i sign my ED agreement? (i just switched from RD to EDII after submitting my application)

[sacred pier]

do they give you like an common app pdf that u have to sign and stuff

[hushed flume]

idk tbh

they did give me a forum

but where do i send it?

[wintry yew]

gl!

[hushed flume]

thanks!

[hidden merlin]

I know this is dumb, but are there mostly pre med/stem students in this channel? Any humanities majors?

[unique raven]

Im premed

[deft veldt]

I’m not pre med or stem

Public health and pre law 🤭

[wintry yew]

Same

[median bane]

I applied poli sci

Depends on if u classify that as humanities

[deft veldt]

very humanities

and why jhu for poli sci?

[median bane]

Only applied as that. Probably gonna end up doing sth else

[subtle comet]

I applied Int Studies

[queen sky]

pre med but I want to do history of medicine

that's what I applied for

[hidden merlin]

Dang I'm majoring in Classics bc they have a crazy good program 😭

[twilit knot]

what do u wanna do after college

[tranquil peak]

im sociology

[hidden merlin]

It kinda depends on which college I end up at, but most likely Law School

[trail panther]

Wait that’s so cool Omg I wanted to do a classics minor

[hidden merlin]

You should definitely! Or at least try to explore some courses in the department while you're in college 🙂

[sour depot]

i didn't have jhu on my common app list before so i didn't get the extended deadline email, but do yall think they would still take my app if i submitted now?

[brittle zealot]

Probably

[deft veldt]

classics is super cool!

[raw tree]

ayyy

[sacred pier]

Sent today

Hope they will download it

[hushed flume]

guys, how do i sign my ED agreement? (i just switched from RD to EDII after submitting my application)

it shows me as 'awaiting' on my status portal

[deft veldt]

when i heard joe hospin accepts my associates degree 😍

[median bane]

Have you visited campus

[hushed flume]

na

i am an international

[median bane]

why ED2 then

[hushed flume]

I like JHU

[hushed flume]

Esp the kind of workt hey are doing im the research field i want to go into

But i am concerned on how do i send the ed agreement ?

[trail panther]

Wait can u screenshot portal cuz for mine it said like change decision round or smth

[valid oyster]

can i attach a resume in my application or no

[gilded nova]

was there an extension?

[brittle zealot]

Yea

Til 8th

[queen sky]

wtf do I do about my financial aid for JHU

I can't compete the FAFSA form due to stupid issues of the website

the required documents for IDOC aren't popping up in my dashboard

but I've already submitted the CSS

[valid oyster]

does jhu ask for idoc. i havent gotten anything from them abt css

[valid oyster]

does jhu have a place to add anything else to ur application, like i want to add a resume and also send my css correction form

[queen sky]

same issue

[raw tree]

email them

yes u can add

[raw tree]

jhu usually doesnt ask for idoc

[raw tree]

they allow resume, css corrections, research abstracts or basically anything u them to consider

fair warning if u get a particular asian women as ur AO please be super formal she doesnt like humor at all i found out the hard way

[deft veldt]

upload idoc

[deft veldt]

my AO is the complete opposite

curious how did u find this out about her 💀

[raw tree]

oh i was called out in an email for not respecting her authority

when i didnt write the hello before the email

and she replied to it after more than 40 days of me sending it

fun times

[raw tree]

it was lit a simple email like hey just a quick email checking to make sure about the interview policy

gawd i hate her

[deft veldt]

i dont know what to say 😂

seems like she had a problem

[raw tree]

she does

if i had a good sat score i would have said she was baised as fuck towards me

but ehh we will never know

[deft veldt]

dont worry u got into OXFORD

like thats crazy

[raw tree]

i didnt

[deft veldt]

prob better than jhu

[raw tree]

dude u confusing me or who

[deft veldt]

isnt st hildas in oxford?

omg no wrong person

[raw tree]

gawd ur deffo confusing me for someone

the audacity of jhu to reject me and invite my dad the same day thoooo

[deft veldt]

but hey jhu's loss

[raw tree]

honestly yes

screw them i am finnaly over it

go to state school and outshine jhu bme kids

is the new plan

:D

[queen sky]

how do I do that

[trail panther]

Is anyone legit like missing everything on their checklist

[trail panther]

Wait Omg who

[broken pumice]

wait who

is it olivia

or someone else

thats crazy 💀

[urban badger]

wtf guys

I cant send my ielts scores to JHU?

