Anyone have access to FB or groupme? feel like that’s the only way to gauge movement

Not intent, but an update along with expressed interest!

Do you happen to know how they accept updates from people who are on the waitlist? I couldn't find a general admissions email, nor does it seem that the portal accepts updates.
 
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?
 
Do any accepted students know if a research year is a thing at Hopkins?

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 :/.
