Oops, should have clarified – post-interviewPre-II or post-II?
Oops, should have clarified – post-interviewPre-II or post-II?
Is it Paul White replying to the emails?Any recent interviews or any other news from here recently? I’ve reached out to admissions to inquire about the application cycle, but the person replying to the emails is very dismissive and vague...
I’m not sure, though I doubt the assistant dean of admissions would be replying to applicants’ emails. Whoever is replying doesn’t use any identifying information and simply signs with “Office of Admissions, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.” I haven’t had the most pleasant experiences corresponding with them - maybe I’m reading too much into it as a neurotic medical school applicant, but as compared to all other schools I’ve corresponded with throughout the cycle, the person replying to emails at Hopkins admissions seems annoyed at emails/concerns/questions and the way they reply to emails is a bit passive-aggressive in my personal experience...Is it Paul White replying to the emails?
They don't accept pre-II updates. From their website: "We cannot accept any updates or additional information. Any extraneous materials received will be destroyed." So high risk, no reward in sending one, I think.Has anyone here sent in a pre-II update letter or asked the admissions office about sending one? I read that they don't accept them, but started a job at Hopkins over a month back and think the experience has been quite valuable.
Ah, I see. I'm sorry about that ): I personally haven't emailed them, but I have heard from a few others about their experiences & they seem to be similar to yours.I’m not sure, though I doubt the assistant dean of admissions would be replying to applicants’ emails.

Yeah, it hasn’t been the best experience emailing with them At least I know I’m not the only one who has had this experience. It sucks because I’m scared to email them about anything now.Ah, I see.

Hi I know this is kind of a late reply haha but I figured I'd answer since others may have the same question! I'm a second year at HopkinsAnyone who has already interviewed- what as the group meeting with 4th years like? The email doesn’t explain if it’s an info session or a 3rd pseudo interview. Don’t know what to expect
Hello! I'm your friendly neighborhood second year sorry for the late reply!To confirm, their IIs stop in December right?
And, the ember of hope burns on🔥 Thank you for this feedback!Hello! I'm your friendly neighborhood second year sorry for the late reply!
Just wanted to ease some tension here haha
For perspective, I submitted my secondary like 2-3 days before the deadline in late October (anxiety procrastination lol) and I received my II mid-January. So please do not give up all hope in that sense.
I believe I interviewed first week of February and I had the second to last interview my year (2018). However, due to COVID it is very possible that they may have a few more interview dates than previous years, though I cannot confirm as I am not on the admissions committee. This is just my educated guess based on how Hopkins has been handling COVID so far
What was the email about? I haven't received anything. Was it only for interviewees? I haven't gotten an II but was complete in Julymy heart skipped a beat with that email 😖
Looks like it was just interviewees. Its just a description of the curriculum.What was the email about? I haven't received anything. Was it only for interviewees? I haven't gotten an II but was complete in July
Mid-December so probs 11th or 18th if they’re doing it on a Friday like last year. I’m guessing 18th?When do y'all think December decisions will come out?
Congratulations! Do you mind sharing what dates are available? I can’t believe they’re still in July...II! Just came through! Complete mid July
Thursday and Friday for next two weeksCongratulations! Do you mind sharing what dates are available? I can’t believe they’re still in July...
Thanks for the feedback!Thursday and Friday for next two weeks
yup also got the curriculum email pretty sure they sent it to all their interviewees. Not sure about when you'd hear back but where did you get the Dec 15 date from?anyone else get an email with a description of their Genes to Society Curriculum? Also do people who interviewed early November hear back on Dec 15 or late Jan?
MSAR days December 15th is the earliest day...but last year's MSAR said the earliest decision date was December 14th and decisions were released December 13th (one day before hmmmmm)yup also got the curriculum email pretty sure they sent it to all their interviewees. Not sure about when you'd hear back but where did you get the Dec 15 date from?
Hopkins releases decisions in two groups.Does anyone know when decisions will be released if you interviewed mid November?
Hopkins releases decisions in two groups.
They should have told you if your interview group decisions would be part of the first or second group. If your interview group is not included in the December group, you will be part of the second group in March.
I interviewed in February, and received my decision on March 28th, 2018!
Thank you! Is there also a third end of January group like in previous years?
So I just asked a 4th year to double check and their experience was 3 rounds of interviews and only one round of decisions. So I'm not sure how much they will be following the precedent, especial during ~pandemic times~.Thank you! Is there also a third end of January group like in previous years?
