Haha, well funnily enough I read up quite a bit about JHU before the application but kept overlooking its spelling. It’s just one of those things that the human mind, or rather my mind didn’t pay much attention to. Most of my research was into a particular faculty, the opportunities available and the history behind the uni so it’s remarkable I never came across that joke.
If only that article were more than an April fools! I read it earlier today, after making the unfortunate realisation.
