Well it’s not like it is early in the admission process. Decisions are going to be released by April 1st which is less than 3 weeks away and considering that the deadline was January 1st, over 3 months ago, they’ve been looking at applications for a while, even if it took several weeks to file and organize all the applications. I’m not disagreeing with you about Johns Hopkins seeing as how you actually go there so you know more than I do about Hopkins. Many people, however, have been getting likely letters from schools such as Columbia and Dartmouth, and Cornell has been accepting kids into schools like CALS and IRL for several weeks, and in some cases over a month ago. Also, I got an early admission on friday to Amherst College even though their regular decisions are released on April 1st. Williams college does the same thing so I know that some of these tops schools have started to solidify a list of accepted students. And like I said before, the Dartmouth board said that for almost all the applicants who received likely letters, they had also received emails about financial aid a couple of days before receiving the likely letter, but I don’t believe anyone has had the financial aid letter without later receiving a likely letter. But as I said earlier, you actually go to the school so probably know better. Anyway, best of luck to all other applicants!!!
