Why do you think Hopkins worth this much of patience and stress? I am sure you have other offers! I do have several offers from USC, UCLA, and Purdue!! Hopkins is just making the process harder and harder and I don't know why students should wait too long!

They wrote this to me: "After the second look visits are complete, we expect that it will take roughly two weeks to process the final decisions. We hope to have final offers out around 3/14."

I think. base on “Meeting with these faculty or their lab members should take place no later than Friday, March 4”, their official offer letters should come around March 15th!!!

Any insights on why they're doing this? To make sure select labs get the students they want?

I got an email from BMEPhDRecruit about meeting with two PIs until Friday, March 4 to be considered as a direct match candidate for these labs. It says "The purpose of these interactions is to give you an opportunity to get to know more about the lab’s research, people, culture, and environment to help you determine whether that lab is a good fit for you" But from the email, I say personally that there is a second round of interviews! This one seems more like me meeting the supervisor in a lab meeting setting. What do u think, friends?
