To those who got in to better schools, please reject Johns Hopkins, It's my top school. Does anyone also get the waitlist email? I sent an email asking how many other applicants are before me but they didn't answer.

Strong rec letters/good gpa but not a good match in terms of research interests. I mostly applied here because of a two-body problem, and we have Cornell and other schools!

Can't say I'm surprised: this program is highly selective! Got into Cornell though and that's where I'll head off to (:

TTPB: I'm sorry you also got rejected but know that some good came out of it! I would never have thought to check the portal! Weird they didn't send out an email saying "your status changed" like other schools.
