Comments on: Would you like $10K to do your own research? http://blogs.hopkins-interactive.com/blog/2011/11/would-you-like-10k-to-do-your-own-research/ A behind-the-scenes look at the Johns Hopkins Undergraduate Admissions Office presented by Admissions Staff members Laurin Wolf, Ardi Mendoza and Shannon Miller.

Previous research experiences is not a requirement.

Students can apply for the Wilson fellowship as freshmen and details can be found here: http://krieger.jhu.edu/woodrowwilson/apply/index1.html. Decisions about the Wilson fellowship are not made by the Office of Admissions but a faculty panel so therefore we can not provide details on what they are looking for.

Is it safe to assume that I did not get it? If so, can I still apply next year using the same research idea because I am really interested in that study (I am working on it now, and I wanted to continue my research)?
What do the admission department base their decision on – the topic or…something else?
Thank you for your time and all.

I do not have a list of what journals and publications, but it is extensive. When provided $10,000 to do your own independent research at an institution like Johns Hopkins, many opportunities become available to you.

That’d be a pretty big deal…

Because usually the Principal Investigators give the students projects to work on…

That means any admitted early decision student who applied for the Wilson will learn of their decision when regular decision notifications are released, not any earlier. Decisions are sent via postal mail, not via e-mail.

I was accepted ED into the class of 2016 but I just finished applying to the Woodrow Wilson fellowship. Will I still be notified by the end of March or do I have to wait for regular decisions?
Thank you,
Anup
