<p>With notifications 3 weeks away, just curious what you and your fellow admissions folks are doing now… Is the bulk of the decision work completed and you’re just discussing a few additional candidates at this point? Or are you still in the midst of full-on decision meetings? When do the decision meetings wind up for you?</p>

<p>Working very, very, very hard. Pretty much the last week and the following week and a half is a time when the Admissions team meets in committees to make sure final decisions are what they should be. This is a time that we call “shaping the class” – determining what our final admit rate will be and which students will make the cut. </p>

<p>Personally, I have been working with Engineering cases for the past week and will be involved with the BME selection process later next week. </p>

<p>In addition, the Operations teams is beginning the process of confirming applicant details and preparing for the stuffing of the mail - which is a week-long process in itself.</p>

<p>Pretty much myself and my colleagues are on a 24/7 schedule right now.</p>

<p>Sounds exhausting! Are things still on track for emails to be sent to applicants on 3/29?</p>

<p>As of right now, yes we are still targeting March 29 as the mail/email date. If things change I will update everyone, and post on the Hopkins Insider blog.</p>
