Program Specific Thread - Johns Hopkins

[Chemee]

Hey guys! Last month I was accepted into Johns Hopkins for chemistry. These are pretty general questions but I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about the department, about living in Baltimore, and other general tips about this institution. Also I was wondering if anyone was planning on going to their visitation weekend! Thanks!

I am going to their visitation weekend.

I definitely going to the visitation as well. Seems like an interesting place to study with lots of cutting edge research.

Not sure if anyone has heard anything stipend wise but I managed to do some digging and last year it was 32k for the 12 months

I will definitely go to the visitation. Have you got the official letter of admission yet, guys? I have been waiting so far.

[Chemee]

Nahh not yet! Lauren McGhee just said that we will be getting them in "late February" so i'm assuming like early next week since it's almost March haha

How many of you guys got official letter this week? I've got a link to choose the faculty members to meet with during visitation. It seems that formal admission is delayed?  Just to make sure I'm not missed....

I didn't get the official letter either so I don't think you're missing anything

I guess the same thing is happening this year too. How long did it take for you all to receive the letter? 

 

I got the offer from the department in early Feb. But no official letter yet ?
