Johns Hopkins University (JHU) (2025-2026)

[summer patrol]

real shit, loved my essay too

[pale vortex]

Fr 😢

[karmic kayak]

me too my essay was so cute

It was about kittens but ig they don’t fw kittens

[pale vortex]

Yes bro I genuinely put my voice into it

I liked it

[pale vortex]

Jhu kitten hater confirmed😠

[karmic kayak]

same but its ok chat

[karmic kayak]

fr

[summer patrol]

Same. Shit hurts 🥹

I worry its a sign for the next schools

[pale vortex]

Ye bru

Im scared lwk

[summer patrol]

same, im completely petrified i somehow fucked up.

[oblique anvil]

The rest of my apps to t20s 💀💀💀

[sinful garden]

.08% is CRAZYYY

[sinful garden]

Nah

[broken elk]

damn isef did NOT help me

[pale vortex]

Zamn

[broken elk]

im lowkey feeling a waitlist every school this is scary

[summer patrol]

at that point why even have a waitlist bro

[broken elk]

in 2024 it was like 1.8% tho

[cunning roost]

so we aint gonna talk about the 0%

lmfao

[sinful garden]

0% is like

Normal sometimes tho

Esp if it's high yield

[cunning roost]

did u get harvard rea?

[sinful garden]

Ya

[cunning roost]

dubs

[plain gorge]

ivy day will pull through for me right...

[sinful garden]

Yes

[forest kelp]

@sinful garden hop off the jhu thread bro

u've been here for like 2 hours

[summer patrol]

Lets hope bro

[sinful garden]

It hasnt even been an hour since the drop son

[livid token]

Good luck!

[forest kelp]

bro is yearning for the speaker

[sinful garden]

LMFWK

Bro I do wish I applied

But I was far too lazzy

[summer patrol]

not gonna lie everythings been pointing to bad signs but maybe it means things will turn around

[plain gorge]

i feel like you were chronically online 5 years ago too

[sinful garden]

No

I was in the lab

Locked in

[plain gorge]

lmfao right right i forgot

[cunning roost]

i wish i had the speaker

[sinful garden]

I'm js bored rn cause I'm on spring break

And I have lke 0 results this week

[cunning roost]

thats wild

i have 12 i think

[sinful garden]

Everything comes out next week for me

Basically everything

Minus duke I thinj

[cunning roost]

ivy dayyy

[livid token]

Yeah my latest will probably be Rice

Which comes out 25th I think

[pastel osprey]

[sinful garden]

Yeah ivy day stanny bu rice

[cunning roost]

BU so goated

[plain gorge]

25th and 26th hell

[sinful garden]

True

[sinful garden]

Yeaa

Oh yeah I have Pomona this week

I forgot abt that tho

[cunning roost]

ut oos?

[broken elk]

when is stanny rd? 27th right

[sinful garden]

Yea I think so

[livid token]

Yea

[plain gorge]

in state but they fucked up my app and counted me as oos and i had to fight with them to change it it was a huge fiasco

[sudden galleon]

It’s out

?

[broken elk]

dude someone in my school alr got a stanny likely are my chances cooked

[sinful garden]

Been an hour soj

Son

[sinful garden]

No

[sudden galleon]

An hour since what

Since it came out?

[cunning roost]

oh damn, i got in intl

[sinful garden]

Since it dropped

JHU

[broken elk]

dude idk what ELSE these collegs want

[plain gorge]

niceeeee

[modern sorrel]

Is waitlist doom

[sinful garden]

Ngl I was hoping for like Yale or Stanny likely but I got jack

[broken elk]

essentially a 1. something % acceptance off of it

[livid token]

Dang you applied to a lot

I just I have
Stanford, Princeton, and Rice left(applied 9 total)

[broken elk]

thats if we're lucky

[modern sorrel]

Soft rejection

Who wanted to go to Baltimore anyway

[cunning roost]

indeeeeed

[broken elk]

yup

[strong crater]

haha i heard about this

[sinful garden]

I also have those schools left

[plain gorge]

omggg good luck...yeah i'm least obvious shotgunner i didn't even bother doing the brown and washu vieos cuz i got sick...

[plain gorge]

it was so dumb an admissions officer told me on the phone with a straight face "being in-state versus out of state has no effect on our review, all applicants are reviewed the same way" ha

[sinful garden]

Brown vid sounded hella annoying

[plain gorge]

i did half of it and then gave up

[cunning roost]

holy mis information

[plain gorge]

mine was cringe af anyway

[livid token]

Best of luck

Only really looking forward to Stanford and Princeton tbh

Don’t really care about Rice since I will probably pick UT over it anyway

[plain gorge]

they even through in intls in there

[sinful garden]

Fair enough

Good luck to u too

[cunning roost]

bro intls have like a 9% ar

less for comp majors

[summer patrol]

best of luck for princeton, i'm also waiting on them :-]

[rough garnet]

hey guys if i applied cheme how do i do premed?

[sinful garden]

Lwk I'm kinda looking forward fo Princeton because I had weird portal stuff but it's lwk js astro atp

[rough garnet]

not sure if i applied premed on my commonapp

[cunning roost]

DID U GET IN?

[plain gorge]

cuz i was like "i thought under state law, 90% of first-year students must be in-state residents" and they were like "that has no effect on our review and your chances are no different being classified as oos at this stage" like WHAT

[rough garnet]

YES

SOMEHOW

WITH EXCELLENT AID

[cunning roost]

OMG COGNRATS GIRL

[rough garnet]

THANK YOU ILY

[cunning roost]

SO JHU>GT?

[plain gorge]

anywhere other than getting off the mit waitlist that youd choose over harvard?

[rough garnet]

BRO 50K VS 26K

[sinful garden]

Idk yet tbh

[rough garnet]

BC MY FAMILY IS LOWK NOT RICH

[sinful garden]

I dont have a top choice

[cunning roost]

HOLY ENJOY JHU

[sinful garden]

Never even been to the majority of the schools that I applied to

[cunning roost]

TINTIN DREAMS SHATTERED

[rough garnet]

wait can someone please explain premed stuff to me tho

[rough garnet]

wait idk i havent made a choice yet

[sinful garden]

Literally only ones I went to were Darty and MIT

[rough garnet]

ubt the aid

good lord

[plain gorge]

same tbh

[elfin pilot]

congrats to all who got in i got rejected

[plain gorge]

after stanny rejection

lolz

[cunning roost]

we will still split the tintin rocket

okay?

