Got into John Hopkins and waitlist at Washington University. Don’t understand
What do you not understand?
how he got accepted to JHU and wait listed at washu when the admission requirements are higher
rugby, WUSTL and JHU have similar admission standards. At that level, the decision is random, to a degree anyway.
anyway Son very happy!!
As well he should be. Your son’s acceptances are excellent.
Its getting close to the end and knowing what options he has. With what we know so far its going to be hard for him to pick.
Brandeis University accepted Honors scholarship
Cornell University
Dartmouth College
Duke U: All Undergrad
Emory University Accepted
Georgetown University Accepted
Johns Hopkins University Accepted
Northwestern University
Tufts University
Univ of Michigan Accepted
Univ of Pennsylvania Waitlisted
Washington University: St. Louis Waitlisted
Yale University
Univ Virginia Accepted
How do you already know waitlisted at Penn? Those decisions haven’t come out yet.
he did ED at Penn.
@rugby1 Then he would currently deferred. Waitlistings only occur after rd.
Some Ivy League schools respond earlier. My nephew received an acceptance from Cornell in mid March last year.
@Alexandre Then he probably got a likely letter. To be part of the Ivy League officially schools cannot released before an agreed upon date, which last year was March 31 and this year is March 30.
I understand it Thursday the 30th this year.
CathJR, it was an acceptance, and he received the acceptance letter (not likely letter), in mid March. I realize that is highly unusual since the Ivy League generally send out their decisions in large March, but I suppose their are exceptions.
@Alexandre Maybe there are loopholes but sending out actual decisions before Ivy day is supposed to void their Ivy contract or whatever it is.
So my post started with a choose between Michigan and Virginia, now with all the results in. He wants to see Hopkins and Georgetown.
rugby, in the initial post you wrote that your son wanted to study business or law. I think Georgetown, Michigan and UVa are better options than JHU.
McDonough, McIntire and Ross are three top 10 BBA programs, JHU does not have an established business program.
Georgetown, Michigan and UVa have T14 Law schools of their own, and those Law schools seem to give preference to applicants from their own respective colleges. Also, all three seem to be better represented at other top law schools than JHU.
His feeling about JHU is that its overall ranking is higher. We are going to Georgetown this week for their open house. Thank you for this feedback.
Rankings are not accurate to that level. All of those universities are ranked within 15 spots of each other, our of thousands of universities. That makes them peers. He should focus on cost of attendance, and if that is not a concern, then on academic and social fit.