[deft veldt]

Omgggg

I accidentally said I’d submit scores to washu

JHU

And I filled out that reversal form so quick after I found out

[errant fjord]

yo

did you figure it out yet

if not i'll tell you

[raw tree]

Rebecca Wang

if only i had a decent AO who loved me

:(

[keen hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/artms-oec-air-force-one-johns-hopkins-university-jhu-gif-12204527463903338337

[queen sky]

no I didnt

bro save me

[raw tree]

i m starting to hate life anyway if ya all can afford one year of tution ur chances of acceptance is like 75% higher

apprently if ur smart enough u can survive on merit aid from y2

[twilit knot]

jhu is need aware for intls so it probably plays a large role

[raw tree]

yea

had dad setup a call with them to look at my file and see why i didnt get in

it was because i m broke

:D

feels amazing

now my parents are trying to see if they are willing to accept me again if i m pay 100% of the cost

yes i m obsessed w jhu cant help it

[twilit knot]

crazy

[restive vine]

are you intl

[twilit knot]

i would not be willing to pay $80k per year for a school💀

[restive vine]

also, jhu generally doesn't let students see their admissions file until you get on campus

[twilit knot]

didnt let him see it lol

it is suspicious but its not out of the range of possibility

[restive vine]

well they're need aware for intl

so that might be possible

[twilit knot]

ur willing to put ur parents in like $320k worth of debt for jhu? 😭

[restive vine]

i still don't think they would tell anyone "you didn't get in bc money" since it's awful publicity and they don't allow appeals to rejections ;-;

[twilit knot]

why not apply to other schools

[olive ermine]

What's the summer school in JHU? It was a question in the certificate of finance.

[tranquil peak]

switched to ed2

[deft veldt]

kace stop, they have different circumstances

[twilit knot]

im not attacking them, they said theyre "broke" then said their parents r gonna be full-pay so they can go to jhu. im confused why they dont just go somewhere else or why jhu is so important that they would take out that many loans

also theyre probably lying lmfao 💀

as the other person said, jhu doesn't do appeals

[queen sky]

:PPPP yes I paid 5k to be there

i guess it adds no value to my application

[raw tree]

jhu also typically doesnt give grants of millions to the avg parent

[raw tree]

more like i have 120k in the bank i will blow thru that then pray on merit aid

[raw tree]

lol i have been obbessed with the school for a very long time

[raw tree]

my family has been super close with the jhu ccp, they are currently negotiating a muti year long muti million dollar project in my region of the world n yes they keep talking about how they dont do appeals but it cant hurt to throw all the resources u have at them.

also its the internet take everythign with a grain of salt

[valid oyster]

Is JHU need blind when it comes to us citizens

Tho

[twilit knot]

ye

[valid oyster]

And wait when did financial stuff become part of admission process aren’t they seperate

So how does it affect acceptance

Or does JHU consider financial as part of their admission process

Cuz if so that’s kinda fcked up

[twilit knot]

jhu only considers it for intls

they dont look at ur finances at all if ur domestic

its because they get government funding and dont wanna give tons of money to non-citizens

[raw tree]

they do for ints

[valid oyster]

Ah ic. Well I’m thankful that I’m a us citizen.

[finite quartz]

what was the css dilemma with jhu?

I haven't submitted yet

[valid oyster]

I think it was abt IDOC. Idk I forgot abt but for me I was unsure if they needed it

[finite quartz]

are you applying for fin aid?

[valid oyster]

Yes

[finite quartz]

oh interesting

[valid oyster]

Why is it interesting lol?

[finite quartz]

interesting that they didn't need your idoc

despite you applying for aid?

i think they need it for everyone applying for aid but i might be wrong

[valid oyster]

Ya I was confused abt that

I mean for

Stanford they asked

But weirdly enough I wasn’t given the option to put my asset down for fafsa

[finite quartz]

i am intl so at least i have no fafsa

[valid oyster]

Ah ic.

