Hi everyone,
I didn’t see a thread so created this one for RD applicants!

Hey there! I had a pretty stupid question, does JHU give an applicant portal immediately after applying, or is all correspondence through email?
Hi @thatssickbruh. When daughter applied ED I about a day or so after she received an email to access their portal. On there you will have access to 2 Tabs. One for the normal Application checklist and the other for Financial Aid. Once decisions are made it will be updated.
Good luck if you are applying!
I did apply, and I just received my applicant portal too. Thank you 
Did she apply with SAT score? Mine applied and asked to have SAT considered, but the SAT status is not in his portal. Emailed admission to ask, but it’s been over a week, still no answer yet
No she did not. We are in California and they were cancelled 6 times so that was enough and we were NOT traveling to another state.

Why JHU portal is designed so plain?
did anyone here receive a likely letter? I saw someone on reddit got one.
I checked that I wanted to do the direct matriculation program and then I somehow didn’t realize I had to do a separate application to that so I still haven’t done it. Does anyone know if I’ll still get an admissions decision?
@yagirl932 No, no likely letter here.
Does JH really send likely letters? Decision date is March 19th based on what the portal indicates.
Yes, they do, but I believe Hopkins only sends likely letters to athletes and URMs. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong because I’m not really familiar with Hopkins admissions.
@riverandsasha3 Please, what does URM mean?
URM stands for underrepresented minority, which is an umbrella term that usually encompasses Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, and/or Native American students.

@riverandsasha3 Thanks for explaining. I live abroad so I am not so familiar with acronyms.
No problem! It took me a while to figure out all of the acronyms too. Still learning while I go haha.
what are your stats? did anyone also applied to combined public health program?
Does anyone know if Johns Hopkins is more open to certain majors over others? I’m applying for Political Science but I am not sure if they are willing to be more lenient compared to applicants who are gunning for BME or Pre-Med
We did. have not heard back.
