Notes
The John Hopkins Sociology PhD program acted in an incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful manner toward me with respect to decision notification. After not hearing from the program for well past their posted results timeline I sent a polite email asking for an update or timeline for a decision. They responded with a one sentence email informing me that all admittance letters were sent out on 2/12/25. When I responded asking for clarification since my graduate portal was not updated and my inquiry was not directly addressed, they took two days to respond with a two-word email: “not admitted.” I still have no update on my graduate portal. It seems that the JHU program cannot be bothered to inform people of their decisions and is incapable of showing remorse or grace—an incredibly low bar that is standard amongst every other program. I am deeply disappointed in the program’s handling of this process. If you are still waiting for your results from JHU, don’t expect to hear from them.