[finite quartz]

i will prolly submit css tomorrow tho

[edgy fiber]

i pray for this

everytime i start to procrastinate an assignment or my research paper i go to jhu.edu 😭

[tranquil peak]

wherw do i find the ed2 agreement?

switchrd plans yesterday

[hushed flume]

what should I enter as the 'college' in the ED form?

should i type 'John Hopkins'?

or the specific school i am applying to: "Whiting School of Engineering"

[tranquil peak]

do u have to wait for jhu to email u the ed agreement?

im so confused

tbey didnt give any instructions

or can yoj somehow change it on commonapp

[raw tree]

just email them aksing to switch pools

they will usually email u back saying u can be been switched and if they provide an agreement then ur good

if they do provide an agreement they will attach the pdf

its usually the general common app pdf u need to fill urself

[tranquil peak]

i switched rhe pools but the email didnt include the agreement so im confused

i emailed my ao

[raw tree]

in such cases just check if the portal updated and relax

if they need any documents from u they will email u

[tranquil peak]

the portal updated too but when i click on the agreement nothing pops up

[tranquil peak]

im j worried cuz i neef this in 4 days

[hushed flume]

i emailed them concerning them (twice), and they finally gave me the forum

[tranquil peak]

can you send it pls

[hushed flume]

sure

[sly acorn]

Ok, so are there any physics undergrads at jhu here

[rapid escarp]

anyone applying to DMP ?

[tranquil peak]

me

[novel crescent]

jhu is eh ngl so don't dream about it too much lol

[edgy fiber]

elaborate

[spark field]

jhu is in my future inbox

sending an email

that starts with

we are sorry

[novel crescent]

it's a good school don't get me wrong but what ur major is kinda defines ur experience

i've enjoyed my first semester (i didn't fail physics which was kicking my ass since day one) tho

[raw tree]

GUYS THISSS

dont dream about JHU too much or will end up like me

was obsessed for like years still cant belive they dont want me

[edgy fiber]

despise physics

[novel crescent]

my main advice is do not take physics at jhu... take it online somewhere save ur sanity

[raw tree]

https://tenor.com/view/jano-head-bang-gif-19181659

physics majors ^

[twin crystal]

Me applying to JHU for physics

[sly acorn]

Thanks man

[deft veldt]

i dont think i will, i was about to tho

[novel crescent]

don't worry u don't take general physics! u take classical mechanics where u have to code your graphs for lab!

[twin crystal]

😕

[tranquil peak]

ed2 agreement sent

ahh

how do u answer the dmp stuff?

and should i apply if i have 0 experiencr w public health

i have a very personal connection with public health though and passion for it i just havent had the chance to do anything with it

also who decides dmp?

the aos?

or the grad school aos

[rapid escarp]

i have no idea..

[rapid escarp]

i think u should def apply then

u will probably learn some stuff related to it in some undergrad courses

[novel crescent]

i applied ee with not much experience with it and got in, ik applications were already due but when i saw my admissiosn file they noted i didnt have experience but explained my passion and interest through my essays

[tranquil peak]

TRYE

[tranquil peak]

omg okay thats amazing then

congrats btw

btw guys jhu emailed my counselor abt missing materials and jt said that the mid year report is due feb 23 for ed2

[tranquil peak]

i couldnt find the due date anywhere else so just so yall know

[tranquil peak]

but thwy said if ur school is on a trimester schedule you can submit it later

[jade ibex]

I think there’s a committee of post who review this

[unique raven]

Do you mean Jan 23?

Isn’t fed based the release date

[tranquil peak]

no

feb 23

[unique raven]

For ed2

That’s quick turn around 😂😂😂

[unique raven]

That’s great

[tranquil peak]

yeah im sure they dont matter that much for ed2

[unique raven]

Yeah

[tranquil peak]

ikr

[unique raven]

Thank you!

[tranquil peak]

oooh okk

[tranquil peak]

ofc!

[deft veldt]

Anyone doing the dmp in global health

[rapid escarp]

[plush cobalt]

I wanted to but was too lazy and worhdrawed

[raw tree]

JHU students do u have access to a staff directory ? i need to get the email address to one of the faculty members

but cant find it online

[novel crescent]

what professor?

