<p>Anybody know how many people are waitlisted and how many students JHU has accepted off the waitlist in recent years?</p>
<p>I have the same question, anyone know where we might find some info?</p>
<p>B U M P...I would like to know too!</p>
<p>Word to the BUMP</p>
<p>last year noone got in off the waitlist, due to the fact that they overenrolled.</p>
<p>hopefully its not the same case this year.</p>
<p>Well sfgiants sent me this... </p>
<p>Qualified applicants placed on waiting list: 1,612
Applicants accepting a place on waiting list: 610
Students enrolled from waiting list: 126</p>
<p>From US News and World Report</p>
<p>For all I know he could have made up the numbers.</p>
<p>I'm not putting my chances of being accepted off the waitlist as being too good. Better to just move on</p>
<p>I definitely agree with you, celebrian. I can't let this thing drag on for months and keep me on edge. I need some closure with this admissions process already; it's just time to move on.</p>
<p>Those numbers are definately not from last year. Last year, we were overenrolled for my class and the waitlist was not used. I don't know about previous years, but 126 accepted from the waitlist seems extremely high - that would mean that a full 10% of the incoming class was from the waitlist</p>
<p>OK, some wait list information:</p>
<p>First, stats for this year's admission cycle will be posted on the Hopkins Insider Blog next week and will include waitlist information.</p>
<p>Second, the stats quoted in "goodnight"'s post are from two years ago -- last year no one was admitted from the wait list as tanman stated. The last number should read students "admitted from the wait list," not enrolled. We admitted 126 and enrolled I believe about 60-65. </p>
<p>And finally, some official response:
To remain on the wait list we ask that you complete and fill out the blue postcard that will be included with your decision letter. You may also send any other updates you would like added to your file when you send back the postcard. Since you are unable to meet one-on-one, we ask that you put any information or updates in a written letter that can be added to your application file.</p>
<p>It is impossible at this time to predict any individual's chances of being admitted from the waitlist. Admission will depend on how many admitted students accept their offer from Hopkins, how many students send in their waitlist reply cards, and a number of other factors. We may admit students from the waitlist as early as April 30although that hasn't happened in recent yearsor as late as June 15, or not at all. We recommend that you submit your deposit to a school where you have been accepted. If you are later admitted to Hopkins from the waitlist and plan to attend, you should withdraw your enrollment from that other school and be prepared to forfeit your deposit.</p>
<p>You are welcome to visit Hopkins in April, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. You can take a guided tour, attend a group information session, and sit in on a class. We regret that we are unable to accommodate overnight guests in April except admitted students attending the Open House programs. Open House programs are also for admitted students only.</p>
<p>Hope this information is helpful.</p>
<p>Very helpful. Now I see everything I have to do and though the chances are slim to none, I still try to get in.</p>
<p>However, with this renewed enthusiasm, some other questions come to mind:</p>
<p>First of all, if accepted applicants do rescind their offers to Hopkins, will all the 1600 or so (2004 waitlist number) waitlisted applicants be reexamined to fill available spots or is there a ranked list where the higher ranked individuals are bumped to the accepted position?</p>
<p>Secondly, I am confused on the campus visits:
The campus visit AdmissionDaniel suggested is very appealing and I am planning to come to Hopkins. However, I am confused on what type of visit it is. Is it a:
"Guided Tours and Information Sessions": "guided tours at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on most weekdays, followed by information sessions at 11:15 a.m. and 2:15 p.m." available April 3-4, 6-10, 12-17 (the days I may be able to attend)
or
"Day Visits": the time frame AdmissionDaniel said (Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) seems to fit this type of visit. The discrepancy with this of visit is that "Spring Day Visits are for admitted students ONLY and occur throughout the month of April."</p>
<p>I am not sure which type of visit to request, when to schedule my visit, and whether to have an appointment or not due to my unawareness.</p>
<p>Lastly, what type of supplemental information do admission officers prefer to better recognize the accomplishments of an applicant. I plan to send in a letter and an updated copy of transcript. I want to send in more, but at the same time not burden and bore the officer. What do you guys think?</p>
<p>Any input will be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>^^oops, I meant to say in the post above:</p>
<p>"Lastly, what type of supplemental information do admission officers prefer to better recognize the accomplishments of an applicant. I plan to send in a letter and an updated copy of <em>resume</em>"(not transcript)</p>
<p>Only waitlisted students who submit their blue postcard and select to remain on the waitlist will be reviewed if spots open.</p>
<p>Day and Overnight Visit programs are reserved for admitted students only. Waitlisted students can visit campus on weekdays in April and take tours, information sessions, or sit in on classes. Tours are at 10am and 1pm, sessions at 11:15am and 2:15pm. No interviews or personalized visits will be arranged for waitlisted students.</p>
<p>No limits on what updates you can send in. Typically, a letter, most recent grades, updated resume, and one or two letters of recommendation are OK.</p>
