2007-08 international student certification of finances guidelines

<p>Can I summit the form I downloaded from collegeboard.com instead of the form Johns Hopkins gave me in its booklet?</p>

<p>If you are an international applicant to Johns Hopkins, then you must complete the 2007-2008 International Student Certification of Finances form. The form included with the Johns Hopkins application, is actually the same form as on College Board. Here is a direct link to the form:</p>

<p><a href="http://apply.jhu.edu/pdf/2007/application_international_finances.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://apply.jhu.edu/pdf/2007/application_international_finances.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>This form must be postmarked by the application deadline of January 1, 2007 and you need to send it to Johns Hopkins, not the College Board.</p>

<p>I know this question is more directed towards the office that deals with financial aid ect, than to admissions, but I am currently having a huge amount of difficulty getting a bank signature on the form. I have had to have one filled out for another college, and it took over a month, and much correspondance to recieve written confirmation from the building society regarding the funds.</p>

<p>Due to the holiday season (when the whole world ceases to get anythng done) there is no chance of me getting this form sucessfully signed by January 1st - I have been trying unsucessfully for a number of weeks now.</p>

<p>Of how much importance is it if the form is delayed somewhat, due to the lack of bank signature. Should I send it in ASAP, but just leave off the bank confirmation, and send this at a later date?</p>

<p>I know this may seem like a fairly easy problem to solve (just walk into bank and ask manager to sign) but the funds are located in an account where there is no branch, and it is a slightly unusual request here in the UK.</p>

<p>Thanks, Louise</p>

<p>My suggestion is that you send a copy of the form with as much information as you can complete prior to the Jan. 1 postmark deadline. Include a letter of explanation regarding the bank confirmation and that you will send a completed form ASAP. Then just get the form completed quickly and send as an update.</p>

<p>Many thanks, shall do that.</p>

<p>Thanks alot</p>
