Johns Hopkins University (JHU) (2024-2025)

[proper gale]

No way I put out a band just for 17 rejections 😭😭😭

[kind sedge]

i dont want to calcualte my total fees

😭

[keen knot]

idk why css is even paid

dumbest shit

[kind sedge]

bc collegeboard is greedy

[marsh lichen]

and why does it cost $14 for one sat score send

like u know good and well that costs them like $0.50

[marsh lichen]

i just need 1 acceptance 😭 i wont even care about the $1000 i had to drop

[keen knot]

800 gets u like

16 right

or how many schools in total @marsh lichen

oh u said 10

for me 800 got me 16 wth

[marsh lichen]

all of my schools were like $80

so $800 + $14 (SAT score) + $160 (CSS)

i know people who spent like $2000 though so

[kind sedge]

thank god most schools are self report

appearntly before covid most schools required the actual score

[keen knot]

some make u send after tho

[marsh lichen]

somebody needs to overthrow college board

[proper gale]

That’s fair

But before like Princeton is just insane

Like why would I lie?!?

[kind sedge]

yea but its only one school

so we take an L

[keen knot]

never read the story of the kid who lied his way into lehigh

[kind sedge]

lol that story was so insane

[keen knot]

ye had he not posted abt it on reddit he would prob have got away with it

[kind sedge]

🤭

he singlehandingly destroyed any trust for intl students

[proper gale]

Weakest Indian student

[marsh lichen]

i just went and read the entire thing 💀

that's actually wild

[kind sedge]

fr

highlight of a2c summer

[proper gale]

Intl student system gaming is widespread bro

Like all need blinds

They will completely and fully lie

And they can because taxation in India/Pakistan/SE Asia 3rd world is iffy at best

“Yeah uh yearly income of $300 and a bale of rice”

Forgets to mention their family owns 30,000 acres of prime land and it all goes to their grandfather

[kind sedge]

Yea no wonder most schools favor full pays

[untold egret]

that just works for need blind

they are cooked for need aware

[kind sedge]

But need blind skools are also really competitive to begin with

So it’s a trade off

[untold egret]

exactly

[kind sedge]

So basically they’re cooked either way

💀

[untold egret]

thats like 1%

of people who apply

not everyone has like 50,000 acres lying around

[smoky yoke]

is there anyone else applying to dmp international relations

[young yew]

me

[smoky yoke]

did you submit your additional essay

[young yew]

yeah i sent it a few days ago

[smoky yoke]

they didn't state any word count or smth and I couldn't find any examples for the essay, is it similar to the why major essays

[young yew]

i think i remember reading somewhere it should be 400-500 words or something

i wrote is as a why major and also why dmp

*it

[smoky yoke]

good luck!

[young yew]

you too!

[queen valve]

wait what additional essay? where is it

[echo light]

applied!

[proper needle]

"why jhu?"

/j

[hushed whale]

does anyone know where we can send supplemental material? im tryna send a research abstract

theres no option in portal

[tawny sequoia]

how long did it get yall to get ur portals? i submitted like a week ago and havent gotten anything from jhu yet

[smoky yoke]

i sent a mail for resume submission, i'll remind you when they return

[smoky yoke]

1-2 days

[icy matrix]

[email protected]

gets added to your file after a few days

[scarlet star]

same I didn't get it either and submitted by the original deadline

[queen valve]

I submitted my application on the 10th and got the portal 12 hours later

[keen knot]

Check ur spam/junk

[golden marlin]

Do you guys think it’s too late if I apply now

[oak stag]

Yes

[trim crater]

Hows

JHU Ams for quant

im heavily considering ED 2

I m not able to makeup my mind fr

[oak stag]

It’s probably alright (thought probably not comparable to MIT or something like that), but if you work hard, you’ll probably get something but I’m not AMS or quant so I don’t really know the detail

[gilded scarab]

does applying/not applying for JHU direct matericulation progrtam have any affect on chances?

do you get acceptd separately?

[oak stag]

I believe that you get admitted separately, kind of like BME in a sense

[kind sedge]

Reminder that css profile and fafsa is due on Wednesday

!!

[marsh lichen]

WAIT RHE FAFSA TOO???

NO I’M COOKED

[kind sedge]

Yea… I think

Fin aid deadline probably includes fafsa

[marsh lichen]

i thought it was just the css noooo

[keen knot]

i mean if u submit the fafsa right now, itll process before the 15th

[last barn]

Yeah

[vague trellis]

ummm hopkins ghosted me 💀 and i still dont have my portal??

[vague trellis]

is IDOC due too

i. only did the css part but didnt finish idoc yet

ummm wait

if I submitted my first part through Coalition but then second part through Common app does it use my coalition portal???

