Maybe I'm just salty, but I think it's laughable how hopkins can:

"criticize the (US News ranking) system’s overemphasis on standardized test scores and college grade point averages."

when essentially half their class gets a perfect score on the MCAT

I definitely didnt have the best scores and am below their MSAR 10% (as well as many other schools). I actually didnt even think I shouldve applied because of my insecurity with metrics, but I still wanted to believe that narratives matter in the dehumanizing app process. IIRC, some schools actually dont report their top and bottom 10% on msar, at least per a friend with info from admissions at HMS, Stanford etc.

Ultimately I was rejected alotta places but Hopkins took a chance on me and I'm super grateful. I know its sample n=1, and I also hate the metrics game, but thought I should share my experiences as a box and whisker tail end matriculant. No matter where you go, I hope you get to explore and do what really matters to you, keep your chin up and fingers crossed for WL movement!
 
I been watching the member count on FB like a crazy person. 😵

Seems like not much is changing anymore. No chance here, huh? Does anyone know if they give a final decision when waitlist movement is over?

I’m hoping they let us know soon. CTE for my school is in the next week and I would hate to live with the “what if” once I have to withdraw the waitlist :/.
