Johns Hopkins Class of 2020 RD Forum

It was mainly about that

I’m probably going to sleep for, like, 12 hours and wake up in time for the decisions…

@Grapess TBH I asked my mom earlier if I can take sleeping pills so I can sleep and wake up right before decisions are released :))
But she said no so I have no idea how Im going to deal with my nerves till 3!!

@itsesthery Nonetheless, JHU is still pretty competitive. Hence the reverse psychology strategy.

@itsesthery For reals though I don’t know what I’m going to do. I might just refresh every thread on CC & freak out even more

hi all. first reach school to hear back from. no hooks. cant construct sentences cuz my stomach butterflies are making my arms weak.
have mercy on us all.


I hope you will please reward yourselves tomorrow whether or not you are accepted, because getting a decision is not an achievement or a failure in itself. Really there’s no point in fretting. We should all celebrate that we did the work to get to this point.

XOXOXOXOXOXOOXOX

i should probably make a trip to safeway today to stock my fridge with ice cream for comfort

Ugh after being rejected from both UChicago and Northwestern I have little hope for JHU. :frowning:

Did any of you apply to the Woodrow Wilson Fellowship? Applying for that fellowship shouldn’t have any impact on the decision right?

@boulangerie Both UChic and NW are very very competitive schools so don’t get discouraged! :slight_smile: I got rejected from NW today also and haven’t been able to tell my mom about it yet. Really hoping I get admitted somewhere tomorrow ( I’d probably die from crying too much if I get admitted to Hopkins) haha

@itsesthery I applied! Yeah, from what I recall hearing from my interview, the fellowship application doesn’t have any bearing on the decision itself.

Yeah, it’s like a bloodbath of waitlists/rejections, haha. Hoping for the best, but kind of recognize that Hopkins is pretty competitive as well. Would be a nice break to the rejections though!

What time are decisions coming out?

@boulangerie Yep tomorrow is a big day for everyone. We never know until decisions come out so let’s all stay positive. Good luck to everyone!!! Hope to hear good news from all of you tomorrow :slight_smile:

@selectyour 3PM EST :slight_smile:

Rejection is much more difficult when you’ve become invested in that school, emotionally. Perhaps it is in everyone’s best interests to pay as little mind to these decisions as possible to keep from the inevitable disappointment. (Learned hard way after being rejected ED from Penn)

Guys I’m really freaking out… This is my top school and I both want my decision and don’t because I’m so worried about the outcome…

Hey @Grapess, here and Skidmore? Hope we both get in both.

I’ve been checking the portal since I woke up 5 hours ago. Anyone knows what time the results are out?

3:00 PM EST. About 13 hrs

Oh man. I feel like my inside is eating itself.

Accepted at Cal, Rejected by Northwestern. Little hope on JHU. Are there any international Students here with substantial financial need?
