@medstu1324 last year, they over-enrolled so they didnāt take one person off the waitlist. Iām guessing they did the opposite this year, and were more cautious. Thatās just what I think because it seems like a lot of people got waitlisted!!
@hg0987 You give me hope man, congrats on JHU thatās big time!!
I just got an email about my Financial Aid award but when I follow the instructions it says that no award info is available, does this mean I didnāt get anything?
To all those rejected and waitlisted: This is a brutal year with many schools cutting back from overenrollments last year. I am humbled by the stellar and quality candidates not admitted. You are all worthy of admission. Itās a crapshoot and should play no role whatsoever in your self-perception. I wish you all well as a parent and have faith that you will find an excellent outcome.
Waitlisted 3.76 UW 4.1 W. Honestly devastated rn );
Rejected with 1590 SAT and 3.96 UW GPA with strong ECs
@CaptainBeckett Iām with you man, still waiting on UNC, Amherst, UVA, and some Ivies. My confidence is gone. @ivyorbust27 you deserve better
@medstu1324 last year no students were admitted from the waitlist because of how many they admitted. Hopefully this year they have changed it to accepting fewer students and waitlisting more because of how upset people were last year about 0 (zero!) kids coming off the waitlist.
@jdecker9 me too! My account says the same thing in the award area
@faZed672 I donāt think thatās the finaid offer. Thatās just a scholarship in addition to your fin aid. I got a scholarship too but thatās not my financial aid

For those that were waitlisted, did you get anything that said about the number of people that applied and were accepted? My letter never indicated any numbersā¦
