I think your aid is need-based only unless the scholarship itself explicitly specify there was merit. The reason why you got so much from Hopkins and very little from UCLA is because Hopkins is a private school with a huge endowment so they have a lot of $$$ to give out for need-based scholarship. UCLA is a public school so they have less funds to meet the need for everyone. I think they do have generous merit aid though.The way I am guessing I got merit is because my UCLA fin aid offer was $5k/yr, and my Hopkins was $45k/yr. Unless the formulas they are using are WILDLY different, Hopkins gave me some merit money
ThanksEmail!
Hmm interesting, possibly. The scholarship just said "General Scholarship" so I really can't tell them :/I think your aid is need-based only unless the scholarship itself explicitly specify there was merit.

Yeah i think that's need-based.Hmm interesting, possibly. The scholarship just said "General Scholarship" so I really can't tell them :/
Dang alright well nvm what I said above! Either way cash is cash 🤧🤑Yeah i think that's need-based.
What if the school I’m visiting for second look is paying for my hotel and plane haha. I think they already paid for the things. Do you think they’d be understandingI emailed the school that I could no longer attend their second look, and they were understanding of it! Got thing my plane tix is refundable lol
Haha maybe try emailing them?? They also paid for my hotel, but might be more tricky with plane tix!!What if the school I’m visiting for second look is paying for my hotel and plane haha. I think they already paid for the things. Do you think they’d be understanding
Do we have to set up an account or anything to get the fin aid notification? Or do they just directly email you?FYI for new admits a lot of people got financial aid info yesterday! (somehow snagged a full ride just from aid - still in disbelief) So I imagine that they are going to try to get on aid offers to the new admits ASAP. see y'all at second look!!
🐐🐐A!!!! Woah.
Thanks for the inside scoop about the party scene at Johnny Hopkins. I had no idea they were so strict about professionalism over there. They clearly have some catching up to do if they want their students to be ready for the beer pong rounds during residency interviews.steer clear from Hopkins lol their admin is like big brother, they cancelled med prom this year and they track you to the lag and long. They also required students to attend a lecture on professionalism bc of how crazy it is there
The location is the only thing. If the location is that important to you, then it is something to consider - but also from what I've seen it's similar to some of the other big cities. But to me that's not much of an issue bc it has everything else I was looking for P/F, no AOA, a godly match list, insane research, great mentorship, friendly students who are more than happy to answer questions, T3, and arguably the biggest name in medicine. Other things to consider (non financial) would be like proximity to family, SO work availability in the area, and weather.Talk me out of Hopkins.
Those with A’s to JHU and considering not going for reasons other than financial, share your thoughts if you don’t mind.
It’s always been my first choice and cost of attendance is basically same as my other options (still waiting on Einstein post interview recently but not expecting them to give any more A’s).
Want to hear why some of you may be deciding not to go to Hopkins to make sure I’m not missing something.
EDIT—realize some current applicants may be shy to answer this so maybe prior years can weigh in.
Congrats to all!
Fantastic answer. Will have the opposite effect of what the OP wanted. But fantastic answer.The location is the only thing.

Only reason not to go: It is only a T2. Do you really want to attend a school that is not T1? That will affect your chances to be an interplanetary alien urologist.lol. No I don’t want to be talked out of it. Just trying to hear best argument against because I’m all but convinced and have been since I got the A!
Thanks for the response!
Unironically agreeOnly reason not to go: It is only a T2. Do you really want to attend a school that is not T1? That will affect your chances to be an interplanetary alien urologist.
