I haven’t seen a thread for Johns Hopkins University’s HOME program so I decided to make one. I just submitted my application today.
Good luck to everyone applying! 
does anyone know the acceptance rate for this? good luck all!
I also submitted my application yesterday! I’m not sure about the acceptance rate but I do know that many people last year were notified if they got accepted or not by the end of the month.
On the Common App under fee waivers there is an option for HOME! So I’m guessing participants get to save $70 there
i was at johns hopkins the other day, and my tour guide actually participated in the HOME program. after the tour was over, i personally asked him questions about it, and he told me that it’s not crazy selective!! lol
Hey guys they just sent me an email: I got accepted to the program! Good luck to all who are applying!!
@BioRocksMySocks Congrats! Since we applied on the same day I hope I will hear back soon
“The HOME Team is working hard to review all of the applications we’ve received. We aim to have all decisions sent out via email by the end of September.”
The end of September is only two weeks before HOME so I’m hoping decisions come out sooner. I wonder if my decision is taking longer because my travel costs would be high since I’m on the West Coast.
I’m sorry that you still have to wait. I am from the East Coast, so it would make sense that your decision might be taking longer due to travel expenses. Hope you get good news soon!
Oh boy, I applied late July and haven’t heard anything yet either-really nervous now haha:), but I live in Texas so maybe thats why?
I applied on august 1 and I haven’t heard anything either. I live in VA so I’m not sure what the processes is on notifying people on their admissions status
is HOME only open to “African American or black, Latinx/Hispanic, Native American, and multiracial high school seniors”?
I heard back. Check all your inbox folders (promotions, social, spam) in case its hidden in one of those.
Rolling admissions?.. has anyone received any communication from JHU relative to their HOME decision?
I have not after I was accepted. I did sent in all of my required travel/contact paperwork though. I suspect they’ll give us more information a week or two before the program starts
Thanks for the update @BioRocksMySocks
I still have not-(cri) has anyone else? What should we be looking for?
i havent received any updates from JHU either…I submitted my app ~8/15.
Havent heard anything either and I submitted 8/15. My friend submitted his and got accepted 2 days later. 
@MaybeHarvard2022
Did your friend submit his application before you (8/15) or after?
