<p>Hey everybody, I've submitted the online common application, the online supplement, the payment, my counselors and teacher have sent their material, and my SAT scores were sent as well. </p>
<p>Now I'm sitting here wondering if everything went through okay. On the commonapp site, it tells me that my form was downloaded, but is there a way for me to find out if JHU has recieved my other materials through snail mail? Like, is there a "check your status" area on the JHU site?</p>
<p>yea, but usually they are so busy at this time of the year that the service (check your status) is unavailable</p>
<p>I had the exact same question. When do you think we will be able to use that service?</p>
<p>JHU does not have an online system for checking application status. (I am not sure how many times I have to write this.)</p>
<p>And as far as checking application status, if you had just searched a bit or checked the JHU Admissions Officer's Corner you would have found the following message:</p>
<p>RD Applicant to JHU read this if you are interested in your application status:</p>
<p>As you can imagine, it’s a busy time in the Admissions Office as we process application materials. Because of the volume of records being handled, we regret that it is not yet possible to confirm whether application files are complete or to identity which individual items have been received. Johns Hopkins does not have an online system for checking application status, nor do we confirm application materials through email. </p>
<p>You will be mailed an acknowledgment postcard after your application is received. This indicates your application file has been opened (not necessarily that it is complete). In late February, once we have processed all received application materials, we will contact students whose applications remain incomplete. Those students will be given an opportunity to provide us with any missing items before we complete the evaluation of their applications. Rest assured that application files are checked carefully for completeness. You may call (410) 516-8171 after February 15 to check on your application, but we do ask that you call only if you have been previously contacted by us about missing materials.</p>
<p>How do you contact the applicant if his application materials are missing?</p>
<p>I am asking this because regular post takes a VERY long time to reach international students.</p>
<p>We contact students first by e-mail regarding missing documents. If that does not work then we will try to call, or may even call the applicant's school. We do not send missing items letters through postal mail.</p>
