Maybe no one else here got dinged - then the batches theory would make sense...well, at least that's my optimistic thinking for the rest of you guys. It's not over until it's over...sadly for me it is.

sorry cybernut. if this doesnt work out im looking at applying to the new program at johns hopkins.

Up for me too (got a call earlier) - the system confirms that I'm in but no mention of $ in the letter

Looks like maybe it was in batches....Admits are now going up.

did anyone get money in the letter?

Nope - I was told by my caller that $$$ info would be in your welcome packet.

I asked in the phone call about whether or not fellowship info would be included in the admit package. She said that it would be, and it would also be in the electronic update. But alas - no funding mentioned in my letter.