[kind sedge]

CRAP

i should submitt

idoc

[vague trellis]

man the reason i never got a portal login is cuz i oculd access it through coalition this is so 😭

[kind sedge]

oh

rip

i used common

[vague trellis]

i switched to common but ig it still used the first part of coalition

which sucks but nothing i can do

at least its only like 2 schools

[kind sedge]

rip

anyways submitted that stupid css profile

and fafsa

16$ rip

could have gotten a big pizza

[hushed whale]

😄

[kind sedge]

[hushed whale]

[lost glade]

Heyyy
I submitted JHU during the extended deadline stuff. Is it possible that I would be marked as late submission

[lost glade]

You can get an extra large pizza us equivalent of $5 in my country

[kind sedge]

Ugh lucky

I miss living in Korea

Food was so cheap

No delivery fees

[lost glade]

I think US generally pays more but costs more

At the end it really cancels out but cheating the system would be going for vacations and stuff

[kind sedge]

yea i hate it so much

inflation sucks balls

[lost glade]

Lol

Frr

[hushed whale]

Applications get marked as late submission?

[lost glade]

I'm not sure. Wild guess
Do they?

[hushed whale]

I haven’t heard abt that

[lost glade]

Oh aiit

[hushed whale]

For JHU’s financial aid stuff that’s due tmrw, do we have to do anything else after css/fafsa?

I heard for some schools that don’t use IDOC they require you submit forms in their portal. Does jhu do this

[sturdy stone]

prolly not, depends on circumstance tho

i only used idoc

[keen knot]

its idoc

[hushed whale]

Oh jhu uses idoc?

[keen knot]

yes

it doesnt show up immediately tho

[kind sedge]

Does jhu send the idoc request

[keen knot]

took mines like a week, but just submit idoc just in case

[hushed whale]

Deadline for financial aid jhu is tmrw

[keen knot]

yes as in JHU did not pop up instantly

[hushed whale]

Do I get impacted if I submit idoc after Jan 15

[keen knot]

no clue

[hushed whale]

Well it shouldn’t impact my admissions at least

[keen knot]

yeah

[hushed whale]

submitting idoc after deadline won’t make my extended deadline submission look better

😹

11:58pm too

[sturdy stone]

you're fine, i submitted my app like 10 min before too

[untold egret]

do we have to send idoc to every school which accepts idoc?

[keen knot]

https://profile.collegeboard.org/profile/ppi/participatinginstitutions.aspx

[untold egret]

oh fuck

are u intl student?

[keen knot]

no

[lost glade]

Link aint working
Can you screenshot

[keen knot]

google CSS profile 2025-26 Participating Institutions and Programs

its a giant list of schools, i cant get it in a single screenshot

[lost glade]

same thing

@keen knot

[tawny sequoia]

i havent gotten mine either

two weeks to get a portal login is diabolical

[lost glade]

I used scoir so I got a second after applying

[tawny sequoia]

jhu's playing games with me istg

[tawny sequoia]

still havent gotten my email but i pressed "forgot password" and it let me reset my own password and log into my portal

[smoky yoke]

i think sending idoc after the deadline should be fine

but css probably not

[kind sedge]

Yea

[vague trellis]

they sent me it w my fin aid deadline reminder LOL

[timber solar]

guys Johns Hopkins still hasn't showed up on my IDOC but definitely submitted CSS am I cooked

[keen knot]

#1268257074836406375 message

Just make sure you have the documents on idoc so that when it does show up, it automatically sends

[timber solar]

How do I "just submit IDOC just in case"?

Ohok

Thank you so much

Yeah I have the documents there already

[keen knot]

You should be good to go

[timber solar]

Do you know if JHU has other school-specific forms?

[keen knot]

I’m not gonna accidentally mislead you, so I’m not sure

It could differ from what I had to do

[timber solar]

okok

Welp not much I can do

[short umbra]

I submitted my non custodial parent waiver form on IDOC, I honestly couldn't find info on where to submit it for jhu, should I have done it on the portal as well?

[crimson zinc]

my fasfa processed but JHU still hasn’t gotten it yet

will i be penalized for this

😭

[short umbra]

What asterisk are they talking about?

In the financial aid checklist if I had more documents awaiting?

[hushed whale]

I think you just need css submission

IDOC can be later

[hushed whale]

so idoc must be with it..?

[keen knot]

yes

idoc is verification of the figures you put in css

[short umbra]

Is it normal that they haven't shown up on IDOC for me yet?

[keen knot]

#1268257074836406375 message

[short umbra]

I've already submitted all my wage statements since EA

Now their website says that my non custodial css hasn't been submitted, but on IDOC I sent a waiver

[short umbra]

Alright thanks

[short umbra]

Is that enough?