[sinful garden]

I feel like if I got off mit wl I'd prob take instantly

But idk

[plain gorge]

im kinda glad-ish i got rejected from mit

cuz if i got in i think i would force myself to take it but idk if it'd be the best fit

[sinful garden]

Mhm

[rough garnet]

200% i will come pick it up

[cunning roost]

OKAYYYYY

[echo canyon]

MIT wow damn

[sinful garden]

I lied

Apparently

[echo canyon]

damn where's he at then lol

[sinful garden]

Idk

[slim monolith]

no

[obtuse girder]

congrats to anyone that got in sorry if u got rejected 😕

[errant sundial]

Accepted guys 🙌

[obtuse girder]

if u got waitlisted tho u can still get in ik someone that got off the waitlist so its still possible

[turbid roost]

1% chance

[broken elk]

soft rejection

[spark kite]

Is waitlist good

For outlook on my other apps

[lost solstice]

hi guys just curious does jhu accept by major or at least consider major in ur application

cuz i applied as a econ/businessy major and all my stem pre med ish friends got waitlisted and i got in so i was wondering if thats a factor

[cunning roost]

i applied econ and got rejected, congrats!

u as well?

they hate us lmao

yeah

we are texting in the brown ED group

all the chud rejects applied to MIT and ND lmao

no ofc not lol

why would i do rd if i got in ed

did u do brown ed?

cooked

[lost solstice]

is nd notre dame lmao

i did penn cas ED and got rejected

might have dodged a bullet tho cuz in retrospective i prob would have hated penn

[void girder]

I second this. I was looking for what major I had been accepted to and did not see it at all on my portal 😵

Let me know if you get an answer

[grand bough]

wait how so

[broken elk]

so will I get waitlisted for every ivy now

[lost solstice]

wait yeah pls elaborate

[fierce spear]

I am not claiming this negative energy

[echo canyon]

Bro noooo

I got waitlisted

Ts boutta SUCK

[broken elk]

I also dont necessarily agree with that because JHU is often crowded with premed applicants

[rough garnet]

do you have to apply into premed

or can you join from
engineering in first year?

[wary ferry]

there's a mofo brown ed group

omggg

and i wasn't invited

[ashen mountain]

did anyone get into jhu?

it was massare for my friends

but most of them are intl

[broken elk]

Nah u just put doctor in future plan and then ur ECs are all like research and health related

So there are likely so many clones doing JHU lmao

[rough garnet]

most excellent wow i didn’t know premed+cheme was an option

thank you

[ashen mountain]

any intl who got into jhu here

[wary ferry]

wow you aren't homeless anymore

congrats

[cunning roost]

Twas on Reddit

[tropic furnace]

Is there anyone else with Hodson trust scholar here RD?

or even ED, idk

bro who pinged me and deleted their message 😭

[magic flume]

this isn't true btw

every college has a different set of institutional priorities

and they also have a different set of missions/student body theyre trying to build

cmu doesn't yield...

especially not in scs or stat/ML

or in fine arts

most likely if you were qualified, their institutional priorities just didn't fit you

correlation =/= causation

[limpid grotto]

i got waitlisted from JHU which is rlly crazy

[magic flume]

good example of institutional priorities back at it

i also got WL

but ik i'm qualified + wasn't yielded (jhu doesn't need to yield)

[magic flume]

if you had to ask me i think we should just get rid of institutional priorities apart from SES and geographic region

for reasons discussed in the MIT server

since colleges are meant to educate and serve OTHERS, not serve themselves

but oh well

[limpid grotto]

did u make mit

[magic flume]

nah

institutional priorities

[limpid grotto]

i got into schools ppl were say are harder

[magic flume]

yeah it's unfortunate

[limpid grotto]

i got waitlisted but rlly only reason i could think is if they didnt think id go

[magic flume]

some people look "less qualified" on paper but we're not the AO's so we'll never know

[magic flume]

they mightve just not needed someone with your profile this year

there's like thousands upon thousands of people applying

[limpid grotto]

nah my profile was competitive enough

[magic flume]

it's possible for a couple others to match up with you that ED'ed already

[limpid grotto]

i just wish they gave a reason

[obtuse girder]

im not really sure tbh

[magic flume]

unless you're like IMO or an Olympic athlete... no one's ever irreplaceable

[limpid grotto]

we had ppl who weer less competitive from our school alr get in ED

[limpid grotto]

ur right

[magic flume]

right that's probably why then

same with me

[limpid grotto]

yea but they legit

didnt have competitive stats

im not mad they got in tho theyre my friends lol

[magic flume]

it's less so yield-prot and more like self-serving institutional priorities

[limpid grotto]

im just wondering why that matters much cuz my school sends a couple to jhu per year

[magic flume]

same

they were all premed too

[summer patrol]

you really think so? Im getting kinda hopeless 😭

[lost solstice]

its weird cuz my pre meds friends we are pretty similar on paper in terms of demographics n stuff besides obviously the major

so idrk

[obtuse girder]

if u look up jhu admissions 2030 from. 2 hrs ago it talks about the rd results

[magic flume]

it's not about whether i think so or not

it's true

each person (and college) is different

[obtuse girder]

the only major they admit by is bme since u can switch super easily to anything else

[magic flume]

also if theyve taken like 5 kids from ur school ED then ur kinda fried

so it also depends on luck

[obtuse girder]

i got into jhu and no other schools after different schools look at different things dont feel hopeless

[amber arch]

I’m cooked if WL right

[magic flume]

though i will say if youre getting consistent rejections (not even WL or deferrals) at top colleges so far from public EA's/private RD's it's not looking too great

[amber arch]

I applied AMS too

[magic flume]

unless it's a school like T5's

[lost solstice]

67% from public school is surprising

[amber arch]

I’ve gotten waitlisted CMU, uchcicago and now JHU

[magic flume]

WL is much better than reject

[amber arch]

wtf is this

[magic flume]

it means youve basically cleared the bar but they just werent looking for your profile that year

reject doesn't necessarily mean you didn't clear the bar

[obtuse girder]

not fully true, jhu was the only non state school i got into so it really just depends 🤷‍♀️

[magic flume]

but with WL you know for sure

[amber arch]

Yes I hate to sound like a bitch but it’s getting annoying

Waitlisted everywhere

[magic flume]

it IS fully true because that's how statistics works

you were just an exception

if something happens 95/100 times then it truly is "'not looking too great"

that's not to say it's an end-all-be-all

[limpid grotto]

did u get in?

