No news. And you’re right. None of us really thought it would get to this point, did we…

Not at all!
Honestly this year has been so weird. If we don’t here anything by tomorrow, I’m betting they are pulling a UCLA, waiting till September to close the waitlist and by than everyone would have already moved on.
Ahh please JHU don’t pull a UCLA!!
Another day gone…
What advantage would waiting until September give them over just closing it now? It’s not like anyone will accept a spot that late.
Agreed. I’ve got the feeling they’re leaning towards transfer options…

I hope they do end up giving the (apparently) few of us who’re on the extended waitlist an option to transfer… it doesn’t really make sense for them to just leave us here until September and then throw us away
Well another day goes by and still nothing, nothing at all. There move in date is Saturday, why wait the very last minute to chose to admit students, if they will have to go through the whole process again and possibly miss out on freshman orientation. While people are getting settled, we would have to still deal with the change.
How many do you reckon are still on the extended waitlist? I hope it’s currently below 50 because then they may appreciate the dedication we have towards the school. I’m aware that at the start the waiting list was an absurd number like 3600.

It honestly depends, I know they offered around 3600, but that doesn’t mean everyone accepted a place. I know some people declined there place after getting accepted in other schools. Also 5 months passed and as each day passed, less people stopped caring. Every time I look at different chat logs about waitlist, not many replies when it comes to JHU compared to other schools. People saying they didn’t turn in LOCI and don’t really care. Even with this extended waitlist not everyone accepted their place. Ik on discord people declined their place on it and used it as a way to move on. So who knows how many on still on the waitlist. Many people gave up, I feel this place is the only active place when it comes to waitlisted JHU. Other places, like reddit and discord kinda dried out. Especially after the extended waitlist came out while other schools either closed or took people off than closed. No one else is talking about the waitlist, since other schools started or about to start. And were the only waitlist open.

do you guys know if they’ve offered guaranteed transfer admission before?
That’s the issue. I dont think they have. Only Cornell really does it. We can only hope at this point.
Sorry to burst your bubble guys, but I actually reached out some time a short while ago this summer to ask about guaranteed transfer offers for the waitlist, and they said they don’t do guaranteed transfer for this spring or next fall and we would have to reapply.
Do they have a winter entry?
My AO said that the waitlist is only utilized for fall entry of the current year
. Good luck to you all

Welp then we wait for either any acceptances or rejections.
It’s so confusing. Logic tells me that this late in the game, we’ll probably all just be rejected, but then why didn’t they reject us already? Idk how true this may be, but maybe they’re deliberately taking so long as a way of filtering out who really really cares about their school enough to stay and wait it out.

Boy do I hope you’re right! I honestly feel that most people who weren’t committed to JHU have left by now, hopefully, those of us who are committed get some good news.
Hi everyone, there’s still hope! I had emailed gotojhu@jhu.edu about the waitlist and this was their response:
Hi,
Thank you for your email and continued interest in JHU. Students on our waitlist are still under consideration at this time and any updates or changes to their admissions status will be communicated to them via email.
Best,
