<p>Has anyone received an email from the department you applied to at JHU?</p>
<p>Mine started with: "The admissions office has notified me that you have submitted a particularly strong application, and that you were interested in our department.." </p>
<p>In the body the professor kept repeating "if everything works out" (referring to my admissions decision), but I am hopeful nonetheless. If this is standard admissions contact emails, I'm gonna be mad.</p>
<p>That sounds like a likely letter to me! I don't think they'd bother communicating with likely rejects! I'd say you're probably in (not definite, though, because it didn't come directly to you from admissions). I received a similar e-mail from U Chicago a while back, and I considered it a good sign. I haven't heard from JHU, though. Congrats! :)</p>
<p>well, you're definitely in. but if you don't mind my asking, which department did you recieve that from? i wonder if only that department (or only some) send out letters like that.</p>
