<p>After I submitted my application for EARLY DECISION, it worked. But when I go to pay the application fee, I get this error:</p>
<p>"Thank you for using the Johns Hopkins University Online Admissions Application.</p>
<p>To serve you better, updates are currently being made to the JHU online payment processor.</p>
<p>Please check back shortly to pay your application fee online to Johns Hopkins University. "</p>
<p>Its been like this for a week. I contacted JHU through a feedback form a few days ago, and no response. Anyone else getting the same error?</p>
<p>I am also having this problem. (I am a parent. I'm doing the payment part of the application because it's my credit card.) </p>
<p>I used the feedback form a few minutes ago, and received an automated response email saying that I can expect a personal response within a week.</p>
<p>If the online payment system is not available by tomorrow morning, I plan to just call the Admissions Office. I would prefer to pay online, but if I find out that the prognosis is not good, I will just mail in a check.</p>
<p>HERE IS THE OFFICIAL STATEMENT:</p>
<p>We apologize for this error. The online payment system is undergoing an upgrade this week and will not be available before the Early Decision deadline on November 1. We anticipate that the system will be restored within a week.</p>
<p>If you are applying Early Decision, your lack of payment due to this system maintenance will not affect the processing and reading of your application. You may wait until the system is back online to submit your payment or mail a check to:</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins University
Office of Undergraduate Admissions
Mason Hall
3400 North Charles Street
Baltimore, MD 21218</p>
<p>If you choose to send your payment via check, please download our Application Fee Attachment Form (<a href="http://apply.jhu.edu/pdf/2008/application_fee_attachment.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://apply.jhu.edu/pdf/2008/application_fee_attachment.pdf</a>) and send in this completed document along with your payment.</p>
<p>If you are applying Regular Decision, we recommend that you simply wait until the system comes back online to make your payment. Thank you for your patience.</p>
<p>The online payment processor is available again. The current message reads:</p>
