Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I think I showed a lot of interest in my particular major with the activities that I did, such as with research internships and engineering competitions.
I’ve gotten into all my schools aside from Hopkins so far, but this was my first reach aka under 20% acceptance rate school to hear back from. Now I’m nervous for the other 6 (Bowdoin is in a few hours).
Who spells their first name with an ‘s’ at the end anyways?
@yalebound2020 yep! It’ll be my only source of happiness
Congrats to everyone that got in, you’re really lucky :^)

ACCEPTED. Stats aren’t everything. I’m unhooked, white male with a 33 superscored ACT. This is amazing and AMAZING Financial Aid.
After receiving a waitlist from Wash U, rejection from UChicago (they waitlisted most people), and rejection from Northwestern, I thought I can’t get into any elite schools.
sorry if this is hard to read, i can’t form real sentences lololol. YAYAYAYAY
If you got rejected – don’t worry it means nothing. I got rejected from NU and Uchicago even though UC waitlisted like everyone.
If waitlisted – idk
If accepted – congrats.
I got in guys. I’m so excited, I was not expecting this!!!
Accepted. Literally cried in front of my laptop. It has been a long wait, but JHU 2020!!!
ACCEPTED w/Hodson-Gilliam Scholarship!!
Accepted! Also wow JHU’s financial aid package was very generous, what a pleasant surprise
Ah. The sweet smell of rejection.
I kind of expected it since my stats are not competitive enough.
Congrats to everyone who got in! I didn’t get accepted, but I didn’t expect to either.