[keen knot]

it takes a while for documents, after being submit, to arrive at the school. So just keep your eye out on the portal

[short umbra]

They'll only probably see it when they review my application I'm guessing

So that might be for another month

Idk I might email them today

Just to confirm

[keen knot]

emailing them wont hurt, I would recommend it ngl to relieve stress

[short umbra]

Yea

Alright thanks

[wooden pivot]

ummm so i sent in my fafsa jn but itll take 1-3 days to process am i cooked

[tawny zenith]

Fuck I need to submit my COF sos

I completely forgot about it holy hell

[rigid gale]

my documents last yr took like a month when i applied for aid for this school year so it takes a bit

[wooden pivot]

I mean like I’m basically turning them in late how much does this matter

[rigid gale]

not sure for prospective students but im also turning mine in late this year

[sturdy stone]

nah ur good

[gilded scarab]

does direct matriculation program have separate admissions commitee

i.e can you get accepted into JHU but not the direct m atriculation

[mystic thunder]

Good question

[mystic thunder]

I’m pretty sure yeah

[rigid gale]

im pretty sure since thats how it works for bme majors for example

[lunar aurora]

:0

how late can i submit the financial app for jhu

ik they say u can submit it after the deadline

[kind sedge]

Still no idoc request

But fin aid portal says I’m finished

[rigid gale]

guys be patient i would only start to worry if its a couple weeks before decisions come out and they still dont have info

they are pretty understanding since some applications takes longer than other

[bold solstice]

maim mia

[untold egret]

same

idk if i have to submit before hand or not

;-;

[lost glade]

you can

I mean, I had skls that requested b4

so when a new skl requested, it kinda auto sent later on

[untold egret]

i see

[bold solstice]

scott jopkins

https://youtu.be/r1yqBt-PkT4?si=pv3KQZ1XJSFrhLEi

[kind sedge]

Um

Still no idoc request

It says fafsa and css completed on my portal tho

[last barn]

Same

[rigid gale]

went back to my email and i didnt get an idoc request until mid february, dont worry itll come

[untold egret]

will they request it?

[kind sedge]

tysm for this info queen

saved us alot of stress 😌

[rigid gale]

yeah i got an email from college board saying that schools requested it

[untold egret]

did any other unis request that

[pure egret]

Does anyone know the difference between the acceptance rates for ED and RD

For Hopkins

[rigid gale]

i dont remember it was a couple yrs ago but i think i had a couple that requested it

[untold egret]

oh okay thats nice

[rigid gale]

im not sure if they released info for class of 2028 but i know they did for class of 2027 if you want an actual number

i do think its harder for rd tho (mainly because when i tell ppl i got in rd they are like woahh) but its harder competition ed imo

[untold egret]

many ivy rejects ed to jhu right

[rigid gale]

yeah for ed2 since they dont want to take the chance of being put in the regular pool

i almost ed2 but i didnt like jhu enough to do it 💀

but it worked out in the end cuz i got a fuck ton of aid and this semester im literally getting money back from jhu to be here 🕺

[untold egret]

ayyy W

i hope i get the same too

[loud needle]

does hopkins do interviews?

[oak stag]

No

[rigid gale]

i had to pay first yr, literally pennies compared to some of my friends but for some reason my aid went up not comaplaining tho

[untold egret]

how

[rigid gale]

i honestly dont know if i remember right my parent income went up slightly i did lower my meal plan which gave me more in my refund

[loud needle]

is the food there good

[rigid gale]

tbh not really...

im a picky eater so i dont enjoy the food options

[untold egret]

i see

[pure egret]

Good aid in exchange for bad food 😭🫠

[keen knot]

aint no way the food that bad ngl

I had a free trial when I visited earlier this school year

[untold egret]

ill take it any day

😭

[rigid gale]

so the dining hall food is better the days that students are visiting

when it was admitted students day last year we went to the dining hall since it was better than normal

[rigid gale]

i wouldnt say bad its just not the best... i had alot of days eating fries or dry chicken with my salad

[pure egret]

Trueee

[keen knot]

they had meals prepared for us

i lowk forgot exactly what i had

but this was senior visit day

[rigid gale]

thats wayyyy better than

students arent even allowed to touch that food my friend sneaked in and was able to enjoy it

[keen knot]

😭 holy shit

[pure egret]

I mean I’m not picky at all so i probably wouldn’t care if the food wasn’t that good, but I got rejected LOL 🫠😂

[keen knot]

well damn..

at the end of the day theres always doordash ig

[rigid gale]

they got u 😭

[rigid gale]

yeah and for me at least its cheaper nyc so its a plus

sophomore dorms is where its at

i have 50 meals a semester and i think i used 30 last semester

got a full kitchen and everything

[keen knot]

isnt there a plan to like pay as u go or smth

[rigid gale]

no freshman and sophomore yr you need to be on some sort of meal
plan

there is a pay as u go as a sophomore with dining dollars

[rigid gale]

definitely

[keen knot]

god bless financial aid 🙏

[lost glade]

do they replenish your meal swipes. like do you have 70 now?

