I am applying for transfer
same here. did anyone get any notification about whether the materials are complete?
@sssss123123 I haven’t gotten any notifications. I didn’t even see a place with an application checklist or anything of the sort.
@IvyBound511 @sssss123123 What year are you applying to/what program?
I am a first-year international student applying from UNC-Chapel Hill! Loving Cognitive Science major at JHU since UNC does not offer one
First year applying for neuroscience! @ireadtoomuch
im applying to the college @ireadtoomuch
Just got an email from Johns Hopkins saying that transfer admission decisions will be released on Thursday, May 16, 2019, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern just so you guys know!
I am also applying for neuroscience!! Just received the same email about the admission decisions for transfers!! Can’t come fast enough!
I’m applying for psychology. I feel like we’re all applying to similar majors…I’m interested to see what will happen as far as decisions go!
Applying for econ. Hoping for hopkins, spent the majority of time on hopkins essays.

Former professional racer in high school. As a result, 2.99 HS GPA and low ACT score. Hopefully they place minimal emphasis on my high school academics.
Spent the majority of my time on Hopkins essays and articulating why & how I could contribute to Hopkins & Baltimore culture in general. Talked about Blue Jay racing, working with THREAD organization, wanting to do research with Professor Hanke after meeting him, and how my previous background helped me prepare for college.
Also applying to:
JHU
BC
USC
UVA
UNC - CH
Vandy
Cornell

Second year applicant from NC State here haha!
Immigrant in-state student at a Maryland community college. 3.3 college GPA, psych major, in an honors program at my school. My high school achievements weren’t all that impressive so this school is definitely a long-shot for me. Good luck everyone
Their freshman class is apparently becoming bigger than expected. Might be expecting an even lower class of transfer ?.
Hey everyone. I’m a transfer applicant to JHU also. I emailed JHU yesterday requesting an early read because the deposit for the school I got accepted to has their deadline set on May 15th. JHU responded back to me this morning saying their decisions for transfer applicants will be released on May 16th, and that they can’t release any application decisions before this date. Welp…
@hoothoot5 that’s good to know. I also am in a similar position - was hoping to leverage my 15th deadline for early read.
Really unfortunate decisions are a full week later than last year.
I’m so nervous about decisions… JHU is my top choice. How competitive is their political science program?
good luck
