I'm still on the waitlist, but does anyone know if the fall semester will be all virtual?
 
I was accepted 5/27 but just declined my offer. Good luck to everyone on the waitlist!

I believe they still plan on having classes in person based on the last email they sent out to us. But they are moving around some events to later on in the year like the White Coat Ceremony. They did say though that orientation might be virtual if things are not safe. So I'm guessing everything is still up in the air.

Is it a good idea to ask how many people are in the list or how long usually the decision takes?

You can email them and ask what your ranking is on the list. They usually say they have no way of knowing how long the decision will take but most people have a good chance of being accepted from the list and they pull all the way until classes begin.

Have they sent emails regarding classes? The only one I received was the equipment order form.

Would Dr. Weir be the best person to contact for this?

No, the only thing I have received so far was the equipment order form and the uniform order form.

Y’all really don’t need to buy all of the equipment unless you really want it.

Did you have to contact Dr. Weir or Mrs. Day to find out your rankings? If you did, how long did you wait until you asked them after your interview? Btw good luck with your admissions!

Really? Do you know which equipment we absolutely need? I don't wanna spend more money than I have to...

I just asked Dr. Weir today. Basically, I'm doing a one year master's of science at Johns Hopkins to better prepare myself for medical school and asked him if I could know where I was on the list. I'm planning to move to Baltimore soon otherwise.

There is! You should have received an email from the second year students with the link. If not just shoot me a message and I'll send it to you. I didn't join BTW because social media isn't really my thing lol.
 
I just heard I got in! Wow, so excited. Going to be a lot of work and will need to dig deep but been working on this goal for minute. Very fortunate for the opportunity.

Hey, so I just got in on Monday. Do you mind sending me a link to the facebook group? Might be good to hear what everyone else has to say about the coming fall semester, etc

Did you try looking at the dorms they offer? They reserve a couple dorms just for medical students. I was initially looking at apartments but then I saw how cheap the dorms were so I went with that option. I got a private room, a private bathroom, and two closets all for a little over a $1,000 per semester. So if you are in a rush, try to look into that!
