I’m happy to do so.
nawt the taurus slander
first of all the usernamee I see you army second of all I love tauruses don’t get me wrongg but hopkinsnorth is giving me earthy energy
haha i agree. ugh i just wish hopkins lets us know asap. i didn’t even know that they rejected people like a week or two ago tho. i still haven’t heard back from them. should those who haven’t heard back take it as a good sign? idk cuz i don’t want to get my hopes up
Last year people got off the waitlist in August too. Does anybody know exact date?
a few people got off on the 18th of August! im not sure when orientation was last year but that’s pretty late honestly
hey guys so I sent an email to hopkins asking for a date when we’ll be notified about the status of the waitlist I got a response from one of these emails a while ago and I posted the emails I sent them and their responses on this thread a while ago and this is what I said:
to gotojhu, applyhelp, apphelp
Hello,
I hope you are doing well. I was wondering if you have an update on the waitlist? I am on the extended summer waitlist and a lot of people on it including myself are wondering when we will hear something from Hopkins? We are all planning on moving into the colleges we have committed to in a few days so we all just need to know when Hopkins is planning on notifying students on the waitlist.
Thank You
I also looked up what the portal could mean and this is what I got:
The 503 Service Unavailable error is an HTTP status code that means the website’s server is simply not available right now. Most of the time, it occurs because the server is too busy or because there’s maintenance being performed on it.
hey guys they just said that there’s no update on the waitlist and no update for when they might release another update- also I tried to the waitlist form which I used to do before and it would say thank you for choosing to remain on the waitlist but now it has that error message
Seems like they never think about waitlisted students until we message them:(
Bruh it’s so weird, no updates, no updates, and no updates. I don’t understand whats the point of keeping it open for this long if they still have no updates especially since there’s a week left before people start to move in. Everyone says it’s because of COVID but everywhere is dealing with COVID, why are they the only ones keeping it open.
yeah!! at this point it’s just inconsiderate most of us are leaving for school soon they need to say something even if its a no so we can move on and get ready to go to another school I wish I didn’t actually want to go so that I could send them like a really aggressive email but like what are they getting out of this like holding out for so long their move in starts next Friday? honestly it’s really off-putting like even if we do get off the administration would not be helpful at all in adjusting it looks like
do u think that they would accept people a week before school starts? or do u think that the error message on the portal is an indication that they’re not taking anyone off
They took people off on August 18th last year. I honestly think it’s a possibility that they will take people off, especially since they made the waitlist more selective.
I think it’s possible because of the reasons purple said but also because they’ve kept it open so long why keep it open through august if you’re not going to take people off? but their responses and the inactive portal are very discouraging either way I leave for college in less than a week and im sure you guys have to leave soon too so I would really like to know before then
many of waitlisted students refused staying on the summer waiting list. also, i heard there are some candidates who got rejected recently. what do you think the number of the remaining students is?
I don’t know about the exact number but this just goes to prove that the waitlist we’re currently on is truly a lot more selective than the one we were placed on in March.
Guys, I really really hope we hear something today and that it’s good news!!
AHH same! You are all really wonderful and kind people and I hope y’all know you guys are amazing. Here is a gold medal from me for just hanging in there, it’s hard but we can do it!
Does anyone wanna call them? (410) 516-8171
I’m in the car so I can’t but I haven’t heard anything today.
Another day with nothing.
Are they even taking phone calls?
