<p>I really really want to go to JHU, and I sent in a waitlist letter and an additional recommendation, and I re took the SAT and plan to have scores submitted to JHU on May 21st.</p>
<p>I still want to get of the waitlist so would it be possible to send another letter about my interest?</p>
<p>I know the deadline for all waitlist material was may 1st, but I emailed JHU and it said that it woukld accept my sat scores, so wouldn't it accept my extra letter?</p>
<p>admissionsdaniel- - I thank you ahead of time.</p>
<p>With 1000 students on the waitlist, something seems wrong allowing a student to come in with a new SAT score. Sorry, nothing personal, but everyone else had to get their SAT in on time. It seems that you are taking an unfair advantage over the rest of the students. </p>
<p>Also, if you can’t even get the SAT on time, wouldn’t that make you a a poor candidate for this caliber of school? Something just seems wrong about this whole thing. Again, nothing personal. But EVERYONE of the waitlist wants to get in…</p>
<p>kudos for taking the SAT again…it shows jhu how dedicated and committed you are to attending. it’s all about separating yourself from the other waitlist candidates…show jhu that you belong there.</p>
<p>Hey, like I said, nothing personal. Harvard rejected Warren Buffett, John Kerry, Ted Turner, Tom Brokaw, Sun Microsystems co-founder Scott McNealy, Columbia University President Lee Bollinger, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center CEO and President Harold Varmus, Meredith Vierira, Art Garfunkel, Jann Wenner and New Yorker Editor and Pulitzer Prize winner David Remnick. So, no one says these schools don’t make mistakes. </p>
<p>I guess this is one of those “flexible” rules that people will be able to pass on to next year’s group.</p>
<p>@lagunal–How does the list of Harvard rejects even apply to this thread? Personally, I don’t understand how the capability of a school to make “mistakes” is applicable in this discussion!</p>
<p>And this isn’t one of the so-called “flexible” rules, as the OP emailed the institution and got their clearance before sending in the SAT results.</p>
<p>@OP–I think it’s great to send an extra letter to JHU. Whether they’ll read it or throw it into the shredder is up to them, but it’s always good to show that you care enough about the college or university by making that extra effort! As MITpwnsnoobs69 said, “it’s all about separating yourself from the other waitlist candidates”!</p>
<p>Good luck with the waitlist, and hopefully I’ll see you Orientation Week come Fall!</p>
<p>Do not send a second letter for two reasons: (1) you already sent a letter and (2) it is way past the May 1 deadline. </p>

<p>Let me clear up this issue. Our policy is to allow wait listed students to submit any new information they choose with out restrictions. That includes new test scores if the students chose to take tests again. Even though we allow students to submit anything they want as a wait list update, it does not mean we will review that information.</p>