[magic flume]

but it certainly serves as an indicator (with some exceptions ofc)

[limpid grotto]

bro JHU def did some bs icl

[magic flume]

nah a bunch of other people from my school ED'ed so i got fried

im not mad tho cuz i got into better schools alr

[amber arch]

Did you get in?

[magic flume]

thats why i said it's all abt the institutional priorities

[limpid grotto]

nope wl

[amber arch]

Same

MIT better tho

[magic flume]

it's not abt "yield" or wtv atp it's just luck

that's the truth

[amber arch]

So is GT

[magic flume]

for engineering definitely

and cs

[amber arch]

Eng/CS

[magic flume]

yeah

[limpid grotto]

there were ppl who i asked that got in b4 at my school and region who looked at my app and said like everything was better than theirs (there worrds not mine)

[magic flume]

jhu easily wins for premed tho

but that's kinda niche

[lost solstice]

my school is a public school we r lowkey a ucb feeder but usually for top privates we send like 1 person for each except for hypsm (usually none maybe 1 or 2)

[limpid grotto]

they all got disappointed when i told them i didnt get in

[amber arch]

Better research yeah

[magic flume]

luck

[amber arch]

For BME too it’s actually close butJHU better

[magic flume]

that's why people say don't let your college decisions define you

[limpid grotto]

JHU still puts u up for other majors

[magic flume]

youre not better or worse for landing a "6" on a die over someone else

[obtuse girder]

it also depends on the admissions person looking at ur application sometimes some ppl are harsher than others

[magic flume]

this is also true

and your region

and your high school

[limpid grotto]

yo the ppl who got in form my school that loked at my app

[amber arch]

Wym

[limpid grotto]

were all rlly cracked

[magic flume]

and your profile

[limpid grotto]

u still get considered for not BME if u dont get it

[magic flume]

so it's really just a crapshoot

[limpid grotto]

or do u think

its wl

for BME

[amber arch]

Oh

[limpid grotto]

im not sure

[magic flume]

eh could be worse

[amber arch]

I applied AMS

Idk how comp that is

[magic flume]

GT is great so you know you clear the baseline

[obtuse girder]

yeah ik what helped me was that i was a big fish in a small pond, and the only one that applied to jhu

[limpid grotto]

gtech stem is prob harder than JHU

[magic flume]

you'll likely get into somewhere equally as good or better, but if you don't then it's fine because you know it's THEM, not YOU

[limpid grotto]

if u got in for a non humanities major at gtech i would say its harder oos

[amber arch]

Oos for my major is around 8% JHU a little harder

[magic flume]

yeah 100% apart from premed in terms of merit

[limpid grotto]

that was overall acceptance rate

[limpid grotto]

no def not

[magic flume]

yeah that helps fs

[amber arch]

Based on the data from GT lite it’s 8.2% at

Ar

[magic flume]

GTech is easily more meritocratic than JHU (apart from premed, which is more heavily scrutinized due to limited seats) due to being a public institution

thhere's nothing to debate

[magic flume]

in terms of engineering/cs

it's the law argue all you want but the truth remains

[limpid grotto]

the avg person applying gtech is way more cracked

[limpid grotto]

yea oos includes humanities too

ik ppl who made gtech econ

with a bit lower app quality according to them

anything stem related is harder

[amber arch]

No it gives major specific acceptance rate

[limpid grotto]

yea i didnt see that

[amber arch]

My major is new, so AR is a little higher

[limpid grotto]

bro ik a girl who made JHU with a 1450 sat

for premed

in my state

nth crazy too

[amber arch]

Crazy

[limpid grotto]

rejected gtech rejected everywhere

no hooks

[amber arch]

In RD?

[limpid grotto]

she ED'd JHU and got deferred

yea

the only reason i can think is hihg priority she goes

that's what she said too

[amber arch]

Ed might have helped even in RD

[limpid grotto]

she got deferred

yea

[amber arch]

Yeah but for yield

[limpid grotto]

i mean yea u cant blame the college

[summer patrol]

I got rejected from CMU and Hopkins and im waitlisted lehigh

so, we’ll see

[amber arch]

Are you intl

[amber arch]

Of course

[summer patrol]

domestic

Oh I also got deferred from princeton forgot to mention that one

[worldly bay]

got in yay

[gleaming terrace]

congrats!!!!

[limpid grotto]

u get in jhu?

congrats btw

[limpid grotto]

congrats evan

[rough dove]

Rejected JHU

[limpid grotto]

r u eevantubehd

[summer patrol]

I didn’t sadly which is why im a lil worried for ivy day lol

maybe jhu fit just wasnt good enough, a lot of my app focused on music and media production stuff

[rough dove]

nahhh ik ppl who have like got rejected jhu and accepted ivies so we should be chilling

[limpid grotto]

yea same

[lost solstice]

yeah i dont think jhu is a super good indicator for ivies just cuz everything is so pre med heavy

[cunning roost]

U got in?

[lost solstice]

just curious does anyone have the stats of how many applicants there were this year

[limpid grotto]

nope

i got waitlisted

so im disgruntled

https://tenor.com/view/lebron-james-lebron-lebron-breakdown-lebron-james-frustraed-lebron-frustrated-gif-27572067

im gonna eat some apple slices to cool down

[summer patrol]

very true

[balmy stump]

What does that even mean

Dawg its mit wdym institutional priorities

If ur good youll get in if ur not u wont

Holy copium

[summer patrol]

all fairness nothing in this process is 100% meritocratic

[arctic delta]

slate correlation is propaganda

[limpid grotto]

if u got wl jhu u prob

were either on border or they dont think ur gonna come

very similar to cmu where they dont admit many off the wl

but the % of ppl on wl is very low if u check

can more ppl talk in this channel so we can all cope together???

[compact patio]

fuck ts

u need to get ur mom to take off nazar from u

🧿

no fr

[meager flume]

anyone else get into bme?