[raw tree]

nvm i found it

[novel crescent]

just a reminder its possible to get into jhu rd even though it doesnt seem like it with the stats, i never thought i would go there or even accepted just have faith in your application and enjoy the time before all the decisions come out (that week is really stressful)

[raw tree]

good luck to everyone

hopefully my ed rejection left a space open for someone more deserving in the RD round

[queen sky]

guys this is funny

I dreamed of having my UPenn interview at JHU campus lol it's crazy

[peak mauve]

thats double manifestation at the same time

very efficient

[deft veldt]

lol 😭

[delicate sundial]

hello

How long should the DMP application be? There's no specified word limit

[amber mulch]

does ED2ing vs RDing have any major impact on your acceptance chances

[jade ibex]

I believe that ED2 is slightly higher?

[quaint helm]

While filling out my certification of finances form, I am prompted to indicate if I am expecting any scholarships from other resources. If I include a scholarship that I have applied for but haven't received yet, do you think they will expect me to have the same amount, even if I am unable to secure the scholarship?

[quartz venture]

did anyone get into JHU as BME

[valid oyster]

Very close friend of mine did

But it was last yr

[quartz venture]

oh

[jade ibex]

i got in last year if there's any questions you want to ask

[hidden merlin]

How likely do you think Johns Hopkins needs a lowly Classics Major to spice up their applicant pool 😭

[median bane]

There are hundreds of you thinking the same

That’s all I’m gonna say

[hidden merlin]

I mean I would say I'm a well-qualified lowly Classics Major tho 😭

[median bane]

So are hundreds of others

[quartz venture]

uh just like the general questions

like what ECs and awards did you have

what did you feel like made you stand out

etc.

[jade ibex]

Send me a request and I’ll let u know :)

[smoky verge]

so they said the css is due tdy, i submitted but havent uploaded docs to idoc yet

is that also due tdy

[tranquil peak]

p sure jhu only ask for idoc in some circumstances

if its listed under your checklist submit

if not you dont have to

[smoky verge]

got it

its not under checklist

yeah i just opened idoc and only cornell is requesting

[tranquil peak]

ya ur fine then

[median thorn]

mine is sooo long

just hoping the AOs are willing to read allat

[raw tree]

ed effectively doubles ur chances

[raw tree]

so far none from A2C this year

i applied and was rejected

v sad

[raw tree]

i need to know ur stats

[tranquil peak]

there is

it’s 309 words

at least for global health

[median thorn]

does it say it in your portal?

[tranquil peak]

yea

[median thorn]

oh i see

for IS there is none

[raw tree]

i m regretting not applying for this

this is so dumbly easy

plus my profile was stacked w public health projects meh maybe next life

[tranquil peak]

ohhh weird

[nocturne plaza]

I PUT NORTHWESTERN IN MY JNU ESSAY NOOOP

[static wave]

GG

you’re cooked ngl…

[novel crescent]

oh no

[nocturne plaza]

What does this mean

Long story short I emailed them to change it but the changed essay had northwestern on it but now I’m worried it’s already “in the record” 😭😭

[sly acorn]

It is prolly in your admissions file by now 💀

[raw tree]

they just add a note to ur profile basically putting ur email there

hope the angry asian isnt ur AO otherwise most AOs are human enough to understand mistakes happen

[wintry yew]

i hear about the "angry asian"

but who are they

and why are they hated?

[raw tree]

because they get angry over small details like really tiny pointless ones and it influences their decisions on admissions bigtime

like not writing a salutation in the email u send them

[raw tree]

best you dont know

[wintry yew]

so theyre fucking insane

noted

i dont think i have them thankfully

[raw tree]

ayyy

nice

i wanna write a nice little email talking about the trauma they caused me but i shall save it for the next time they email about donations

[wintry yew]

you have them as your A/O?

[raw tree]

I had her as my AO

probably explains why i was rejected

it was deffo 1 out of the 2 factors for my rejection

other being i m an international with high financial need who went for BME

[wintry yew]

ah i see

so what types of mistakes has she been known to go hyper over?

like is it in communications or even itsy bitsy ones in the app/essays itself

[raw tree]

if they get mad over dumb emails obivious they gonna get mad at u missing the S in the Johns

but we dont know alot but all we know she is insane

[wintry yew]

damn

[raw tree]

very random but found this in the house recently

its just a random 30 yr old letter from JHU

[wintry yew]

damn

[sacred pier]

They put the email in your admission file

[nocturne plaza]

Annika wang? She’s my AO…

[nocturne plaza]

Bruh… that’s not good

I’d rather them just read my old essays than have a note saying i screwed up 😭

[wintry yew]

rest in peace

[nocturne plaza]

How do we know she’s the angry Asian ..