[mystic thunder]

Can we get friend legacy bruh

[vapid pivot]

i withdrew my jhu application but they keep nagging me for my IDOC?

[untold egret]

the request came out?? wtf

[vapid pivot]

when i sign in through the portal it says that "[the portal] is reserved for only current year RD applicants"

[untold egret]

i just got nu ;-;

[vapid pivot]

well its not idoc

its this ICOF

[untold egret]

whats that

[vapid pivot]

international student certification of finances

[untold egret]

ohhh

yeah we have to fill it out in portal itself

[vapid pivot]

yeah but i withdrew 💀

[untold egret]

ignore it ig

[rigid gale]

nah restarted to 50 dining dollars roll over semester by semester but not year by year

[astral pawn]

do i still have a decent week or so, my parents just had to figure some stuff out and it should be filed properly by next week

[vague trellis]

am i supposed to submit via

idoc??

because I don't see anywhere on idoc asking for this

its not even considered one of the institutions requesting documents for me

[kind sedge]

where is my idoc 🧍‍♂️

[smoky yoke]

is receiving an idoc a great sign for jhu

ed2

[last barn]

Bro

Ain’t no way bro

Bro

Idoc is to fill fin aid documents

Doesn’t meant shit bro

[smoky yoke]

[barren aspen]

Yes they do

[fickle stump]

the john hopkin

[mystic thunder]

Johnsyyy please accept

[ionic horizon]

Does jhu normally give good aid because my npc looks unrealistically good psure i filled it out the same

[pure egret]

Yes

I’ve heard great things about JHU air

*aid

A senior from my school last year got into JHU and they gave her more aid than our in state school

[ionic horizon]

I realized I accidentally added an extra dependent 😂 estimate went up 10k

[kind sedge]

Not for intls tho I assume?

Since they’re need aware

[rigid gale]

i got really good aid my freshman year ended up paying less than my state school and then it got better sophmore year i think they are pretty generous

[azure jay]

pretty sure intls get the same amount of "demonstrated" aid as if a US applicant

its just needing aid as an intl counts against you since need aware

[azure jay]

y'all my checkist is gone

i applied ED2

is this same for everyone else??

[fierce sundial]

yep same for me

also applied ED2

[fringe dragon]

i applied rd and mine is still there

[azure jay]

Probably ED2 apps are ready from the Uni end

[smoky yoke]

mine too but financial aid checklist is still there

[azure jay]

yeah i have fin aid too

[past needle]

if u qual for the blue jay thing ur pretty much set

[ionic horizon]

what blue jay thing?

[past needle]

i forgot what it was called idk i seen it on my net price calculator

mb

[thorn tulip]

For anyone that submitted their midyear report, is it shown on your application checklist? Mine still says awaiting

[upbeat grail]

my submission is reflected on the checklist

[keen knot]

damn just realized hopkins ed2 decisions are tmrw

goodluck everyone

[sick parcel]

gl tmr everyone~

[mystic thunder]

They should just accept me early even though I’m not ED2 applicant and give me a non binding acceptance with perfect financial aid

[proven radish]

yup

my counselor submitted yesterday

they get sent in batches overnight iirc

and today it shows recived

[vernal dock]

Bye not ed2 coming on Valentine’s Day

[azure jay]

[fickle stump]

if anyone from my school gets in imma crash out

[azure jay]

bro is anyone else not nervous

[rigid gale]

good luck guys

[azure jay]

🙏

[rigid gale]

(save urself while u can)

jk jk

[mystic thunder]

Actually Hopkins why haven’t YOU interviewed me

[upbeat grail]

they have interviews?

since when?

[mystic thunder]

Don’t all unis have them

[upbeat grail]

no????

most t20s do not

[mystic thunder]

Oh

[rigid gale]

i didnt get an interview

[kind sedge]

Barely any schools have them

[fossil dove]

Gllll

[urban dock]

I applied RD, but good luck to ED2 kids!!

[fossil dove]

DID YALL GET IN!