[compact patio]

i will wait

and cast a spell following youtube witches

[tropic furnace]

Yeah

[sonic chasm]

is there a jhu 2030 server?

[rough dove]

omg did u get into bme

[craggy cloud]

accepted cs

[charred goblet]

Awww I got wl for bme, it's okay though bc that's not bad considering I wrote my essay the day it was due xD Cg everyone who was accepeted!!!!!!

[craggy cloud]

thank you!

ur fine lol many more schools yet to come out

[charred goblet]

Ya!

Im very lucky tho as I already got into my top choice so I just have to make sure I'm not ripped off by financial aid and I'm cruisin' 😎

Have fun in Baltimore (assuming you're going) major twin!!!!

[rough garnet]

also interested!!

[meager flume]

lol yea

im not going tho so maybe one of yall will get off the waitlist

[sonic chasm]

where u going?

[meager flume]

lol idk yet but not jhu cuz i have zero interest in bme or premed 💀

[charred goblet]

Why'd you apply then? xD

[void girder]

Yah like for shits and giggles?

Oh fuckkkk that too

[charred goblet]

Awww well congrats regardless, gj for getting in even if you didn't want to!

[meager flume]

thanks i hope my diabolical luck transfers to my other RDs

[charred goblet]

It's not luck, it's your hard work in hs! It def will transfer :D

[livid token]

Real

Dw we will cook next week 🔥

Ivies and Stanford

[lost solstice]

Same icl I applied last minute cuz my mom made me did not expect this outcome at all

[meager flume]

ya everyone here worked super hard but there are far too few seats, its really just up to getting insanely lucky w institutional priorities

[rough garnet]

same i just did it bc my mom said it was good i didnt know it was a t20

[broken elk]

yo did u leave the server

lol

yeah I lowkey wanna cope so badly

[glossy citrus]

LMFAO

[tropic furnace]

He got banned 😭

[glossy citrus]

bro why

[glossy citrus]

genuinely what

bro what does jhu want

[slim monolith]

is peabody out

[broken elk]

what did he do lmao

i mean the guy was being kinda aggressive 😭

[tropic furnace]

Am I allowed to say or am I gonna get banned 😭

Idk something in the MIT chat apparently from what he told me 💀

[broken elk]

shoot bro

congrats on jhu btw

oh he just argued abt imo lol

[tropic furnace]

Thank you!

[acoustic hare]

same dude who was bitching about how women are given an unfair advantage into mit and if ur a woman and apply to mit ur getting in

glad he is gone

[broken elk]

tf whys he saying that

he said jhu result is good indication for ivies

i dont get his takes lol

[latent verge]

That is wild

[broken elk]

yeah hes cooked

[lost solstice]

holy cap 💀

[craggy cloud]

1984 ahh sever

ping?

[slim monolith]

mb

[tropic furnace]

I think that was someone else

Not hopscotch

[cold frigate]

chat if my financial package is krazy can I appeal it

[tropic furnace]

Yes

[cold frigate]

ok good

[livid token]

I think that was a different guy

[cold frigate]

my family clearly makes way less than 200k and my package is like 60+ grands

[acoustic hare]

no that was hopscotch

[cold frigate]

maybe they barely want me so they jacked up my financial package

[acoustic hare]

other guy was talking about how it’s unfair DEI, hopscotch said women are an easy accept

and that his IMO friends weren’t

[junior heath]

has anyone gotten waitlisted to jhu but into ivies in the past

[amber arch]

Not an unfair advantage but something to consider especially if you’re a stem major.

[livid token]

Ohh yeah

I remember now
The other guy(not hopscotch) was saying he didn't get in because of dei

[acoustic hare]

yes and then said i’m a product of a dei system for supporting it 😭

[cold frigate]

I don't think its that correlated, I got rejected to uchicago, cmu, and uiuc but won the lottery at john hopkins, I think its more about fit

[junior heath]

congrats!

hmm yeah

[amber arch]

Congrats!!! You never know why you got in but all it takes is one

[charred goblet]

Idk about ivies yet but I was accepted to MIT but wl to JHU, if that helps answer at all 🥲

[junior heath]

DANG

congrats!!

[charred goblet]

TYSM!!! yahhhhh Idk much about what JHU is looking for but I guess I wasn't it, thats okay

[junior heath]

i heard based on two yr ago stats they take like 2.5k waitlist??

is that a lot

[cold frigate]

don't even know if I can go because they didn't give a flying fuck that my family makes way less than 200k

[obtuse girder]

appeal i got a decent amount more aid after appealing

[charred goblet]

I saw that too xD I honestly have no idea, it SOUNDS like a lot but??? No idea. Also I was waitlisted for their "impacted major" (I think thats what it's called?) aka BME, so that may skew my results but.... No clue

[cold frigate]

okok tyty how soon should I do it, maybe a dumb question and should do it right away

[glossy citrus]

I’m p sure these were two diff people

[glossy citrus]

yes

friend from last cycle got wl and got into Columbia

[junior heath]

i applied for molecular bio i think

is that impacted 💀

[obtuse girder]

i would recommend soon (i still need to do my aid for next year whoops)

[junior heath]

wow that’s great!

[cold frigate]

okok tyty

[obtuse girder]

im not sure if u would have to wait until you get an official hopkins id and email tho, but im pretty sure u dont

[charred goblet]

1. Molecular bio is the coolest just wanted to say 2) jhu only admits by major for BME, otherwise its just holistic :D Im 99% sure, at least

[junior heath]

ahhh i see

[junior heath]

haha yeah molecular bio is super cool

what major are u for mit??

[primal turret]

is jhu just stats

i swear like everyone ik w 1570+ good rank got in

[junior heath]

i had 1580 and got waitlisted so…

[primal turret]

o

[livid token]

😭

It looks like the mods deleted most of that convo
Not there anymore

[cold frigate]

Im 1520

[charred goblet]

bioengineering :D Butttt Im going to try to dual major or minor in math + their global language thingy

[junior heath]

prob not just stats!

[junior heath]

THAT SOUNDS SOO FUN

global language also must be super interesting

[charred goblet]

YESSS IM SO EXCITED!!! I'm anxiously awaiting my financial aid package 🥹

[obtuse girder]

in another life i would be an ams major 💔

[charred goblet]

Awww I believe you can make it in this life too if you really want to 💪 trust

[charred goblet]

Study abroad is lit one of the graduation requirements it's going to be so funnn

[junior heath]

where are u planning on going??

