Did you receive an e-mail today?

Hmm, Lauren you mailed it in on 6/25. Vadd you mailed it in on 7/2.
(A pretty big range)
It seems like today was the first day they decided to sort through their mail and notify applicants that the paper copy has received?
I sent mine on 7/7, so maybe they'll get it in the next 2 business days...
Lauren and Vadd, did Hopkins receive your LORs yet?
Did anyone receive in the mail today a Hopkins viewbook with a 2-page letter included on nice stationary asking them to fill out the secondary? It says they received my AMCAS......idk if this is what everyone else got or what?
It's a nice viewbook....

What did you guys put for your start/stop dates for interests that you plan on pursuing your whole lives? I hate that it makes you put in MM/YYYY. Right now my stop date for music and alpine activities are 07/2065 because I plan on dying right around then. I'm tempted to just submit it like that. What do you think?
Lol I did the same thing for Columbia... for my legal address I put down like 2060 or 2080.. I don't remember lol
So for the educational background section, are you putting every school you took classes from? Or just the ones from which you got a degree?
On a similar note, would you GPA be the one for the school you got your degree from or your AMCAS GPA? Seems kind of pointless to ask for that again.
I would put everywhere you took classes from. Yes, I think they're basically asking AMCAS GPA. Really, most secondaries are mostly asking for AMCAS info again. It's just how it goes.Any thoughts?
Hey guys,
when you print out the hard copy to sent to adcom, does it say "Applicant Copy" across every page? Is that the right copy to send?

Anyone with thoughts on my question?You really did? I really want to submit it like that, but I'm nervous that the boys and girls on the Hopkins adcom are a bit too uptight for that.
Also, I'm waiting for my MCAT scores. Is it alright to submit the application with those slots blank? I'm assuming they're automatically notified when the scores come in.
I work at the hospital, so I walked mine over and handed in to them in person on 7/2 and I juse received their email today.
Also the woman in admissions at Hopkins yelled at me for bringing it over in person and told me that I am not to come back to the office to ask "a million questions" about the status of my application - I need to call like everyone else. This was the first time that I had ever been to the admissions office. I just wanted to assure that my app. did not get lost in the mail and save money on postage, and now I have a really bad taste in my mouth. Stupid people 👎
Yea, I've heard a lot of people say things like that. I'd give you the usual tripe of "they're really overworked, they probably had a rough day, etc.," which is certainly true to an extent, but there's still no need to be rude. Just please remember that a few administrative assistants in one office don't necessarily reflect on an entire institution (though they obviously are representing us, we should probably hire a few more people to help out with admissions just to make it more applicant-friendly).Also the woman in admissions at Hopkins yelled at me for bringing it over in person and told me that I am not to come back to the office to ask "a million questions" about the status of my application - I need to call like everyone else.

Anyone else receive any notification about Hopkins receiving their paper copy / LORs?
Still waiting... 🙁
I've never heard from Hopkins at all (including invitation to secondary)...I started filling out their secondary before I was verified, though.
Did you guys get e-mails telling you to fill out the secondary?
*sigh* this is the second school I'll have to contact...
What do you guys consider the difference between volunteer activities and extracurricular activites? It seems like a bit of a gray area. I volunteered to do a research, so is that under volunteer activities? I was involved in professional engineering organizations - is that volunteering or EC? Thanks!
I tend to think community service, unpaid clinical activities are more volunteering, and research and clubs and orgs more EC.

Hi all,
Those of you applying to JHU MSTP, are we supposed to send all LORs, our pic, and our application fee to the MSTP office?
Do we send anything to the med school admissions office?
Thanks!
Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know for certain how much detail we're expected to provide in the Awards List? Since we're not allowed to use tabs or hard returns, it seems like it would be hard to describe the award in more detail than just it's name. Any thoughts?
CONFIRMATION OF COMPLETE APPLICATION
We have received all materials required in support of your application to The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Your application will now be sent to the Committee on Admission for review. This process may take anywhere from several weeks until the end of April before a decision is reached. We will contact you as soon as possible after the Committee has completed its review of your application.
Thank you.
Hopkins apparently loves me more than Columbia
They finally got my secondary!
"Dear [copingmethods]:
We have received your secondary application. If you have not yet sent letters of recommendation, please note they are due by December 1. You will be notified if any items are needed to complete your application. We will send an e-mail when your application is complete and ready for review by the Committee on Admission.
Thank you.
Johns Hopkins School of Medicine
Office of Admission"
Bah, I also got this e-mail. I sent my LORs on 7/8!!! All the other places have received them 🙁
Come on, Hopkins!
I haven't received Hopkins secondary. Do I need to wait for them to give me the website or can I just get it started?