[golden belfry]

DID YOU?

i got waitlisted 😰

[fossil dove]

nah I did rd

ohhh not bad lol

[golden belfry]

idk

it's v mid

[fossil dove]

atleast not a rejection 🙏

[golden belfry]

yea yea

[smoky yoke]

I got waitlisted too

[keen knot]

:((

[untold egret]

😔

its okay chat

yall did ur best

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/1ipjgyx/jhu_edii_is_out/

did everyone get rejected?!? wtf

[mystic thunder]

It’s cause they’re waiting to accept me in RD

They dont want to change it

Anyway I’m sorry yall

If it’s any consolation I’m getting rejected RD

[untold egret]

If I get accepted into rd

I 99% agree that their admission Committee is flawed

[vernal dock]

Yall run from JHU

It’s not all that

Run while you can

[mystic thunder]

Samesies

[barren aspen]

Rejected 💀

[vernal dock]

Someone pew pew in front of subway that there was police activity on campus yesterday

[keen knot]

Yeah Baltimore crime is not it

[burnt spade]

Did anyone get in ed2?

[rigid gale]

oh damn u saw it?

i was in class and and my roommate in bradford to not leave

[azure jay]

Rejecjted lol

banking on the need blinds atp

[vague nimbus]

wait are application results out yet?

why havent i seen mine

[mystic thunder]

Your role says HS sophomore

[pure egret]

Same but for ED1 😭

I got deferred for my ED2 school now

Gonna kms atp

[upbeat grail]

which skool?

[pure egret]

BU

[smoky yoke]

Deferred from pton rea and waitlisted from jhu ed2😭😭

[mystic thunder]

I mean generally, that means you’re competitive at least! You’ll get in somewhere else I’m almost positive

[smoky yoke]

Well jhu already accepted someone from my school in ed1 so they probably didn't want to give a second full-ride acceptance to the same school

So I think it's a positive sign too

[mystic thunder]

Fr fr

[smoky yoke]

But im still stressed about regulars

[mystic thunder]

Like honestly you’re probably pretty cracked if you got the results you did

[smoky yoke]

Im an int also seeking full ride so its pretty tough anyways

[mystic thunder]

As a reminder, deferrals are pretty much saying you’re competitive, you’re just not one of the “targets” they have for something like an athlete or diversity target

[mystic thunder]

I’m not really familiar with the intl process

But in general you should be proud of the results you have so far

[smoky yoke]

It's actually the same but lower acceptance rates in general especially if you seek aid

Need aware schools tend to give those aids to domestics

[mystic thunder]

Got it

[keen knot]

apparently they only admitted 242 ed2

[mystic thunder]

Is that a lot or a little

[keen knot]

they admitted 500 smth ed1

so its less than half of that

551 ed1

[mystic thunder]

I mean

I feel like that makes sense?

I have no context for how large these numbers are

But generally I would think half in ED2 vs ED1 makes sense

Cause they would’ve scooped up all the real nice cases ED1

And their opponents would’ve scooped up the others

[keen knot]

yeah

[smoky yoke]

from how many applications

[keen knot]

4k

[smoky yoke]

did they reveal waitlist numbers

[keen knot]

🤷‍♂️

they only show applications and admitted applicant numbers

the rest is a mix of whatever else there is

[kind sedge]

So how many spots are left for rd

[keen knot]

well over 1k

jhu yield is like 56%

so theyre gonna accept a lottt

[kind sedge]

Perfect

[mystic thunder]

How high is that relative to other similar schools

[urban dock]

Johns Hopkins University (JHU) is renowned for its selective admissions process. For the Class of 2028, JHU received 45,134 applications and admitted 2,558 students, resulting in an acceptance rate of 5.67%. Of those admitted, 1,288 enrolled, yielding a matriculation rate of approximately 50.35%.
IVYWISE.COM

When comparing JHU's yield rate to institutions with similar acceptance rates, several observations emerge:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT): Acceptance rate of 4.55% with a yield rate of 85.83%.
IVYWISE.COM

Harvard University: Acceptance rate of 3.65% and a yield rate of 83.60%.
IVYWISE.COM

Stanford University: Acceptance rate of 3.61% with a yield rate of 81.91%.
IVYWISE.COM

Columbia University: Acceptance rate of 3.86% and a yield rate of 64.42%.
IVYWISE.COM

University of Chicago: Acceptance rate of 5.0% with a yield rate of 83%.
INGENIUSPREP.COM

In this context, JHU's yield rate of approximately 50.35% is lower than that of peer institutions with comparable acceptance rates. This disparity may be attributed to various factors, including institutional reputation, financial aid offerings, location, and specific program strengths, which influence admitted students' decisions to enroll.

