I agree we should still have a little hope, even though it’s hard when every time you comment Jhu in a different thread people start to assume the class is full. Based on what you described and the emails that we received that’s probably the case very few people might get taken off the waitlist, most likely for the least popular majors it was great meeting all of you and still pushing forward. I believe we’re finally reaching the end based on a admitted student stating they will be given their dorms next week on 23rd. So this Friday might be when we finally know what’s going on. Unless they pull a Stanford and keep it going with an extended waitlist. Quick question do you think they will consider people’s second choice when we picked what major we wanted to do? For my first one I picked Neuroscience, which seems to be a popular major. But my second one I picked Mechanical engineering. I’m wondering if the waitlist is based off of majors or if they like your application. Because on other college waitlist post some people got picked for their second major. So I’m wondering how that works.
Regarding the dorm assignments. Parents received the biweekly newsletter and it stated the following. So perhaps they may get closer to notifying WL students.
“ Housing Update
Please ensure your student is monitoring their email, as housing assignments will be sent to students later this week.”
Hi! Hopkins does not factor major into admissions at all, unless you’re BME. There’s not a known strict cutoff for # of people in a major except for BME, and a large chunk of the incoming class ends up declaring a major different than what they applied as anyway.
Guys I received an email from Johns Hopkins, they’re apparently creating another summer waitlist and wanted me to respond to it i.e. accept or decline a spot on it. Did any of you also receive an email?
me too. But don’t know what it rly means
Yes, I received the extended summer waitlist email as well. Did they reject anyone?
no idea but I don’t like how they’re lingering the decision so much. It really is putting us in a difficult spot.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it doesn’t look like they rejected anyone; however, they may be reevaluating interest this way. Is everyone staying on?
Yeah doesn’t look like they rejected anyone
I got the same email. Is this extended summer waitlist for the class of 2026?
No, it’s for the class of 2025
Now that you mention that though, does anyone think there’s a chance they’ll offer class if 2026 admission to anyone eventually? I’ve heard some schools do this - not sure if JHU does though.
They might have done what Stanford has done, by giving the extended waitlist to students from the U.S, while rejecting international. But I’m might be wrong ( don’t hesitate to correct me if I’m wrong)
If this is the case, it would make sense. As it is though, I feel like this is their way to giving people an update since so many people have been emailing them, while also reevaluating interest. The one AO did say that they may take a few people off so hopefully, they do!!
Hey everyone. JHU just sent an invitation concerning an extended summer waitlist, so if you’re still interested in attending, be on the lookout for that. Good luck to everyone and your choices of college. Regardless of whether we attend JHU or not, we’ll be great 
I got the same email and I’m international
I didn’t get the email about the extended waitlist. However, they also didn’t send me anything telling me I’m rejected. I’m assuming I’m not getting in I just thought it was weird they didn’t send me anything either way.
Maybe it’ll come later today? Also, I think it’s weird too; I wish they would communicate more.
It upsets me so much that after all this waiting they pretty much are just stringing everyone along for even longer. There is absolutely no reason they would need so many people on an extended waitlist, especially at this late stage. And what’s the point of an extended waitlist if it’s the exact same as the original waitlist?
As much as I hate Hopkins at this point, I will stay on the waitlist. Having waited 3 months already, what’s another?
i didn’t get one either for some reason it didn’t come up in my inbox i had to search for it for the email to come up so make sure to like look in your junk folder of search it up in case you do want to stay on