[obtuse girder]

im almost a senior (that sounds wild to say out loud) 😭 not worth the pivot now

[charred goblet]

No need to pivot!!! You can always try to minor and or dual major. Plus, math can so easily apply to other fields!

[charred goblet]

They have a program that goes to shenzhen/hong kong/ + somewhere in taiwan, I've been learning mandarin for 12 years now (not a native speaker tho) so that one makes the most sense xD

[obtuse girder]

maybe if it was earlier in my college career but im not spending another minute longer than 4 years at jhu 💀

[charred goblet]

Oh omg I thought you meant h.s senior 😭 That makes more sense

[broken elk]

bro idfk I had a 1540 with ISEF finalist and hella health-related service. It felt like my app fit with JHU so much i guess a lot of it is luck too depending on who reviews u

[obtuse girder]

loll yeah i realized all good

[glossy citrus]

no lol

[obtuse girder]

speaking from experience its not

[hot cove]

Your friend is not a reliable narrator

[junior heath]

woahh sounds so fun!! I wish you the best of luck!

[charred goblet]

Tyyy you too! You got ivy day 😎

[tropic furnace]

I think “friend” is an overstatement for someone that I’ve talked to for like a day 💀. clearly I don’t know every detail that actually went down so I’m not rly in a position to make further judgments nor do I want to be roped into this any further lol

I am sorry if anything I said came across the wrong way

[amber arch]

I applied for that 😭

Got WL tho

I’ve heard it’s a great program tho

[ember bone]

Does jhu give out a lot of waitlist?

[broken elk]

yes

[amber arch]

No

Well idk actually

2700 offered but is how many of that is from RD

[ember bone]

i just tryna understand how cooked am i for cornell and nu if i got waitlisted

[amber arch]

Not cooked

[broken elk]

not cooked at all

[amber arch]

Well that’s what I’m telling myself

[broken elk]

my friends who didnt get JHU all got into HYPSM

[amber arch]

Waitlisted CMU, uchicago, jhu

[raven spear]

Wait am I bound for greatness then

Rejected 🥹🥹🥹😆

[broken elk]

perchance

yeah he got in MIT last week

and rejected today jhu

[raven spear]

I don’t think I would have gone if I got in to be honest

The premed environment seems so toxic and competitive

[amber arch]

Oh really ☠️

[raven spear]

My mental health would probably just go kaput there

[amber arch]

I wish I did premed

[tropic furnace]

hmmm i tried to look back earlier but it seems i may have been missing context and I can't check now since some messages are deleted, so I apologize for what I said earlier. I am also very sorry to hear that he said that to you 😭

anyway i don't wanna get involved in this drama any further so i'm just gonna shut up now lol

[acoustic hare]

why do u keep bringing this up

it’s done

and ur “friend” isn’t a good resource

[tropic furnace]

nah i js got home and had a chance to reread the convo

[amber arch]

Brings it up again

[main nymph]

this is an evil school

evil blue jays

[broken elk]

its fine he said he'd stop talking abt it

[amber arch]

People get pressed over anything now 😭

[raven spear]

Evil blue jays 🤬

[amber arch]

It’s chill

[raven spear]

Literally

[tropic furnace]

||bro I think i'm severely missing context what does this even mean 😭||

[broken elk]

yeah its fine tho. I got flamed in rice server like last month for saying that there are more rice alum in texas

ppl needa chill

[amber arch]

How does one get flamed for that bro

[raven spear]

People are just stressed from decisions and take it out on random people

[broken elk]

its backed by statistics

but i got flamed

[amber arch]

You don’t even need stats

It’s common sense

[broken elk]

yeah its like rice is literally in texas LOL

[amber arch]

And I’m a stats major lol

[broken elk]

dawg idek it was a rice admit who told me that too

[amber arch]

Is it speculated to release on 3/25

[broken elk]

yes

[tropic furnace]

bro that's crazy 😭

[broken elk]

wednesday

[tropic furnace]

wait you were WL?

[broken elk]

yup

[tropic furnace]

dang

[broken elk]

i got interview for top bs/md programs too

[plush gate]

i mean u can switch lol

[broken elk]

I wont let jhu WL ruin my doctor dreams

[amber arch]

Cracked

[plush gate]

no

[broken elk]

thank u 😭

[plush gate]

u don’t wanna go to jhu anyway

[broken elk]

LMAOOO factual

baltimore

yale is better

[plush gate]

the only person i know at jhu started balding after he got to jhu

[amber arch]

Now I feel honored to be on the waitlist with you 😭

[broken elk]

yale mogs

[plush gate]

jhu rejected me too twin

[amber arch]

Nowhere near dem stats

[tidal kiln]

it’s okay bro

[plush gate]

well not too

but jhu rejected me

[broken elk]

lmao i'm flattered but i'm sure you were just as accomplished

[latent verge]

who wanted to be sentenced to 4 years in Baltimore anyway

[main nymph]

jhu is evil

[latent verge]

[tidal kiln]

Uhmmm I already am 😭

[plush gate]

i’m in baltimore right now it’s nice

[amber arch]

I need you to spam this every hour

[plush gate]

[broken elk]

step in the hood

[main nymph]

[broken elk]

are they violating human rights

[main nymph]

yeah for not admitting me

[latent verge]

Bro suppose to be in New Haven

[tropic furnace]

😭 so you're telling me i should go to GT instead

[broken elk]

only 1 kid in my school got in bruhh and shes more cracked than me

so it makes sense

[main nymph]

real ones go to american university

[charred goblet]

the red jays...

[plush gate]

i mean weigh ur offers

[plush gate]

yale on spring break

[main nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/clawed-z-eagle-mascot-american-university-gif-7372858351374774419

[plush gate]

i’m at a conference

[plush gate]

i usually say that to comfort people who didn’t get in lol

jhu is a great place, try and visit!

[woeful jolt]

i got in had a 1560 and some good ecs

[tropic furnace]

yeah JHU has better financials for me rn than GT unless I get stamps lol

I'm really hoping I get into yale tho, that was my REA school

[woeful jolt]

full ride too

[high fractal]

damn

jhu for me is 95k

per yr

[plush gate]

omg

If u get in come!!!

