<p>I had initially considered JHU, but there were a lot of comments in college review books, online statistics, etc. about the environment at JHU (cutthroat, dangerous, etc.) and that not many classes turn small until the 3rd year. Hence, I didn't apply. A faculty member from JHU called me recently about applying, but I was wondering what makes JHU differ from other universities (especially those that can offer small, indept discussion classes)?</p>
<p>Wow, it has been a month since one of these postings! Everyone knows how much I love the myths of Hopkins posts. I actually think there is some College Confidential conspiracy that gets people to log-in to the JHU board every month like clockwork to post these messages.</p>
<p>READ THE OLD THREADS -- all of your questions will be answered.</p>
<p>Oh and by the way, the deadline is January 1st.</p>
<p>Laxfan04 I actually have no idea what you are talking about. I was not creating myths or fabricating lies (Sorry, I'm not sure whether you're referring to the questions I asked about JHU or about JHU calling). I was called by, as I was told, a faculty member of the Biology Dept. at JHU, last night concerning my interest in JHU as a possible college next year. I had told the caller I hadn't applied to JHU, but he mentioned some sort of priority application that has a later deadline. However, I'm not sure how true that is since I can't find any information about such applications on JHU's website. Any info?</p>
<p>First, yes I was talking about your comments about JHU (cuthroat, dangerous, etc.) -- if you read old threads you would have seen that these topics have come up NUMEROUS times, and current JHU students like myself have commented about these myths.</p>
<p>As far as a faculty member calling you, that just sounds sketchy to me. In my two years working in the Admissions office I have never heard of faculty calling prospective applicants just two or three days before the application deadline. I am not saying you are not telling the truth, it just doesn't not sound like something that has the official Admissions seal of approval.</p>
<p>And no, there is no "priority" application with a later deadline.</p>
<p>laxfan, for online applications is the deadline 12:59 E.S.T. on Dec. 31 or 12:59 E.S.T. on Jan. 1?</p>
<p>anyone know if you can do paper supplement instead of online supplement?</p>
<p>^^I don't see why not...</p>
<p>actually i did an online app and sent a paper supplement, and they never received it. so i went back and sent the supplement online.</p>
