there are def a few people in there who also committed elsewhere but just havent leftWait how do u know lol. Also for transparency sake, the Groupme is now at 165 students (excluding M1s).
Nobody new has joined. Nobody has left since last Tuesday. Same #.any update on the # of people in the groupchat? Is it still way above 120?
Current M1s began removing folks today, there’s about 132 incoming students in there right now for a class size of 120any update on the # of people in the groupchat? Is it still way above 120?
Ah by any chance is the 120 inclusive of the MSTP cohort? Reason being I know some are also in the MD group chat, so if it's a goal of 120 MD students then you could probably subtract the current total by like 10-18 folks.Current M1s began removing folks today, there’s about 132 incoming students in there right now for a class size of 120
I think that the 120 includes both MD and MSTP folks.Ah by any chance is the 120 inclusive of the MSTP cohort? Reason being I know some are also in the MD group chat, so if it's a goal of 120 MD students then you could probably subtract the current total by like 5-10 folks.
It's been a few years since I applied but when I applied the waitlist was not strictly ranked, essentially the admissions dean and associate dean look over applicants on the waitlist vs committed applicants and aim to have a balanced class (ie, if the incoming students are too east coast heavy they go for west coast, or if the balance of male/female or particular groups or majors or interests is unbalanced they try to balance it). That's how it was when I applied, things may have changed. Letter of intent doesn't help. If you have a mentor with some weight who can call the admissions dean for you that might help but most people don't have that (like if you did 2 years of research there with a division chief or something like that and your mentor is willing to go to bat for you).Given that the waitlist is ranked, does that mean updates/letters/intent are meaningless as this point?
the last few years it started before/around mid May but the # of members in the group chat was usually below 120. This year they apparently admitted more people so maybe it will start later (if at all)?Does anyone know when movement here might start?
why this year 🙁((the last few years it started before/around mid May but the # of members in the group chat was usually below 120. This year they apparently admitted more people so maybe it will start later (if at all)?
I reached out to them via email a while ago but didn't hear backHas anyone asked the admissions office if they expect the waitlist to move at all this year?
Yea doesn't look like any movement. The group chat is still around 10 people above their desired class size, so technically it's overenrolled still. No one has left the group chat in the last week or so.Has there really been zero WL movement? The school I'm holding an A at has a CTE deadline of June 1st 🙁
And with Hopkins having such a late a CTE date of 7/12 I imagine people holding PTE there don’t feel particularly rushed to CTE and can wait to see if that T20 full ride or Harvard or NYU call off the WL comes in (or whatever might cause someone to leave Hopkins, if anything)Yea doesn't look like any movement.

same here.. anyone still in WL and didn't get R today?Just got the R from the WL. GG see you all June 1
I did not get the Rsame here.. anyone still in WL and didn't get R today?
Same gg folks, was a huge honor to even be consideredsame here.. anyone still in WL and didn't get R today?
Hour and a half agodid you guys receive the email right now or earlier?
I did not get the R also. Sorry for you folks who were given the R, you're all incredible and I wish you the best success moving forward <333I did not get the R
Looks to be 132 folks after excluding current students - last time someone left was May 15thAny updates/changes on the class size from GroupMe?
it's actually 132. There are two current students not as adminLooks to be 135 folks after excluding current students - last time someone left was May 15th
So class is oversized compared to prior years?it's actually 132. There are two current students not as admin
With Harvard’s commit to enroll date already past, not sure there is much difference between PTE and CTE at Hopkins at this point. Maybe a few holding out for NYU or (unlikely) Einstein WL? Hard to imagine that most if not all of those currently PTE at Hopkins becoming CTE in the next few weeks which seems to me to indicate to me an unusually (perhaps unintentionally?) large M1 class.Some of those folks might be PTE since jhu CTE deadline isn’t till mid July
I haven't seen any movement/changes since around late Mayany news/changes in the groupchat?
+1R email received now
same here, did no one get off the WL this year?? i suppose it's possible someone did but didn't post abt it. But i do find it comical that they sent an emailing saying every yr for the past decade or so ppl get off the WL, and it just so happens that this year more ppl accepted their offer leading to an oversized classR email received now
We really got unlucky because they had very good WL movement almost every yearsame here, did no one get off the WL this year?? i suppose it's possible someone did but didn't post abt it.

I don't think you got unlucky.We really got unlucky because they had very good WL movement almost every year
Maybe someone did get off but they aren’t on SDN/didn’t post about it
I see. So it’s not that more people held onto their acceptance, but that the school accepted more students to start with and probably many of us on the WL would have been rejected right away if they hadn’t made the change this year.I don't think you got unlucky.
They accepted more people outright this year so they'd pull less from the WL.
So theoretically, some people in the class right now would've not made the cut for a direct acceptance and would've been accepted off the WL had they been conservative with direct acceptances like they have in the past.
This is true, but if the admissions committee had a plan to accept more people this year, they could've heavily cut down the size of the alternate list to compensate. There is no reason to keep people waiting up to six months when you know that few, if any, will get off the WL :/I don't think you got unlucky.

They also could have not misled us in that email saying “We have admitted applicants off the alternate list for the past two decades”. Although again, maybe someone did get off the WL and didn’t post, who knows.This is true, but if the admissions committee had a plan to accept more people this year, they could've heavily cut down the size of the alternate list to compensate.

That’s amazing!!! Congrats 🙂They also could have not misled us in that email saying “We have admitted applicants off the alternate list for the past two decades”. Although again, maybe someone did get off the WL and didn’t post, who knows.
Just a little bummed out, but thankfully a Canadian med school has finally accepted me so I suppose I can be at peace not waiting for JHu