[high fractal]

ima prolly choose ut over ts

[rough dove]

i heard that bme at jhu is bad bc its so jack of all trades and is only geared for pre-meds not engineers

[charred goblet]

WWoooooot woot cgg :D

[rough garnet]

same gt was my dream school

[broken elk]

DAMN

HODSON TRUST?

[plush gate]

yeah don’t go into 400k debt

lol

[tropic furnace]

my family doesn't make that much money so I got the full tuition aid and they gave me Hodson Trust scholar too 😭

[plush gate]

yay congrats

[broken elk]

wait hodson isnt full ride

[main nymph]

Did you tell yale to let me in

[plush gate]

oh shit congrats!

[broken elk]

congrats tho

[charred goblet]

Thats interesting! That makes me feel a lil better abt my rejection xD

[plush gate]

i’m not there rn but when i get back trust

[broken elk]

dangg ur so cracked

[main nymph]

yay

[woeful jolt]

it just said i qualified for free tuition based on my family income

[broken elk]

congrats!

[main nymph]

if only my legacy counter for yale

my grandpa went there for graduate

[tropic furnace]

nah trust i'm not it has to be geography lmao I live in iowa

[woeful jolt]

i applied early action to gt

they said i was too low income

[plush gate]

don’t discredit your acceptance!

[tropic furnace]

like I did not have ISEF and all 😭

[woeful jolt]

and said i could transfer next year gauranteed

[plush gate]

you deserve it

[woeful jolt]

if i wanted to

[plush gate]

most people don’t? lol

[woeful jolt]

but proly won't happen they don't give enough aif

[broken elk]

u didnt need it

[sonic chasm]

lolol but u could switch to electrical!

[woeful jolt]

jhu is pretty elite for ece and mech E

[woeful jolt]

there career placements show alot of people going to lockheed martin , raytheon , northrup grumman

especially for such a small class size

[tropic furnace]

i assume you're still waiting on ivy day right? did you apply CMU or uchicago btw?

hopefully it all turns out good 🙏

[woeful jolt]

i got into cmu for physics but it would be pretty hard to transfer to ece

so prolly not gonna go

[broken elk]

yeah I'm waiting on ivy day and my next decision is friday (washU). I didn't do cmu or uchicago

[woeful jolt]

they said i could take it as an additional major

when i called the admissions office up

[acoustic hare]

i sometimes forget how STEM this server is

[woeful jolt]

but i think itd be too much workload to focus on my projects

[rough garnet]

wb cheme?

[rough dove]

yes exactly! If you take a look at the jhu reddit the graduates seem to warn future bme-ers to not take that major because of how much changes are being made to it every year

[woeful jolt]

i dunno about that

[rough garnet]

ope....

[woeful jolt]

but must be good

[high fractal]

i can afford it lol

[tropic furnace]

ah, i was wondering cuz I got rejected UFlorida, CMU and WL UChicago so like literally these acceptances/rejects can be so random LOL

[sonic chasm]

hahahaha i’m doing electrical

[high fractal]

my parents have 400k saved up

[woeful jolt]

its ranked like 13th acc to us news for eng do of that what you will

[high fractal]

but i prefer to go somewhere cheaper bc im still full pay

[main nymph]

aint you a math major

[rough garnet]

hmm do you happen to remember meche/ece?

[acoustic hare]

also! if u look on reddit, current students say if u want to do stuff BME, there are SO many opportunities in the curriculum to supplement basically u earning the degree but not

[main nymph]

can your parents give me a loan

[high fractal]

💀

[broken elk]

DAMN at least JHU saw something special in u

[high fractal]

at jhu, i can do double major right

[woeful jolt]

i think so

[high fractal]

i got in for cs but wanna do neuro double major

[rough dove]

yall I've been staying strong for the past 7 hours but I just burst out crying when I told my mom 💔

[woeful jolt]

you are undecided for the first year

you can litr do anything

[high fractal]

bet

[woeful jolt]

im prolly gonna double major mech e and ece

[high fractal]

nice

[woeful jolt]

except bme i think

if i do go

[rough garnet]

what % of jhu is premed SEVENTY WTAF

[rough garnet]

DAMN

[plush gate]

yeah

soo

[tropic furnace]

yo i was gonna do CS + Bio lol

[plush gate]

yeah no

[high fractal]

if i go (prolly not happening), ima do cs + neuro major w minor in computer integrated surgery one

[plush gate]

don’t do this lol

[woeful jolt]

LMAO

[rough dove]

yo exactly

[woeful jolt]

my brother at duke is doing cs + ece

[charred goblet]

Aw gee, I wonder why it's still so highly ranked then

[rough dove]

thats why they didnt want us

[plush gate]

i mean u also can say ur gonna do it

[woeful jolt]

said its not that hard

[plush gate]

i think it’s unlikely that u do it

[high fractal]

wait 70% 😭

[rough garnet]

they let me in but like....im not premed

[plush gate]

that’s like a common joint major tho

[high fractal]

thats fucked

[woeful jolt]

hmmmm true

i guess ill gauge the workload

and see if i can do it or not

[high fractal]

i think i have one of most uncommon major combinations bc no one rlly does ts anymore

[rough dove]

your special (its giving that one meme like i like you have a cupcake)

[rough garnet]

is cheme premed doable even

[high fractal]

i heard dont do bme at jhu if ur premed

[rough garnet]

today has been confusing

[tropic furnace]

rly??

[rough dove]

ohhhh i just realized i know why they let you in

[high fractal]

bc avg jhu bme gpa is like 3.4

[rough dove]

fr???

[woeful jolt]

what do you guys think about vandy vs jhu

[high fractal]

yes

[woeful jolt]

for ece

[rough garnet]

........so i didnt know jhu was mostly for med :D

[broken elk]

jhu

[woeful jolt]

in terms of job prospects

[rough garnet]

and now the aid is too peak to turn down

[woeful jolt]

any reason?

