Iā€™ve been stalking/lurking this thread since March. Itā€™s been a wild ride so far, and I figured I should say something.

My thoughts on the drama above: Information regarding the waitlist tends to be depressingly (and annoyingly) hopeless. HopkinsNorth was genuinely trying to get us to move on to brighter prospects (second choice universities). But his ā€˜unemphatic professionalismā€™ tone combined with the same depressing information rubs some of us the wrong way. Which leads us to where we are now ā€” telling one another that theyā€™re ā€œnot important enough for anyone to lose sleep overā€ or that someone is here just to ā€œstroke his egoā€. These statements sound like something children would say. I know that weā€™re above petty quarrels. As teenagers entering the adult world, letā€™s do a better job at maintaining civility, respect, and dignity for one another.

My thoughts on the waitlist: I hope i get in lol. And I hope you guys get in, too! But if not, thereā€™s still a world out there to explore ā€” Hopkins acceptance or not.

Simply put, I have better things to do than to ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  applicants. I simply provided some insight (including exact reasons for the delay) and then immediately got insulted by her.

Do I take joy in seeing others suffer? nope; I would hope you, me, and others are better humans than that.

Hopkins can do a lot better when it comes to administrative stuff as many others have pointed out on here. If I were the school, I would have responded a lot faster.

ā€œYou are not important enough to for anyone anyone to lose sleep overā€ was pretty uncalled for in my opinion. Honestly I think your intentions were pure initially. But sometimes your intentions donā€™t matter when your impact has hurt people. But do what you want friend.

ok i really do genuinely hope you are a waitlist student but a part of me is just like convinced you are hopkinsnorthā€™s burner account you joined two hours ago and the only thing you have done is defend him :sob:

look man I was just being honest based off of the posts you made I genuinely donā€™t think you had good intentions they were rude, cold, and unnecessary. weā€™re all trying to figure this out and we all understand we might not go to hopkins and have to learn to love our second choice. but I want you to just think about this for a second you are (supposedly) a student at our dream school, and you come on to this form to be blunt and emphasize the disappointing things we all have heard in our lives when all this forum is supposed to be is a comforting place for us to talk about our experiences and share information and with every post you have shared you have tried to ruin that

now i donā€™t want to keep on fighting but I genuinely feel like you are kind of weird for this you have what we all want and canā€™t have and so you come on here to show it off while also rubbing it in our faces that we canā€™t have it? i think this is purely a psychological thing so please just leave us alone and focus on yourself unless you have some credible information to share or something helpful to say but I also still really want to know your zodiac sign pleaseee tell me

Iā€™ve given you a lot of factual insight to counter silence and delays on Hopkinsā€™ end. Where am I rubbing it in? I didnā€™t even say I went to Hopkins until I was asked. And no, Hopkins is a fine school but not all that. Anyone getting joy from others getting rejected is a sad individual. What is weird is continuously asking for someoneā€™s zodiac sign, however.

Gotta say, I never led with that. It was a response to an insult and accusation.

dude your name is hopkinsnorthā€¦also idc if itā€™s weird i want to know which sign to stay away from :face_with_raised_eyebrow: anyways i donā€™t really want to fight anymore itā€™s not just me other people have made posts about how you arenā€™t being as helpful as you think you are the best thing you can do for people you are trying to help is to just listen to them thatā€™s all i can say

I can kinda see where youā€™re coming from. But in all, I thought my statement was pretty neutral in that I implied that neither party should resort to insulting each other & that all should continue the discussion respectfully.

Thatā€™s great. Iā€™ve gotten PMs that my insights have been appreciated. My tone might have ended up being harsh due to your replies to me. Iā€™m only here to provide some light into what has been a tough and delayed process.

Good luck at wherever you end up (be it Hopkins or elsewhere) - honestly.

alright good luck to you too honestly I still donā€™t think you meant well but if you genuinely did mean well and communicated it horribly then sorry about that good luck wherever you go to college youā€™re a taurus arenā€™t you
