Ok so since no one can offer any proof, I'm doing it. I'm goin' in. I'm contacting two POIs and just make some kind of contact. No one can offer any proof other than it might annoy them, but then again, students often annoy professors on a daily basis. A little sucking up and a few questions cant hurt.

Does anyone have any proof that it will hurt to call/email/pidgeon message a POI at this point?

Indeed ------GOD! BUFFALO *shakes fists*

Well I guess that means I stil have a chance with Hopkins???? whats a specific inquiry??? blowage

it did change. it changed on thursday of last week to reviewed by committee.

The reject was me. It really sucks being the first rejection I've had.

I havent I just emailed them because I cant take the sick feeling anymore-----ironic after I've been trying to help calm nerves these past few weeks in this group we have. and its one of my top choices. ERG

CRAP A SECOND JOHNS HOPKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO SICK RIGHT NOW

Actually they just said they start sending them out tomorrow not everyone will get their decision tomorrow

Johns Hopkins

They said both emails and snail mail - it doesnt matter which you will get we'll hear back BEGINNING TOMORROW! so dont be alarmed if you dont get anything in email or the mail since they are mixing it up - this is straight from graduate admissions coordinator

I saw it too. I called them and they said they are starting to send it out tomorrow. I duno where thats from though

there's no shame in calling them.

congrats to people that have heard something already!! And chin up people that have been rejected. We all applied to multiple schools for this very reason so there is still time and opportunities to get good news.

i wonder if other schools will send decisions earlier than last year as well. That would be nice and calm us all down.

UM not to change the subject, but per an earlier conversation we got to 70 pages by the evening.

If I could have this on a plaque, I would.

I also unsubscribed from all the stuff I signed up for because of my gmail tab popping up with a (1) and my heart skipping a beat at the sight of it. My heart can't take anymore

don't get discouraged too soon! Interview emails may be customized to the applicant, yes? Yours may be coming.

A professor at my school who is on the committee there said that GRE scores dont really matter in the grand scheme of things: it is only used as a cut off when there are applicants that are equally strong in everything else. I don't know if that is just for this particular school, but I assume it's pretty close to the same reasoning, especially if there are people that get accepted with scores below 700 (verbal).

indeed it is

It's 3am and I'm up hoping to find decisions in my email....oh boy.

Dont worry about the transcript not getting there. If your application is strong and of interest (which clearly it is), they will wait for it most definitely. Some schools take a scanned copy of your transcript and dont ask for the official ones unless you're accepted Cornell and Emory). Ask them if thats okay for now.

OMG congrats! And so early. You're SO lucky to be relieved early in the process.