[broken elk]

u get full ride at both right

[rough dove]

i got it its bc ur the medics wife so you got that premed connection going for you

[woeful jolt]

yah hypothetically same price

[broken elk]

i think their engineering school is better but correct me if I'm wrong JHU is also considered a more prestigious university

[rough garnet]

THANK YOU THIS IS GENUINELY WHAT HAPPENED I SWEAR

[tropic furnace]

nah i know a few people who do computational neuro i don't think it's that uncommon actually but like... biased sample size LOL

[rough garnet]

medic wants me to be a premed

[woeful jolt]

tru jhu is number 7 . vandy is number 17 in terms of over all school ranking

[high fractal]

lmao

[woeful jolt]

acc to us news

[broken elk]

fr I think jhu by name just carries more weight too

[high fractal]

was jhu first t10 to drop

[broken elk]

it just sounds better than vanderbilt

[rough dove]

facts

[broken elk]

yup

[high fractal]

its the second one i got into

acc wait nvm

columbia isnt t10

[broken elk]

its an ivy tho

[woeful jolt]

LMAO

[broken elk]

likely

[woeful jolt]

rea?

[high fractal]

yeah

[broken elk]

u got a likely right

[high fractal]

yep

[woeful jolt]

or likely

[tropic furnace]

you got a columbia likely?

[high fractal]

likely

[woeful jolt]

oooo

cool

[high fractal]

yes

[tropic furnace]

oh dang

[broken elk]

WW

[high fractal]

bro but i didnt get their merit scholarship

i got rabi scholar

which is js 3.5k in research funding + free housing for summer research

columbia is still 100k/yr for me lmao

[broken elk]

YOO

[high fractal]

and ut is better at cs and i have deans scholar at ut

[broken elk]

this is their top scholar program thing

[tropic furnace]

nooo 😭

[rough dove]

good job + congrats!!

[broken elk]

r u in state?

[high fractal]

no

[broken elk]

bro i didnt even get deans scholar

[high fractal]

but i will be in state after 1 yr if i go

[broken elk]

im pissed abt that icl

[high fractal]

fr?

[tropic furnace]

did you just move ?

[broken elk]

yes dude rabi scholar is insane...

[high fractal]

no - there is a strat that i have to gatekeep

[rough garnet]

would yall do meche at gt 250k/4 years or cheme at jhu for a better deal

[broken elk]

but 100k is a lot

[high fractal]

i thought egelston and davis r better

they r full ride + u get 10k

[broken elk]

what is that merit based?

or need

[high fractal]

bro rabi is still need based

[rough dove]

hmmm what subject are u most interested in

[woeful jolt]

anybody know of a jhu server for incoming students?

[high fractal]

while egelston and davis r js full ride

[woeful jolt]

or just students in general

[broken elk]

oh shit

wait i woulda applied columbia if I knew there were chances for merit

😭

[high fractal]

its cooked

10-15 incoming get

[main nymph]

does it work with ucs

[high fractal]

per each one

[rough garnet]

ermmm i have college to figure that out :D

[broken elk]

oh nvm then

[rough garnet]

im so locked out

[high fractal]

no

cali has cooked laws

[broken elk]

my mom said she won't pay for anything below t10

[woeful jolt]

lmaooooo

[high fractal]

related to residency and taxes and stuff

[tropic furnace]

😭

that's crazy

[broken elk]

yeah thats why i had to find schools with merit scholarships just to try

[charred goblet]

Aw :(

[high fractal]

what do u have so far

[broken elk]

ut austin

[rough dove]

i would go by which subject I truly feel like I would excel in, then distance to my home (so I can go back + forth), and then prestige (which in this case is jhu for me) -- you also said jhu is a better deal?

[high fractal]

type shi

its t10-t20 for most majors ngl

[broken elk]

yeah im neuroscience tho loll

[high fractal]

lol

[broken elk]

i lowkey want bsmds

i have interviews soon

[high fractal]

neuro at ut is t20 i think

[meager flume]

yea lol but for me personally if im not doing the legendary jhu bme major then im not paying 90k when i can just go to my state school yk

[woeful jolt]

engineering

[high fractal]

also their neuro faculty is so tuff

[broken elk]

im just worried cuz they closed office of undergrad research

[high fractal]

i got cs + neuro at ut w deans scholar

[broken elk]

and I didnt get deans

[woeful jolt]

you didn't get any aid?

[rough dove]

holyyyyy i read this as smth else and i was so lost bc i thought this was a college discord

[high fractal]

there is freshman research initiative that u can apply to

[plush gate]

yeah but u won’t like urself

[high fractal]

ive heard its alr tho

nothing too special

[charred goblet]

You will be successful anywhere you go, Tri, do not let rank get to you in the case you get a great merit offer!! 😄

[plush gate]

it’s so nice seeing all the ambitious plans because like

[meager flume]

nah ik i could appeal but i doubt i would get enough to make it worth considering

[plush gate]

college will humble you a little bit

[rough garnet]

its half the price for me but its ranked a bit lower but then again....i dont see how that would matter? just not sure if i would fit in here as someone who isnt a premed

[broken elk]

oh LMAO

[plush gate]

not in a condescending way it happens to everyone

[rough garnet]

perfect i dont anyway

[broken elk]

thank you so much ! I will try not to get discouraged

[high fractal]

arent u at yale

[plush gate]

it’s just not very worth it

[broken elk]

oh shoot ur right

[plush gate]

yeah

yale humbled me

[high fractal]

how is it

[plush gate]

💀

[woeful jolt]

i think you should appeal and set what price you atleast need to go and if you don't get it you weren't gonna go anyways

[plush gate]

i love it but it’s hard

and stressful

[rough dove]

definetly tour! i think that will answer your questions :3

[broken elk]

bruh idk i just want a place where research opportunity isnt a problem cuz im super passionate abt research

[high fractal]

what major

[plush gate]

but it’s also great

math / stats

either or probably stats tho

[high fractal]

same i think its why i got into jhu

[rough garnet]

isnt bme premed very common? cheme seems compareably difficult

[plush gate]

with a lot of math classes

[high fractal]

nice

[plush gate]

bme premed is not super common

[high fractal]

ts must be fried tho

[rough garnet]

youre so right im just scared 😭

[broken elk]

lmao my entire app was research and health-related service jhu was such a great fit

[plush gate]

i mean i like math

[high fractal]

valid

[plush gate]

and it goes well with stats

[rough garnet]

oh okay just knew a lot of people doing that ig

[high fractal]

lol

[plush gate]

probability is very analysis based

so i’m gonna try n take a lot of analysis

& measure theory

[rough dove]

girl u got nothing to be scared about! you've got some amazing acceptances in the bag and all you need to choose is where to go

[meager flume]

yeah ig ill try if i dont get into another RD school

[woeful jolt]

im confused between cmu and jhu right now . i got into cmu for physics and i could take ece as an additional major because its pretty hard to transfer between schools but at the same time it'll be alot of work load to focus on out of academic projects which i need for jobs plus cmu is a very grindy school .

