Does anyone know if JHU has sent out information on the background check process for accepted students? I read somewhere that they follow different process other than AMCAS BG process
 
I also got it around the same time, maybe try emailing financial aid to make sure they're received all the documents?
 
Did anyone at all get an email to even check their status?

(I just got an email for my login stuff, but I find it weird I never got an email to check my portal).

Yesterday, I got an email to check my portal for an update letter.
 
Just for future years, I never got that email lol, but today I got a bunch of other emails from them.

Really silly question but I was accepted in the 1st round (in Dec) but still haven’t received my swag box, anyone have info on this?
 
Does anyone know if letters of intent / substantive updates have any bearing on WL movement? I feel like I've seen that the waitlist is ranked, so maybe it wouldn't matter much?

Alsooooo anyone know if they're sticking with the "WL movement begins in May" ?

There are 159 admitted students in the GroupMe for a target class size of 120. Last year, nobody was admitted from the waitlist and it was overenrolled by 7 people. They are hoping to utilize the waitlist, but it’s far from a guarantee that anybody will get in from the waitlist. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Letters of Intent don’t matter when the admitted —> matriculated yield is so high.
 
Does anyone know if Hopkins will go the way of NYU and Einstein to make tuition free for all students? If Einstein was able to do it, why not Hopkins lol

Could have received less money than Einstein. Also could be for equity reasons

Pretty sure they were both $1 billion donations. I suspect Hopkins covering COA for families under $175k is the unique caveat that the other two don’t offer — so definitely equity reasons

They are also saying free tuition upto 300k family income?

The school will provide medical education tuition-free for students from families that earn up to $300k in annual income and a full-ride (inclusive of living expenses) for those from families earning up to $175k in annual income.

yes they do, I’m just adding that in addition to that they do a special thing for coa for families under 175k that the other free tuition schools don’t. That may be why the cutoff for free tuition under 300k will remain, as opposed to free tuition for all, which was sultanateiv’s og question

I feel like even if it gets revoked we shouldn’t be affected. I imagine it would take them time to instill the system back in place—that would take at least a couple of clerkship cycles to accomplish (I’m coping)

I spoke to an MS1 today and they thought it would be implemented next year if it was decided (since clerkship start second semester of MS2)... They only swapped to p/f bc of COVID and I heard many faculty are in support of changing it back... I'm going to bring it up at second look this weekend if no one else does first. But I get the feeling the faculty will be like "we don't know yet" since it'll take a while for the committee to decide. I just don't know how receptive to student feedback they are.

This has already been discussed at length in the GroupMe and this thread. The current students think match outcomes will heavily influence the decision, and since the match list hasn't really been better than this year, they seem hopeful that p/f will stay. The committee hasn't met for their first time yet and it will be months before they have a decision.
 
Did anyone else on the WL get the accept / decline WL spot email? In my update they said: "The Office of MD Admissions will send you an email later in the cycle, asking whether you would like to remain on the waitlist." I was planning on waiting to receive that email before sending in an interest or intent letter. Thanks!

Nope, never got the email. Emailed the admissions office asking about this because I was also planning on sending an LOI, but just got an automatic reply stating they're currently receiving a "higher-than-normal volume of emails". I'm planning on going ahead and submitting my letter anyway.

Hey everyone! I'm a current MS-4 from Hopkins Med and happy to answer questions about my experience here. In addition, my roommates and I will be graduating and leaving behind a very nice 4bed 4.5bath house near the med campus and looking for new tenants on behalf of our landlord. Shoot me a message if interested!
 
Just decided on JHU — is there a deposit due today, or do we just hit plan to enroll by tonight on amcas and withdraw other As?

No deposit due, just hit the plan to enroll button and withdraw all other acceptances. Then once you're done waiting on waitlists, withdrew from them all, and then go into the CYMST and switch to commit to enroll!

The GroupMe is currently at 127 admitted students. Hopkins aims to have a class size of 120.

Was there a mass exodus on May 1 or were people slowly leaving? Just tryna gauge if there's any point in hoping or if the class is actually already filled.
 
seconding this^^

I will add that a few people also left the chat after May 1, and that I know of at least 3 people who have yet to leave the GroupMe but committed elsewhere. All that is to say, the 127 number is likely not accurate for a lot of reasons, so I wouldn't lose hope until you have to commit elsewhere!
 
Also keep in mind that there are a few current students in the GroupMe that aren't admins (I've counted 3 out of 127 that have M1 in their name)
 
Hopkins please take me Otherwise, I’ll have to go all the way to the opposite coast :’(
