@Cestlavie1919 Nope, that’s not mandatory! That area of the common app is mostly if you have any unique situations/concerns/explanations that you need to explain that aren’t on your common app. If you don’t have anything pressing to add, then it’s totally okay to leave it blank.
Congrats on being done with your app then!
RD Mechanical Engineering applicant(:
@Cestlavie1919 what personal statement?
@chubii I applied for the medicine, sciences, and humanities major too!
@Happiness365 yeeyyy!!! I thought it was a super cool major haha
anyone not get an email confirming the application was sent? from west coast if it makes a difference
BME applicant leggggooooo
Does hopkins have a status portal?
@wuefhwrfh I didn’t yet, hoping it’ll come soon though
I got an email that said thank you for submitting your application to Johns Hopkins the day after I submitted my application (submitted January 3)
And I live in California
I applied Jan 4 and I haven’t gotten an email either
I applied on 1/2/16 and haven’t received an email from JHU either, but my CommonApp definitely went through.
actually, I received an email Jan 5 confirming my application but it was in my spam folder… so check there!
Sociology major here
I didn’t send SAT2s because i scored sub-700 on both and they don’t require.
Did anyone else not submit?
@hsalem32 potential engineering student over here(: I only submitted 1! I actully only ever took one… WIshing now that I had attempted a 2nd
@hsalem32 @swimfast11 If the SAT2 score is going to help your case (say, 750+), you should submit it. Otherwise, IMHO, it would be to your advantage not to send in the sub-700 score, especially at a competitive school like Hopkins. Obviously, you need to have other strong credentials to carry your application forward.
@Emotive Welp too late for me for my Bio-molec Sat II :(( already submitted that >.>
@Emotive I just submitted my 770 Math Level2… hoping I won’t be penalized for only sending one…
@swimfast11 Hopkins’ Admissions website indicates that the absence of SAT 2 scores does not negatively impact the applicant. I take it to mean that you are not going to lose “points” for not sending a decent second score, but you are not going to get any “bonus points” either for that missing score. Hopefully, you get to balance that with other “point-worthy” accomplishments that you have reported in your application.
Like you, my D only submitted one SAT 2 score, Math II.
@swimfast11 RD mechanical engineering applicant here too!
Did anyone here request an interview? I’m wondering if it’s worth it to request one or not! (Will it actually help boost your application if the interview is request-only?)