[raw tree]

she is not its Rebecca Wang

or annika and rebecca can be the same people

we will never know

[wintry yew]

More than one?

[static wave]

bro thats my AO💀

[peak mauve]

my ao is a nice enough white man who refuses to respond to my emails

actually the entire jhu admissions teams is not responding to my emails💀

[wintry yew]

[quartz venture]

how do you guys know if someone's your AO?

[neon palm]

I think they put it in the websites, it is region based so you have to check your region's ao

This is what I think I'm not sure

[quartz venture]

oh ok thanks

wait what website

[peak mauve]

for jhu its on your portal

[tranquil peak]

my jhu is latino and responded to my email in 3 hrs i love him

[nocturne plaza]

HELP WHAT

I JUST SAID TO REMIVE IT FROM THE RECORD

[quartz venture]

automated messaging systems go crazy

[cerulean sequoia]

automated response ur good

[wintry yew]

It’s automated

[deft veldt]

uh, i got an email from a jhu group?

Leadership Engagement & Experiential Development

[tranquil peak]

huh

show

this looks like the hmbrella for clubs hmm

[deft veldt]

what is this ??

[tranquil peak]

wtf?

this looks like a glitch

[deft veldt]

i know lol

[tranquil peak]

this is sooo wrid

Accepted to the jhu credit union as a club shirt organizer before even stepping foot on campus💪💪

[deft veldt]

i am so so lost lol, i know i looked at the jhu clubs when doing the essays but idk what this even is

[tranquil peak]

im p sure they got the wtong prtson idk how but u should respond saying its the wrong person so they can resend to the person that needs the grat

[raw tree]

very jhu like

[raw tree]

website and its on the portal

[raw tree]

same even i got it

i was rejected

wht is it even about

[sly acorn]

Can we ask to remove previous essays from record???

[raw tree]

you can ask for it but it depends on their mood if they wanna deal with it

[nocturne plaza]

Don’t do it, I tried and it was a headache

U can only add stuff to ur record, so it just appears as supplementary info

[deft veldt]

What previous essays even? JHU had one supplement

[valid oyster]

OMG I knew i messed up on jhu essay but reading it again makes me hate it more

[median bane]

Never reread essays

That’s ur first mistake

[valid oyster]

Bye bye JHU. Honestly applied cuz they gave me a fee waiver

[cerulean sequoia]

jhu has accepted ppl that consistently referred to it as john hopkins

ur fine

[valid oyster]

Almost made this mistake lol

[queen sky]

i just said hopkins

[valid oyster]

I hated the JHU prompt. I wrote abt diversity in my personal statement so I couldn’t think of anything for their prompt

I thought it would be somewhat like last years

But this years prompt stumped me

[raw tree]

happend dw about it

it was very opened ended

[spark field]

i just said jhu

and hopkins

[wide pulsar]

Lol i made this mistake

[deft veldt]

lol

cmon if u make a mistake like that thats a skill issue

[tranquil peak]

hi

if jhu has financial docs in ur checklist

but hasnt requested on idoc

wbat do u do?

wait?

My financial app is so late bro

i submitted my css yesterday night and they processed it so do i have to wait for idoc to add them to the list

since they just got it

Ts strsses me oht sm

[jade ibex]

Iirc, they’ll send u an email if they want you to submit stuff on idoc

[tranquil peak]

okk

they just added me on idoc and i already had the docs ready from previous apps

is it ok that i submitted before they asked

[delicate jungle]

idoc takes quite a while to process

[deft veldt]

Ahhh got the same email again

Remember the credit union t shirt one from JHU’s student troupe

Groups

[tranquil peak]

helppp

this is so funny

tbh if i got in after those emails id join for fun

[deft veldt]

😭

[deft veldt]

Fr ill make all of their credit union t shirts

For free

Only if JHU lets me in 🤭

[nocturne plaza]

y’all think JHU will be the first T20 to release decisions?

bless the 3/20 date that’s so early in my mind

[cerulean sequoia]

mit lmfao

[restive vine]

caltech too

[spark field]

yes (i applied ed2)

