<p>i should add.. accepted w/ bloomberg scholarship, 20k per year.
jhu is 10 minutes away from home..... do we have to live on campus?
i'll probably end up at jhu or gtown cuz my top 3 choices ALL waitlisted me... w. t. f.</p>
<p>sorry to be rude, but could someone please answer my question. I'm a little nervous because I haven't received an email from jhu and dont know how to check my decision. If someone could let me know how u got the decision, it would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>keynes - why don't you call them up because i didn't get my email for the ED round on the day everyone else got it. So i called the next day and told them i didn't get my decision and they told me over the phone. Gladly, i was accepted.</p>
<p>don't worry...i had the same problem, and called them and they said it was probably just a spam blocker...and i ended up getting the decision in the mail that day (faster for me b/c i live in b-more)... don't worry it doesn't depend at all on if you got accepted or rejected :-)</p>
