<p>congratulations!! :slight_smile: I thought JHU didn’t send LLs… but I guess this class is special!</p>

42

<p>What’s a likely letter?</p>

43

<p>[Let</a> me google that for you](<a href=“LMGTFY - Let Me Google That For You”>LMGTFY - Let Me Google That For You)</p>

44

<p>Thanks for the link. No offense, that was a little rude. I don’t live every second on CC - in fact, I seem to remember you writing several screeds against doing so - and so I’ve never come across the term. At least now I’ve gotten a picture of what reaching out for help at JHU would be like.</p>

45

<p>Opensesame… I think if anyone has the right to be rude, it’s AdmissionsDan… I also happen to think your post trumps his in rudeness. Had you looked but 3 threads down you would have seen a thread about likely letters…</p>

<p>“I’ve never come across the term. At least now I’ve gotten a picture of what reaching out for help at JHU would be like.”</p>

<p>If anything help at JHU is superb… The fact that AdmissionsDan takes time off his busy schedule should tell you something about the sort of help they provide</p>

<p>I’m sure he had no intention of being rude. Actually, next time, maybe you should try googling it yourself before posting it on a thread. A question like that can easily be answered by another source as it is not a subjective question. Also, as Zap pointed out, the thread you were looking for was right near the one you posted on…</p>

47

<p>@opensesame: AdmissionD does not deserve your remark ‘a little rude’. He is one of very very very few extremely helpful school reps in this amazing website - a God-send. You really should have spent a bit more time here before calling anybody rude… </p>

<p>Also, here is my tip: whenever I have q’s, I click ‘» CC HOME’ on the top lefthand corner. I type in my q’s, and answers are all there. That way, you don’t even have to go to google. :)</p>

48

<p>Wait when do decisions become available? aka death</p>

My apologies if you thought my response was rude as that was not my attention at all. I use the “let me google that for you” site all the time as a tongue-in-cheek joke and most of my friends find it quite humorous. As well, by googling the question you get a variety of responses so you can gain a more thorough response to your question. I would have shared a post where I defined “likely letters” but I have never posted such a comment on College Confidential before and felt a quick google search could provide you with the information you requsted.</p>

50

<p>^^ when do the decisions come out ? Date and time ?</p>

51

<p>^ I’d like to know also.</p>

52

<p>He’s not going to answer that question. You’ll have to wait until the official date release.</p>

53

<p>Any idea how difficult it is for international students to get financial aid?</p>

54

<p>Pretty difficult. We only fund about 10% of international students requesting financial aid. Our admissions process is need-blind for all applicants aside from international students. Further details can be found here:
[Johns</a> Hopkins University Office of Undergraduate Admissions - Apply - Frequently Asked Questions - International](<a href=“http://apply.jhu.edu/apply/faq_international.html]Johns”>http://apply.jhu.edu/apply/faq_international.html)</p>

56

<p>According to the Johns Hopkins Common Data Set for 2009-2010, only 27 undergraduate International Students received any form of financial aid.

<p>Check section H6.</p>

57

<p>If we didn’t get a likely letter, does that mean that we’re pretty much rejected?</p>

58

<p>only a minority of accepted students receive a likely letter so don’t freak out just yet :)</p>

59

<p>What is the percentage of students that were accepted after being deferred ED? I’m super nervous!</p>

60

<p>I don’t know but I’m pumped for tomorrow. Hopefully it’ll get to me before I have to go out tomorrow night!</p>
