General Comments: congratulations to all who were accepted! you all deserve it! if you were rejected then i'm sorry, but you'll end up in the right place. fellow deferees (is that a word? probably not), set your sights high and i hope for the best for all of you.</p>
<p>Tinas started a thread last night about how her life was over and how she was gonna kill herself, so I'm guessing she got rejected. I think mods deleted it.</p>
<p>i think tinas was overly obsessed with jhu. I mean...it's nice to really want to go to a school...but that's over reacting</p>

I did not see her thread, but I will say that any student who thinks his or her life is over because he or she was not admitted to a particular school probably lacks the maturity to attend that school. Life's lessons can be learned from success as well as disappointment. Some of the smartest, happiest, and most successful people I have ever met could not have been admitted to JHU.</p>
<p>I agree completely. I mean, how can you be ready to go to college when you react like that?</p>
<p>wow congrats to everyone who got in! you all have to help me next year when i apply! </p>
<p>have fun at jhu!</p>
<p>i doubt it...she'll get over it =D</p>

I ended up talking a lot about my future, and how my heart is set on being involved in working abroad with the Peace Corps and related groups. My app reflected this with trips to other countries to work with orphanages and such.</p>
<p>CONGRATS TO EVERYONE</p>
<p>arent there any rejects this year in ED? i think JHU has been very generous in deferring all the non-suitable candidates.</p>

General Comments: I was the Captain of the Wrestling team, not something you see very often from somebody in chess club, mathletes, and science olympiads lol.
Congratulations to all accepted and good luck to all deferred</p>
<p>If I got the e-mail saying that I have been admitted under the Early Decision program, and my first choice major was Biomedical engineering, does this mean I was accepted to BME as well? Since the e-mail says they WILL see me next year, that means I am bound to the school. And the only case in which I would not be bound is if I was not accepted BME. Could anybody clarify this?</p>
<p>no you have to wait for the package for bme</p>