[nocturne plaza]

ig first one for me bc im anti stem 😭

[edgy fiber]

bloke said john 😭

if you said john thats autoreject

[spark field]

if you said john hopkins the AO will send the most murderous undergrad warriors to your house (premed students who missed a dose of caffeine)

happened to my buddy eric

[deft veldt]

Uchicago I think comes out the 10th of march

[hushed flume]

HAHAH FR

let me check that

shit

for my essays I wrote "hopkins"

but for my ED agreement I sent them "John Hopkins University"

is that an issue

[deft veldt]

No

People make errors all the time

[hushed flume]

Hopefully

Should i send them a corrected version of the ED agreement?

[hushed flume]

Safer to resend them with 'johns'

[marble matrix]

if it says received on your applicant portal

u should be fine

[broken belfry]

someone i know got in and they literally wrote "john hopkins" on their essay

granted they are cracked

but i think the aos would just get annoyed if you made too big a deal out of it

[hushed flume]

They did, so i think its fine 😭

[hushed flume]

I see

[timber field]

Does JHU do likely letters?

[queen sky]

only for athletes and urms I believe

[sacred pier]

Holy this means I applied Test Optional?

obviously lol

well I got 1520 so whatever I guess

[dark pilot]

what

[sacred pier]

I think I applied test-optional without knowing

[dark pilot]

you chose don't consider test score?

[raw tree]

urms ?

[raw tree]

EMAIL AND SWITCH

RIGHT FUCKING NOW

[tranquil peak]

under represented minorities

so hispanicnand black people

and indigenous ppl

[spark field]

we asians out here getting our ed2 right after lunar new year

[queen sky]

my sat is way too fucking low I don't dare to do it

[raw tree]

mb mb i read the usernames wrong

i was like why is kid a 1520 goign test optional

[queen sky]

nono you're right

im just butting in to the convo im not the one who sent it out

[sacred pier]

Sent the email

Ty guys

[unreal geode]

is a 33 too low if I have a 4.0 UW GPA & cracked ECs

(most are related to medicine/my major)

I did ED2

[static wave]

jesus bro why TO

[sacred pier]

It was unintentional

[deft veldt]

Nothing is ever too low

Trust me colleges are holistic

And a 33 is amazing who are you listening to that is saying it’s bad

[unreal geode]

ppl on a2c

[deft veldt]

get off of a2c

the discord is a lot nicer

[unique raven]

The Reddit people are so much more annoying than here

[raw tree]

jhu is crapshot when it comes to predicting anything

u never know

[trail panther]

do not worry LMAO that is def high enough

[nocturne plaza]

i don’t think that’s too low, especially if ur local average is low

[sterile compass]

Is JHU CS worth it?

[timber field]

Yes

Reddit is demoralizing

[royal oxide]

+1

[novel crescent]

omg i'm one of these students! lol

but i'm one of the few that went test optional cuz i only took the sat once after yoloing it and my retake got cancelled

[valid oyster]

didnt get it so get more paranoid

[rapid escarp]

it might just be your school that’s getting it?

[tranquil peak]

if its in promotions it doesnt mean anything

i think im what u mean

but if its abt dmp

then maybe

[valid oyster]

no it means you got in start panicking. im kidding, but i wouldnt look to deep into it. it happened with usc not sending me an rd financial aid email so i thought i got in but i got deferred dont look to deep into it it gets u hyped for no reason

[trail panther]

yea it's in that

[trail panther]

okay bye i'm going crazy thank u asdfjkl

[tranquil peak]

yeah i get those too

but im like

99% sure they just het info from collegeboard for those

[valid oyster]

its fine honestly its watever. we get hyped for our dream schools. im honestly so scared for ucs rn tho

[trail panther]

That’s so real hfkska

[raw tree]

yes

they rejected me and i still get those

[wintry yew]

this is a sign you have been 100% accepted to jhu with a full ride and stipend

/j

[trail panther]

womp womp I was being stupid when I sent that

[spark field]

i kinda regret ed2ing here

[unreal geode]

why?

[spark field]

good school but i dont think i fit the culture thats all

but oh well

[unreal geode]

gotcha

[spark field]

intl so need to grasp at chances

thin like straw

elusive like water

[deft veldt]

you can withdraw

or change to rd?

maybe?