(chatgpt)

[kind sedge]

Disregard uchicago yield it’s artificial bc they only accept thru ed

[fickle stump]

jhu why didn't you defer me

[kind sedge]

Ed2 reject?

[fickle stump]

ed1 reject

[kind sedge]

Rip

[fickle stump]

my salt knows no bounds

[crimson zinc]

yes

[pearl frigate]

alr thanks

also did you perchance leave a commment under that deferred students reel😵‍💫

[crimson zinc]

ermmmm

maybe

[ionic horizon]

Do I have to send an official score report I looked on my application and I think I forgot to self report

There’s nothing in the portal that shows if they received it not sure what to do

[copper leaf]

when I submitted my app, it didn't show my sat scores on the portal, but I was sure I reported them. might be the same thing for you

[keen knot]

it bugs out sometimes

but ye still contact them just in case

[untold egret]

its fine if i dont submit that DMP thing right?

i thought it was optional and lost interest in it so left it there

or do i have to email jhu abt it

[kind sedge]

Did u indicate that you wanted to do it?

[urban dock]

if you did indicate an interest and are no longer interested, let them know on the portal so they dont expect it

but it is a great program, and i would apply for it

especially if you are low income, given that you get to do an entire great masters on undergrad need based fin aid

something that you wont see in the real world that often

[untold egret]

im wayy past the deadline so it doesnt matter now i guess

[untold egret]

at first i thought of applying for it since my common app was based on geopolitics

but then some exams came in and i didnt have time to write a proper essay

[untold egret]

yeahhh but im cs tho so idt itll help that much

[kind sedge]

I totally get that

That’s why I didn’t apply for the public health masters program

Was too lazy

[fluid crest]

did anyone get idoc req from jhu?

[ionic hollow]

idoc?

[untold egret]

nope

[mystic thunder]

Hey yo bopkins

You should consider accepting me

[stuck dome]

but now i couldnt care less abt it

[proper gale]

Wait guys I had a capitalization inconsistency in my essay

For a cultural term I first did “x” italicized then I did “X” not italicized and then “X” italicized

So they won’t reject cuz of it

Ok

Yay

Bc I was honestly very proud of the content in that essay

Ok yay

[sour badger]

Alright

atheism in my body leaving when i see application update ahh

[untold egret]

4 more days

😭

idk why i am stressed out also

my jhu supps were bad

[proper gale]

so true

[winter cove]

friday!!

[astral pawn]

i thought there was only one supp

[restive brook]

i think there's more if u appply for thier special programs

[urban dock]

I did DMP in IR

[untold egret]

yeah only one supp

but i did DMR in IR asw

but i didnt work much on it

did it for formality ig

[urban dock]

many ppl are likely to do that

i took it a bit more seriously

cause its a literal cheat code

a great masters program with undergrad financial aid

i dont think there are any other opportunities to do an MA with needbased finaid

[untold egret]

inititally i thought of impressing the DMP people

but then realized that DMP and actual undergrad admissions is completely different

so eh

[urban dock]

they are seperate

[untold egret]

yeah

although my entire common app essay was kinda based on IR

im cs major btw

so like idk

[urban dock]

who knows

we will know soon

[untold egret]

yeah

[native sequoia]

Pls accept me

[restive brook]

[restive brook]

u were literally just in the harvard chat choose one to simp over

[untold egret]

intl relations

[restive brook]

why JHU

why not georgetown

[untold egret]

jhu has nice research

georgetown is well business stuff

[restive brook]

[untold egret]

[sour badger]

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

[untold egret]

kpop at jhu? 😭

[wise blaze]

hop hop hop uni

[bronze spruce]

Portal changed

[mystic thunder]

I need to stop pretending I have any shot of getting in shouldn’t have even applied bruh

[proper gale]

dont say that man you got this!!

[loud needle]

anyones checklist removed

[winter cove]

everyone’s

[restive brook]

so real

[rigid gale]

i said that too and got in

i remember on rd day i was leaving for spring break and i just checked the portal for shits and giggles and i got accepted 😭

with a fuck ton of aid too

[mystic thunder]

Ok did you have a good reason to think that tho

Like is there a big red flag in ur app

[restive brook]

see the thing is

ur app is very good

ours are very bad

[untold egret]

worst possible year that too

😭

[rigid gale]

i wouldnt say like red flag but i didnt have anything like crazy

[rigid gale]

nah honestly i wouldnt say so 😭😭

and thats not in a way like oh my app is mid and then i got a 1550 sat like jhu was the only great school i got into

[mystic thunder]

Well, I have red flags

Hence I am justified in my belief

[modest silo]

stats?

