BME early decision

[AdmissionsDaniel]

<p>Do note that there will probably be a change in policy regarding Early Decision BME applicants for the 2008-09 application cycle. In previous years, applicants who applied BME, who were amitted Early Decision, but not to the BME program would have their BME decision “deferred” to regular decision. That policy was explained here:</p>

<p>[Hopkins</a> Undergraduate Admissions :: FAQs :: Early Decision](<a href=“http://apply.jhu.edu/faqs/ed.html]Hopkins”>http://apply.jhu.edu/faqs/ed.html)

I was admitted Early Decision to the university but not to the biomedical engineering major. What are my chances of being admitted to the BME major during Regular Decision?</p>

<p>At this time, your accomplishments place you among a select group of students, and the Admissions Committee agrees that your acceptance is well earned. However, due to the keen competitiveness of the BME major, the committee needs to defer the decision about your acceptance into the major until it can review the complete BME applicant pool during Regular Decision. We certainly hope you will choose to enroll at Johns Hopkins now, but we understand if you would like to defer your decision until April.

<p>This policy will most likely change. Students admitted Early Decision to the University but not to the BME program will not have their BME decision re-reviewed (deferred) to Regular Decision. The final decision about the BME program will be made at the time of Early Decision, and a student will need to make their decision about whether to enroll at Hopkins as a University student without BME. Students admitted to JHU but not BME during Early Decision will still have their ED contract change to an early action plan and have until May 1 to matriculate. </p>

<p>Therefore, the answers to our ED FAQ page (linked above) do not reflect this current policy. Changes will be made when we release the 2008-09 application in August.</p>