[azure hemlock]

Scoir offered an application fee waiver but on the checklist it says unpaid. Is this something that needs to addressed or does it fix itself with the powers that be?

[tranquil peak]

hi ur counselor needs to send verification you qualify for a fee waiver

they shouldve emailed ur counselor

[azure hemlock]

Gotcha

Thank you

[tranquil peak]

ofcc

[raw tree]

int have it bad at JHU unless ur a Chinese who can afford the sticker price

the need awareness of jhu killing alot of people

[valid oyster]

again does this apply for us citizens

cuz ik case western looks at it

[polar needle]

Need blind for us iirc

[raw tree]

i was talking about int

[olive peak]

Did Hopkins Fr Fr end legacy or is it fake

[median bane]

No one knows

[raw tree]

as far as we know

it fr fr ended legacy

also donation numbers dont affect admissions

[trail badger]

Hello

Anyone else ED2?

I’m scared if I’m accepted and get little aid and be screwed

[tranquil peak]

me

regretting it tho

[trail badger]

Haha real

Tbh my friend at JHU speaks very highly about it so I’d be down to go

[raw tree]

Hopkins has a little bit of everything

if ur admited

IF being the key word so dont overthink it just yet

[trail badger]

Yeah I applied bio but I’m considering switching to engineering and their engineering is surprisingly good

[unreal geode]

Me!!

[trail badger]

Good luck!

Anyone wanna see how bad my supplemental essay was 😭

[broken belfry]

i honestly don't think you should ed2 if you have any regrets

it's just going to be obnoxious af to deal with if you get in and decide not to go....

like breaking ed

it reflects badly on your school if you break ed

you could probably still email to change to rd

[tranquil peak]

i dont think so

the lastvday to change was jan 15

[tranquil peak]

thats true

idk

maybe im nust getting cold feet

[tranquil peak]

i dont think id break it

but idk

somwthing feels so off

[tranquil peak]

Idk what to do😂

im fr panicking

[deft veldt]

It doesn’t matter

What is done is done

You guys just breathe it will be fine

You’ll go where you should go

[azure hemlock]

JHU seems like a well rounded school

Wish my kid cracked 1500 to have a legit chance.

[marble matrix]

Isn’t jhu test optional!

[trail badger]

prob not gonna get in anyways

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[azure hemlock]

His gpa is low. So he needs the sat for support.

[broken belfry]

low gpa for jhu is really tough

the average is 3.9

[broken belfry]

i was just saying they should try to email and change to rd, so it doesn't come down to breaking ed or going to a school they don't want to (personally i would try to email but yeah idk)

[marble matrix]

LOL my mindset fr

[marble matrix]

Pretty sure yeah

[valid oyster]

same lol i had a fee waiver so i just applied

my schools valedictorian got in ed with that major

[trail badger]

i did bio

not pre-med tho

I might be cooked

[tranquil peak]

SOMEONE FROM JHU SEARCHED MY LINKEDIN

🔥

[sacred pier]

[tranquil peak]

[tranquil peak]

[rapid escarp]

woah

[tranquil peak]

esp cuz i got to describe my ecs more in detail

[rapid escarp]

yeah I think so

I should add stuff to my linkedin all I put was my school and interest😭

[tranquil peak]

adding stuff to linked in is lowk so satisfying u should

[nocturne plaza]

it makes things sm easier

It’s like a working resume

so u can just look at it for apps and stuff

[deft veldt]

I need LinkedIn premium

😭😭

Do you know if you can quit the free trial any time

And if they’ll bill you any time during the trial

[tranquil peak]

ya i did

i quit it like

a wk ago

and i still have premium

[deft veldt]

bro i got it

lol

def cancelling soon

[trail badger]

like an AO?

[tranquil peak]

i have no idea

[trail badger]

[tranquil peak]

[marble matrix]

same happened to me

:D

[tranquil peak]

aaaaa

[raw tree]

:D

[unique raven]

Is that for ed2?

[raw tree]

naw ed1

[azure hemlock]

That’s hilarious

People on A2C Reddit be saying that AO don’t have time for all that

Obtw dont submit your test scores. Lul

[tranquil peak]

my checklist disappeared

it’s getting too real

[valid oyster]

they want u

[broken belfry]

to be fair it could be someone who goes to school there, not an ao

i'm hoping they don't look at linkedin

because mine is like

my name and my school only.

