<p>When? sometime soon? after May 15th? after May 31st?</p>
<p>unfortunately i'm taking my spot so there's one less waitlist person getting in :(...</p>
<p>good luck to you hope to see you next year!</p>
<p>my friend works in the admissions office as a tour guide/open house coordinator, she said they said they don't expect to call anyone untill June.</p>
<p>June???</p>
<p>u gotta be kidding me... im also in the waitlist pool at JHU...</p>
<p>JUNE?!?!?! so i gotta send in my tuition deposit AND my housing deposit at the school i'm enrolled at before i get word from my waitlist? grrrr</p>
<p>well since that stuff was due may 1st for many schools, the fact that it wont be untill june shouldn't have affected that.</p>
<p>From an article in the Wall Street Journal:</p>
<p>At Johns Hopkins University, Admissions Director John Latting says the proportion of applicants who will accept an offer of admission is expected to drop to 29%, compared with 32% last year. Last year's figure included admission of about 150 applicants from the wait list. This year, Mr. Latting says he doesn't anticipate taking any applicants off the wait list.</p>
<p>I don't want to dash anyone's hopes, but the reality is that likely no one will get in off the waitlist. There's always the possibility of transfering, but for now it might be better to concentrate on the schools which accepted you.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>I am taking my spot too so theres one less person off the waitlist:( But hang in there you never know what could happen! Good Luck!!!!:)</p>
<p>Ahh... I hope Mr. Latting changes his mind.</p>
<p>I saw latting at lunch today. Hes a nice guy.</p>
<p>Mr. Latting, I know you're a really nice guy so would you please change your mind and accept poor waitlisted students like me???</p>
<p>sry since this was my #1 and only east coast school i got into, im taking the offer.</p>
<p>i declined their offer, so hopefully this will help the anxious waitlisted students.</p>
<p>Its already been stated that the enrollment numbers that have been received so far by the admissions office have exceeded those of the class of 2008. Therefore those who are waitlisted should face reality as sad as that sounds.</p>
<p>i declined JHU as well</p>
<p>Only 29% accept their offer of admission? That makes me feel queezy...</p>
<p>can someone post where you guys are getting this info?</p>

The target class size for next year's freshmen is 1080, compared to the class of 2008, which is 1050. Admissions accepted more students than last year so they wouldn't lose students and have to go to the wait list.</p>
<p>Conley said that from the beginning of the admissions process, "We didn't want to use the wait list [because sometimes] not all those kids are still there."</p>
<p>Because they didn't want to "take a chance," according to Conley, the plan was to "go out there and get this class without using the waitlist even if it means being a little less selective."

<p>yeah, i saw that article, it doesn't say anything about a 29% yield, and does anyone else think that's a terrible way for a school to approach the admissions process?</p>
<p>No. JHU still maintained selectivity through improving the quality of students enrolled. Trying to enroll a class with substantial use of waitlists is tricky as witnessed last year when nearly 5% of the class was enrolled through the waitlist.</p>
<p>ok guys who have accepted their offers, did anyone ask you whether you had taken your place or not? Why go on tell your story why you accepted it ?</p>
<p>Stop making waitlisted people feel bad, stick to the line of questions. Even if you dont intend to, it comes off as bragging</p>
<p>shostakovich arent you a second year at Washu ?</p>
