It’s only my speculation, but I think so. I have heard of other universities taking in smaller cohorts this year.
I have been wondering about that myself… if JHU’s acceptance rate is 17-20% of applicants in a typical year, I’m very curious to find out what their percentage is this year of accepted students.
For all who have gotten acceptance into JHU, did it come with any funding? I got accepted last week into a custom track, but there was no information about funding support. Obviously hoping for Bloomberg Fellowship, but I know that’s tight.