[rigid gale]

sure lemme remember its been a minute 💀

test optional, i think 3.9 uw gpa, 3 aps (all my school offered), did all the clubs my school offered (student gov, prom, yearbook, student ambassador), no leadership or ranking cuz my school didnt believe in it

i put that i helped my family with responsibilities which they noted when i saw my application review

im ee but my school didnt have anything related to it (its really small) and i switched to that major right before applications so i had nothing really

which they also noted but they did say my supplemental essay showed interest in ee which was good

[hushed whale]

did you do any outside school stuff? besides family

[proven radish]

how is the engineering dept at JHU?

im also in EE/CE as well

[keen knot]

did seeing ur application review exacerbate your imposter syndrome 😭

i want to do that, but I dont think itll be good for my mental health (unless its not as bad as I think it is)

[rigid gale]

no i didnt tbh 💀 so when i have classmates that did crazy things in hs i kinda have to catch up

and since i didnt have to really apply myself or didnt have extra things to do in hs it took me longer to adapt than my classmates whos been doing it for yrs

[rigid gale]

okay as much as ill promote jhu... i think theres alot to be desired

i think they changed the program to be better recently

[scarlet cedar]

gs

[rigid gale]

i do think the professors are just not as passionate anymore since they are mostly tenured so quality teaching isnt the best, i think its more community based than anything

any assignment in the department you are 100% working together since the instructions are not clear and sometimes the tas dont even know what to do

[shut kestrel]

you think i can get into JHU for classics + history?

[rigid gale]

i think i have a friend that's history idr but people do get into the humanities

i do have a friend thats a film major which is also cool

[shut kestrel]

let me in

[shut kestrel]

i think i did history, classics + film

[rigid gale]

so the one thing about jhu i like is that ur not locked into the major so unless ur in bme you are just admitted to the school itself

and you take ur own path

like nowhere in ur admission essay unless ur bme again, would mention the program u signed up for

[shut kestrel]

bro

my supplemental essay is SO BAD

ITS SOOOO BADDDD

IM LITERALLY CRINGING

it doesnt even make sense

my common app is good

[rigid gale]

i cringed reading mine the other day 💀💀💀

[shut kestrel]

wait

let me dm mine

its so bad

will probs get me rejected

[rigid gale]

sure go for it lol

i had a friend where someone from their hs wanted them to read it and it was genuinely bad

[untold egret]

can i dm mine as well

[rigid gale]

idk if she changed it but she got in ed2

[untold egret]

also is asking for aid = death sentence

[rigid gale]

nope

i think if ur international maybe

[untold egret]

yep

[rigid gale]

not sure cuz im domestic

[untold egret]

icic

time to find out in 3 days ig

[rigid gale]

but all my international friends are rich so 💀

[untold egret]

cooked then

[shut kestrel]

also

full aid hopkins is good right

heard no funding

[rigid gale]

i thought i replied lol go for it

[untold egret]

oh okay

[rigid gale]

so the funding cutting isn't affecting aid as far as i know as of rn

[untold egret]

there was funding cut for jhu asw?

oh boy

[rigid gale]

i think they are cutting jobs sadly because of it

yeah 800 mil 💀💀💀

[untold egret]

💀

[rigid gale]

daddy bloomberg can give more

[shut kestrel]

i dmed u

is my essya cooked

[rigid gale]

checking now

[glass geode]

Just logged into my portal and saw that they wanted my signed tax returns. I'm an international student in a country that doesn't tax.
There was no follow up email on this or anything, just an X. Is there an explanation for why this was requested and am I probably rejected since the office didn't follow up with me?

[ionic hollow]

did u

sign up for financial aid

[smoky yoke]

I got the same thing for ed2 and informed them about the situation they said okay fine ur good

I got waitlisted

[restive brook]

what are your ecs

i bet you have shadowing, reserach and internshipos

good things

[proper gale]

guys im freaking out

yall i reread my JHU essays and i used an "&" instead of "and" in one of my sentences.. I said something along the lines: "This led me to compose a paper on the various theories regarding the decline & governance of the Satavahana Empire.

i also did a capitlization inconcistency for something esle

i really like the content in the essay but like this is rly irking me

[wet swan]

I’m sure you’re fine they’re not expecting PhD level vocabulary. grammar and simple mistakes they probs overlook cuz we’re human

[urban dock]

i bet you anything that in the very few minutes they have to read ur file they prob dont focus on each word

they prob skim the essay

so if u made ur point clearly u have nothing to worry about

best of luck!

[proper gale]

Okkk

I’ve shown it to a bunch of ppl and no one ever noticed it the error while proofreading so I guess that means it’s probably chill

[rigid gale]

nope none of those 💀

[restive brook]

you must be from wyoming

or extremely downplaying

[winter cove]

friday!!

