Guys!! I never requested an interview for JHU!!! How screwed am I? :-SS
@anxiouswreck , JHU doesn’t really use interviews much for admissions. They are “informative more than evaluative” according to an AO and are often conducted by students to answer your questions. My D did not interview and was accepted. Good luck!
I’ve already accepted my fate. Not a single person from my school has gotten in over the past 5+ years so rip
I requested an interview when I applied and was contacted about two months later. The guy who did it was an alumnus who was very nice. He told me it was less used for admissions and more for my benefit in gaining knowledge. So I wouldn’t be too worried if you didn’t do/get one
My interviewer really got my hopes up, but I took what she said with a 1/4 of a grain of salt: “I don’t see why you wouldn’t be admitted”
Lol, expecting a rejection, but hoping for an acceptance just like everyone else. While I know I’d do well in the JHU environment, I’d honesly be shocked if admitted.
Good luck to everyone!
We’re so close to decisions! I honestly don’t think I’m going to get in with my low test scores (1310 on SAT and no subject tests- I didn’t know I could get testing accommodations until like last month). Everything else I strong though! We’ll see Friday. Good luck everyone!!
@edszebra you honestly never know! but same…I don’t think I’m going to get in because of my financial aid jazz lol
College is what we make of it so even if we get rejected, I truly believe we will end up attending an amazing institution. Good luck to you too!
@yayaylearner I had issues with Financial Aid too!! Hopkins said they didn’t get my non-tax filer’s statement form even though it’s showing up as processed and received on the IDOC. All my other schools got it. I resubmitted it but it might be too late. Thanks for the positive response. Honestly all I care about at this point are USC and UCSD. Good luck to you too!
@yayaylearner what is the financial aid jazz? And dont worry, you got this!
@Lemonade22 the fact that I sent in my financial aid stuff in December or so, but even up to this day, their statuses are “Awaiting”…emailed JHU twice - the first time, they said there were delays, but the second time which was not too long ago didn’t even get a reply 
@yayaylearner they are probably swamped as hell right now don’t worry about it. Hey, it could even be that they are worried about their yield and they aren’t sure they can snag you?
Is not getting an interview a bad sign, or is it really based on availability?
@Lemonade22 
I actually like that optimistic view. You know what, I’m just going to be optimistic and think that there’s a major delay atm. Thanks for the comforting words.
Omg I though I was the only one that had issues with JHU FA! They said they didn’t get my W-2, but it was uploaded in like September, lol?? I emailed them about it and they were like “oop, there it is.” :-?
@yayaylearner I was emailed 3 times, asking me to upload something I’d already uploaded but from Peurto Rico (where I do NOT live). I finally called and talked to my financial aid officer, who said she’d already done my stuff and it was a glitch. shrug I would not be surprised if yours is too.
@anxiouswreck that’s great! urghhhh I just hope they weren’t able to get to my email yet or something
@FourYearsornot It’s based on availability. Don’t worry too much about it! I know many of my friends who got in without an interview.
@Islands62 but I wasn’t the one who received emails lolol but I hope so! Fingers crossed!! Thank you so much for comforting me 
man I love the people on this thread 
I’m having the worst time with JHU’s financial aid. I’ve tried uploading the tax return on the IDOC three times and after calling the college board the same amount of times I still can’t send it in :\
does anyone know how badly this can affect my financial aid? fin_aid@jhu is very very late at replying to my emails too :’(
I requested an interview but never got one.
