JHU Class of 2015 RD Wait Discussion

<p>AKA the "We're all doomed!" thread.</p>

<p>Now as many are finishing their applications, let's pass the time to March 31.</p>

<p>Just finished and submitted supplement 4 minutes before the new year. I can’t wait till the 31st. Good Luck All!!!</p>

<p>Submitted 3 days ago. Hoping for the best, really want to go to JHU!</p>

<p>The day after I submitted my application, I got really paranoid and checked my supplements just to make sure I didn’t spell Johns Hopkins incorrectly. Everything was fine. :)</p>

<p>When and how does jhu notify? Email? There is no website to check, correct? And when?</p>

<p>Usually email and the website says “Before April 1”</p>

<p>Eh, not too worried about my JHU decision, more worried about other colleges right now.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Cool story bro.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yours is too.</p>

<p>got really paranoid about JOHNS HOPKINS spelling throughout my supplement. ><</p>

<p>So I procrastinate a lot… I submitted my app at 11:59 on the 1st</p>

<p>I wonder if the applications went up or down? Guesses?</p>

<p>It went up. This came out today: [Hopkins</a> Insider It is 2011, and that means more FAQs](<a href=“http://blogs.hopkins-interactive.com/blog/2011/01/it-is-2011-and-that-means-more-faqs/]Hopkins”>http://blogs.hopkins-interactive.com/blog/2011/01/it-is-2011-and-that-means-more-faqs/)</p>

<p>“this will be the largest applicant pool in Johns Hopkins history and we have seen an increase for the ninth straight year.”</p>

<p>

We know it’s up. The question now is by how much? I say 10-20% and the overal admission rate for this cycle will be 15-20% with 17% being the most likely number.</p>

<p>I applied and it is one of my top school. I hope for good news in April, seriously. I loved the campus and everything else.</p>

<p>well…I love Johns Hopkins, but the problem is they have to like me to…</p>

<p>I thought yall might want to know, I found out I was accepted a few days ago, and I was told by a coach that there were 26,000 applicants this year. I thought that seemed impractical seeing as last year there were only ~17,000 but that is what was said so take it for what it is worth.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That would drop JHU down to 15%, which would make the school look quite a bit better. Such a jump in applications is uncommon but not unprecedented. I think that only a few years ago UChicago admitted nearly 40% of applicants, now it’s down to about 20%.</p>

<p>26000 seems to be too high. Last year’s number was 18,455. That’s a 40.8% increase.</p>

<p>yeah - 26,000 cannot be right.</p>

<p>I assume it’s in the 19-21K range.</p>

<p>No, it’s not impossible for there to be a 40% increase, but it is quite unlikely. Chicago’s apps went up by 42% one year. </p>
