Official Johns Hopkins 2012 Transfer Thread

<p>Hi, I applied as a junior as well. did you guys apply for FA? I did. I am international and my friend who transferred to jhu last year told me that she didnt apply for financial aid. Does it matter whether applying FA or not? I am worried that applying FA would decrease my chance of getting in. any thoughts?</p>

<p>I read that if you applied for transfer and FA and were accepted, you’ll only received enough AID until your Junior year; after that, you’re on your own.</p>

<p>Admission Office said 1st batch of decisions will go out next Tuesday May 15. The 2nd batch will be sometime after that; sometime near the end of May.</p>

<p>Hey does anyone know how Hopkins/Wesleyan/Dartmouth compare in terms of transfer rates and the type of students they accept as transfers? I’m just trying to gauge my chances based off my other results…I was waitlisted at Dartmouth and accepted to Wesleyan…and I know Hopkins falls somewhere in between but it seems like they look for very students who are very specific/sure about their major/goals (I’m not sure this was clear on my application)…or maybe that’s just some false notion I picked up from god knows where…</p>

<p>and perhaps it’s silly for me to pose this question anyways as the decision should come out fairly soon, hopefully</p>

<p>I called the JHU U-grad Admissions Dept. a few hours ago and the admissions officer said that there is no official release date for the results. She only said that they’d be released in the next few weeks.</p>

<p>Rejected. It’s okay, I’m perfectly content with attending Vanderbilt with full aid. Good luck to the rest of you guys!</p>

<p>Rejected by email today. I am going to Cornell instead(I preferred JHU though). </p>

<p>Good luck, everybody.</p>

<p>I got in…I applied as a Mechanical Engineering student from Miami. I don’t know whether I should go or not. Does anyone have any info for me regarding why its such a good school??? Sorry for being kinda lost, I was more focused on other schools and applied to JHU because I knew it’d be a great alternative.</p>

<p>stats guys, for future classes? thanks in advance!</p>

<p>also, if possible, please mention FA package! JHU is supposedly stingy when it comes to transfers…would be nice to have some data!</p>

<p>-got in, err but no idea whether the arts&sciences or the engineering.
-didn’t get FA.
-also got in to cornell, brown, dartmouth u-penn so prob wont go to jhu</p>

<p>3.8 GPA as college Sophomore
Webmaster for my colleges SHPE (Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers)
100+ Community Service hours
1340 SAT
770 SAT Physics Subject
750 SAT Math II Subject
6.2 HS GPA</p>

<p>Idk what else…</p>

<p>Accepted, but I was taken aback by this: “University housing is not an option for transfer juniors due to lack of availability.” One of JHU’s biggest draws was the awesome graduate-style on-campus upperclassmen housing apartments (most importantly: with 24/7 security). </p>

<p>The idea of having to fend for myself in an off-campus apartment during my first year in a city with one of the highest crime rates in the nation is scary.</p>

<p>Calligraphy said: “I read that if you applied for transfer and FA and were accepted, you’ll only received enough AID until your Junior year; after that, you’re on your own.”</p>

<p>Anyone know if this is true?</p>