[meager flume]

but im 99% sure im not going to jhu

[high fractal]

same

[plush gate]

have you visited either

[broken elk]

hopefully I get that WL spot then lmao

[plush gate]

i think visiting both and talking to current students

is a good idea

[rough garnet]

thanks so much i really appreciate you!! best of luck on the rest of your rd apps :3

[woeful jolt]

no i haven't and probably won't get the opportunity too due to famiily circumstances

[plush gate]

i think it’s understandable to have a lot of grandiose plans and major in a lot of different things but college is a lot more than strictly your academics

[rough dove]

seeeee it isnt a soft rejection you have so much hope😭

[plush gate]

oh i see

[broken elk]

im neuroscience rip

[high fractal]

its fine

ull get my spot

prolly

[broken elk]

today has got to be top 10 worst days in my life lol

[plush gate]

like you’re going to be balancing a lot already just as a college student.. pursuing something super difficult like ee and meche will make it even worse

[high fractal]

i wanna get off of cmu wl for scs lol

[plush gate]

but talk to cmu and jhu students if u can

that will probably give u the most clarity

[woeful jolt]

yeah i know thats why i am doubting going to cmu cause i'll have to juggle physics and ece .

[rough garnet]

do you know where i could talk to jhu students?

[broken elk]

nah hella bad things happened in my life today that go beyond jhu

[plush gate]

well you don’t have to? lol

[woeful jolt]

at jhu i have more flexibility between mech e and ece

[plush gate]

u can pick one

like at least what i’ve realized is that double majoring is kind of pointless

at least in stem

[rough garnet]

are you wl?

[broken elk]

yes

[plush gate]

hmmm

[rough garnet]

take my spot

[woeful jolt]

nonon i got accepted into physics which is the mellon college of science. it is infamously hard to transfer to the college of engineering and it isn't gauranteed at all and very hard

[high fractal]

how have decisions gone for all of ygs so far

[broken elk]

LMAO I wish this would just work

[plush gate]

you lowk can just message them on instagram that’s not crazy

[plush gate]

no i understand

[broken elk]

but i wouldnt take a spot from someone who actually deserved it

[rough garnet]

would they bother replying to a stranger on ig tho

[woeful jolt]

i could only reliably take ece as an additional major on top of physics

[plush gate]

but you also could just study physics? or are u deadset on transferring

[rough garnet]

no idk what happened in my situation very interesting

[tropic furnace]

what about if you wanted to study computational bio/bioinformatics 😭

[woeful jolt]

i really wanna do engineering

[rough garnet]

i wish you could nominate someone

[plush gate]

i mean if u have jhu ‘30 in ur bio im sure some current jhu ppl will follow u back

[broken elk]

hey you got in tho! congrats!

what major did u apply?

[high fractal]

u can

js do cs + neuro or cs + bio

[tropic furnace]

that's one thing i've always questioned cuz like, not all schools have it as a "major"

[rough garnet]

this is very true...dont have ig tho :P

[rough garnet]

chemical engineering !

[high fractal]

i applied for comp bio to columbia and ucla and usc but at some other places, i will do cs + neuro

[plush gate]

i was trying to do comp bio research this summer as a stats major and the PI i talked to was like “if you want to do computational bio as a data science person i don’t expect you to have any background in biology”

[rough garnet]

thank you its been a strange day

[broken elk]

dangg thats super impressive good jobbb

[plush gate]

i mean but that’s one of the special cases i don’t think cs+ bio is crazy

or like math + bio

[tropic furnace]

ah i see

alr alr

[plush gate]

but you also can pursue comp bio just doing one or the other

[high fractal]

tru

[broken elk]

bro I have a VERY importnat interview next week but i cant find the urge to practice

[high fractal]

w a minor

[rough garnet]

wait is it tho? i heard not a lot of people consider jhu for engineering

[tropic furnace]

that's true!

[plush gate]

i’ve also learned that u can always just take classes in either major lol

u don’t need to be a bio major to complete 2 years of biology

[broken elk]

jhu is jhu u got in a t10 school

[plush gate]

and if that’s all the bio u want to do u can leave it at that

[high fractal]

jhu is t10?

oh wait by overall yes

[broken elk]

its tied 7 on usnews

[plush gate]

not a lot of people consider jhu for engineering bc not a lot of ppl get into jhu for engineering

lol

[woeful jolt]

my counselor told me to apply to physics to cmu cause its easier apparently and i was like aight didn't really think much of it

[high fractal]

for cs, its like 20 smth 😭

[woeful jolt]

but now im regretting lmao

[rough garnet]

i found out today what state jhu was in i did not know this thank you

[plush gate]

i mean are you still waiting on other schools

[tropic furnace]

cs rankings says it's like 40 smth but that's on publications 😭

[high fractal]

jhu is da in the hood tho

[broken elk]

lmao ur good

[broken elk]

LMAO fr

[rough garnet]

oh very interesting i always knew this school as a medschool

[high fractal]

baltimore is such a cooked city

[woeful jolt]

yeah most of the ivies,northwestern ,rice stanford

[broken elk]

damn id figure they be up there on publication rankings

[broken elk]

close to the white house lmao

[rough garnet]

does being a premed here make getting into jhu med school easier? wouldnt it be more competitive?

[high fractal]

nah

[plush gate]

it will be easier to make considerations once all of ur decisions are out

[rough dove]

ofccc! We should keep in touch too lol

[high fractal]

its more applied cs/ai research

[plush gate]

usually the school u go to doesnt rlly have any affiliation for the professional school u go to

[broken elk]

yeah drylab research is faster to publish

[plush gate]

like going to yale doesn’t help for getting into yls that much

[rough garnet]

yes definitely your aesthetic is os cool!!

[broken elk]

did u get YES scholar?

[plush gate]

i think this specific case actually makes it harder lol

[high fractal]

js look at matriculation rate from website for professional school