[brave bluff]

AH

[restive brook]

don't AH without me

AH

[brave bluff]

AHHH

[restive brook]

AHHHH

honestly i'm excited

am i delusional to think i have a better shot at harvard than jhu

[brave bluff]

fr

[pure egret]

Nah

[rigid gale]

nyc 🕺

[rigid gale]

this is everything

[modest silo]

i got similar things

also applied for ee

🙏🙏

im not sure if theyre too lenient on TO anymore

[restive brook]

idk what to say

can you look at ur admissions file

[blazing geode]

Anyone know how well results are for students without any research considering that JHU is heavily research based

[restive brook]

id like to ask this quesiton as well

but at the same time let's stop dooming all

[blazing geode]

Yeh lol I'm sure there is prbly a disadvantage just curious how great it would be

[restive brook]

i'm guessing very but at teh same time if 90% of feasible applications have research me an u might just stand out

[blazing geode]

That's one way to look at it 😆

[proper gale]

I didn’t do researched

But I’m also applying to social sciences

Do they expect research for Humanities/SocSi?

[winter cove]

High school research is fake it doesnt actually help that much in applications

u dont need to do research to get into school

esp if its BS high school research where you are holding a test tube and putting it on ur apps

[crimson zinc]

😭😭

it depends

[crimson zinc]

this one is rlly true tho

[winter cove]

i guarantee you there are barely any high schoolers doing actual substantial research

there are some yes. but very few

[crimson zinc]

i’m helping research correlations for someone’s phd dissertation

it has to count right….

😔😔

[winter cove]

a little

[crimson zinc]

my github hours need to count pls

[proper gale]

For humanities do they expect research

[winter cove]

i dont think they help as much as u think they do

[winter cove]

no school is expecting research

[crimson zinc]

wait no yeah i agree w u there

[winter cove]

they are expecting people who have a positive impact in their communities

[crimson zinc]

it shouldn’t be a big difference but i think it helps them see i’m actually interested in my field

[winter cove]

yes!!! shows an interest

[crimson zinc]

that’s my big thing

[winter cove]

at least its not as fake as the people who simply go in labs and watch the researcher do research

what major did u apply as?

[crimson zinc]

computer enginnering

[winter cove]

also why u tryna go to jhu for humanities lol

[winter cove]

oooo

i applied ce for a lot of schools but i did applied math & stats for JHU

[crimson zinc]

stop i hate those kids sm 😭😭

[winter cove]

my ideal major tbh

[topaz scarab]

applying bio for jhu i’m so cooked

[winter cove]

everyone is cooked

[crimson zinc]

they saw me present at a museum & started saying they’re doing the same thing as me anyway (he comes in for an hour a week to sit and watch—basically does lit reviews)

[crimson zinc]

OH I DID THAT FOR UMD

as an alternative

[winter cove]

my problem with most applied math majors is that they dont have enough data science involved. apart from like ahrvard where you can do a data science concentration in applied math... but jhu has stats as a part of the data science major which is what drew me to it

[crimson zinc]

bc i rlly wanna do data science & stats

[winter cove]

lol i did CE for jhu

[crimson zinc]

stop we had the same idea

[winter cove]

same!!! i applied to yale as stats & data science major but i dont think i will do it

i think i am going to do eecs with minor in data science

[crimson zinc]

i have a friend who does biochem enginnering at yale

[winter cove]

hopefully i can use the data science edge in cs to study some machine learning

[winter cove]

ooo dope

i love biochem/biomed eng but i hate bio which is why im not doing it lol

but comp bio/data science in healthcare seems dopeee

[crimson zinc]

wait omg good luck!! we touched on neural networks w my professor & i wanted to ball my eyes oit

[crimson zinc]

WAIT YES LOL

[winter cove]

im literally doing a capstone project on neural networks rn LMFAO

[proper gale]

Not like humanities like International Relations

It is v good for IR

[crimson zinc]

i built a posture detector w arduino and i got hooked so bad for healthcare enginnering

bc of the research i did w current solutions

[winter cove]

wait ur so accomplished in actually doing stuff LMFAO

i havent really engaged in like doing research/acc building stuff the work ur doing seems so cool!!!

[crimson zinc]

omg gl… i actually got so much migraines from reading his past lectures

😔😔

[winter cove]

praying u get into jhu and your research extends to college ❤️

[crimson zinc]

AWE THANK U

I HOPE TO SEE U THERE OR SOKEWHERE COOLER—U RLLY GOT THIS PLANNED OUT

[winter cove]

i took machine learning last year & i took cognitive psychology this year so we did a lot of neural networks

[true perch]

positive vibes type of evening

[crimson zinc]
