Urgently situation. My son got into BME in JHU on March 18, 2022 the date of admission releasing. But after 4 weeks his portal shows that JHU could not offer a BME spot for him. Does anyone know what happened? The due date to enroll JHU is 5/1/2022. My son likes BME at JHU very much.
When you called JHU, what did they tell you?
I did not call yet. I want my son to contact to Administration office. My son did not contact yet. Is it good I call JHU directedly? Does BME students should enroll ASAP to keep the spot? I don’t know. My son did not enroll it yet because the due date is 5/1/2022.
You or he should call JHU admissions as soon as possible, preferably today, and ask what happened and what your options are.

Thank you very much.
You’re welcome. Please post back what you learned. Hopefully it was just a mistake and it will all be okay, but if not, hopefully someone here can help you with possible next steps.
sure
Hi! I’m hoping things went well when you called JHU. Were they able to give you an explanation?
We are waiting for the response from JHU. Is anyone having the same situation before?
Did you call them or email them? And who did you contact?
Editing to add: if you emailed and are still waiting for an answer, you really need to call them instead and work the system until you get an answer. May 1 is only a couple of days away and you need this information.
Just to add to that - May 1st is a Sunday which means May 1st and April 30th are non-working days. Definitely call.
@sli Just following up. Have you called admissions yet? As AnonDad2026 noted, you basically have to get this resolved by tomorrow because no one will be answering the phones over the weekend and your son has to make his decision this Sunday.
And although the usual recommendation is for students to call admissions offices and not the parents, for something like this it is fine for the parent to call, especially if the student is in class during working hours.
Good luck.

Thank you all. JHU responded very promptly and very nicely. JHU stated my son did not admit to BME. JHU did not explain why we saw BME major on his portal on 3/18/2022. That is ok. My son likes JHU very much. He will apply for BME when he is sophomore at JHU.

I’m glad it worked out for your son!
@sli - I sent you a private message.
Wanting to ask— is BME guaranteed when he is a sophomore? If not, is he okay with that and does he have a backup plan if he is at JHU but does not get into BME?
Did he also get accepted to a BME program anywhere else?
