Ahh hi! Congrats! Mary Fissell's a force of nature! I'm currently working on early modern reproductive system cancer, but I'm moving into the modern world because I'm interested in the relationships among cancer, immunity, and genetics. I've had a couple POIs because Hopkins is such a good fit for me (including Nathaniel Comfort, Elizabeth O'Brien, and Fissell), but I got the call from Jeremy Greene, the department chair and another POI.
The call was very kind: congratulations, brief info about funding, invitation to accepted student days, a little bit of conversation about the status of my other applications, etc.
For context, I visited the department in the fall for a prospective student visit. If you haven't done that with Hopkins, I highly recommend it in the next application cycle. I was told by the grad students that usually they usually only accept 2 students a year, but that there were rumors among the department that they might be accepting more this year.
