biganthony · December 15, 2010, 8:04pm

so does being rejected at ED pretty much say: wow you suck?

C0mputer5cience · December 15, 2010, 8:06pm

Nah it doesn’t means you suck.
Get hopes high on other colleges.

WealthOfInformation · December 15, 2010, 8:11pm

Rejected ED just means you have time to think about other colleges and move on from Hopkins. I think a deferral is harder actually… waiting is too hard.

goddagotocollege · December 15, 2010, 8:32pm

Congratulations to those who got accepted
i didnt get in…but w/e…i moved on

General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations, etc:
Congrats to everyone who was admitted! And to those who werent, just remember that everything always works out how it should. Hopkins may not have been the place for you, and you’ll find a school you’re truly happy at :)

Also, I would just like to say that when i posted my stats on CC (on a different account) everyone told me I didn’t have a chance because of my grades and scores. Glad I proved them wrong! It just goes to show that Johns Hopkins really does give a holistic review, and numbers aren’t all that matter.

Kyuu · December 16, 2010, 4:04am

@pqrrrqjjjqq - don’t feel bad. The ED admissions rates have been dropping every year (39% now), and people are more likely to comment if they’ve been accepted. You’re in the majority of disappointed students, but since you were deferred, don’t give up hope until no hope is left.

'Grats to you '15ers. Boy do y’all make me feel old, haha.

BlueJayBJ · December 16, 2010, 4:30am

Grander welcome to the JHU EAS =) I’m sure you’ll be pleased with what you fine and do try out the new exchange with 東大 when you get the chance.

pqrrrqjjjqq · December 16, 2010, 5:32am

@Kyuu i guess i understand, its just hard to be mature and accept it… i guess it was just not my day

anyways grats to everyone else!

Grander · December 16, 2010, 7:29am

Bluejay BJ- Thank you so much! I will most definitely be looking towards Toudai for study abroad. I AM SO EXCITED! And your insight on the program helped a lot, thanks so much! Do you mind if I contact you if I have more questions? :)
