Hi all - maybe I am jumping the gun, but has anyone else begun working on their applications for Summer/Fall 2010 admission?
I plan on applying for direct entry to JHU, UCSF, Yale, Columbia, and Vanderbilt. With the exception of UCSF's 9/1 deadline, the rest seem to be due between 11/1 and 12/1. Although UCSF has the closest deadline, I am stressing the most about the essays for JHU. Anyone started them yet?
Also, does anyone plan on attending the open house that JHU is having in September? I would love to go, but I am in California, so I have to decide if it is worth the $$$. I am thinking I might be better off saving the money to fly out for the interview (positive thinking here).
Anyway, I would love to compare notes with anyone applying, or anyone who applied last year.
So... I gave in to temptation and I called Hopkins. According to the person I spoke with, decisions are and will still be made up until tomorrow. I asked her how the decisions were being made--whether they're alphabetical or the date in which they were received. She answered that there is no logical explanation; the applications are being circulated to different people and end up completed at different times. Here's to hoping for an empty mailbox until after the 15th!

Thanks for sharing the info and updates, Grig... I've been so tempted to call. Decisions are still being made?!?! Fingers crossed...
When I interviewed I asked if people who didn't get accepted also got a phone call and he kinda chuckled and said, "no, that wouldn't be a good phone call."
Congratulations Kapeejay, Natalie, Rockstarr, and Jnak! :clpty: If you go to the JHUSON website there are forums under the Accepted Students section and there are also a couple Facebook sites that are listed are on the forums.

So does that mean if we don't get a call by tomorrow we're not in? I think my brain is going to explode.
so does that mean they will be making calls tomorrow or that if we didn't get one today thats it? and do we know if rejection letters were sent out already? or could they come later this week? sooo frustrating!

Congratulations to everyone who's gotten acceptance calls! I am feeling so antsy; I can't focus on anything other than my phone!