[raw tree]

i was rejected ed1

[dark pilot]

the jhu person looks too much like my calc bc teacher, same hairline and shirt 😭

[broken belfry]

those aren't actually people's pfps lol

jsut default linkedin images

[dark pilot]

das even crazier

[twilit knot]

frfr

[modest zealot]

whzt does that mean

@tranquil peak

[tranquil peak]

nothing

just that decisions are soon

[modest zealot]

wait when do decisions come out

[tranquil peak]

they remove it for everyone to avoid portal astrology

[modest zealot]

Is this ED btw

Or RD

[tranquil peak]

this wk friday

[tranquil peak]

ed2!

[modest zealot]

What about RD?

[tranquil peak]

rd is marxh 20 i think?

[modest zealot]

Ohh okok

[plush ruin]

but we love portal astrology

[trail badger]

If this is a rejection I’m so fucked

It means I prob have no shot at any of the other T20s

Waitlist means I have a chance tho

[nocturne plaza]

Right that’s what I was thinking

[rapid escarp]

😵‍💫

good luck everyone

[deft veldt]

nah

decisions are independent of the other

[humble ruin]

It is what it is

My motivation is running a all time low rn

[trail badger]

Well yeah but if you get waitlisted than that means you’re almost certainly a qualified applicant

And if they think that then I’ll be way more hopeful with my other schools

[swift magnet]

does jhu accept updates? i can't find a place where i can upload anything

should i just email admissions

or my admissions counselor

[tranquil peak]

my prediction is ill get waitlisted

i have a strong gut feeling ill get waitlisted

[frank glade]

id say email the counselor

[craggy finch]

same

lets hope

[tranquil peak]

did yall get the email

[tranquil peak]

good lu k!!

[unreal geode]

yes!!

[tranquil peak]

IM SO NERVOUS

[unreal geode]

SAME 😭

[keen hornet]

What email

[tranquil peak]

thay results r tmrw ar 3pm est

[unreal geode]

it’s just an email saying decisions for Ed2 release tmrw

[keen hornet]

Oh yeah

[tranquil peak]

for ed2

[trail badger]

did u do ED2 or RD?

[trail badger]

yes

is there gonna be a countdown in #📆-decision-dates ?

If I get rejected it finna be tough

[amber belfry]

real

[trail badger]

Honestly at this point I'm hoping for just a waitlist so I can convince myself I have a chance at all the other schools I applied to

[tranquil peak]

same

[tranquil peak]

def

also i lowk wanna collext decisions

im missing waitlist and rejection

[trail badger]

I wish I was that confident

[tranquil peak]

(my only acceptance is pitt)

[trail badger]

Honestly I already know how rushed my apps were is gonna bite me in the butt

[tranquil peak]

REAL

this is why im not rereading any supp

[trail badger]

I've reread some and 😬

I only wrote a few truly good ones

My JHU one was decent and somewhat unique but idk if it was specific enough to JHU. I kinda just made it a diversity essay about being Latino for brownie points

[tranquil peak]

lol were the same person

jhu was my first version of my diversity essay that i reused soo its not that good

[trail badger]

all my supps were super unrefined as well

like good ideas mid execution

[trail badger]

same

I improved it more for later schools

I feel like I might get one surprise acceptance or waitlist but otherwise I doubt my supps written in a day or two will get me in

[amber belfry]

ig but it would be nice to be done

[tranquil peak]

im ok w not gettign in bc i dont have to turn in anhthing else

[trail badger]

yeah

My apps are done

ED2 is different

[amber belfry]

thats true

[trail badger]

Also ED2 usually isn't your first choice

I would've EDed Columbia if I was ready in time

[tranquil peak]

i ed wellesley and that shitbhurt so bad

[amber belfry]

i did ED Columbia and got rejected 🥲

[trail badger]

I prob shouldn't say that here 😂

I def would've gotten rejected if I EDed

my early CAPS was so bad

[tranquil peak]

SAME

im so glad

wellesley le tme change it for rd

[amber belfry]

tbh

at this point im less worried about where im gonna go but more about the aid
