ED Applicants to JHU Read!!!

Colleges and Universities A-Z Johns Hopkins University

<p>There have been a number of questions the past few days about how to check if the JHU Admissions Office has received all of your application materials and whether your ED application is complete. Here is what you need to know...</p>

<p>(1) DO NOT CALL OR EMAIL YET!!!
The Operations team is still receiving, opening, and processing mail from ED applicants. This is a process that will take this entire week. As you can imagine with over a 1000 ED applications and a lot of RD applications arriving, there is a lot of mail to sort through. PATIENCE.</p>

<p>(2) WHAT CONFIRMATION YOU WILL RECEIVE
Once your application (online or paper) is entered into the database system a Blue postcard will be mailed out. It can take upwards of two weeks for these postcards to go through the Hopkins mail system and then the US postal service (obviously a greater delay for international mail). PATIENCE. </p>

<p>(3) WHAT IF SOMETHING IS MISSING
You will be contacted. If something is missing to complete your ED application the Operations team will contact you via email with regard to what is missing. This process has begun and will continue throughout the next week. If you don't receive an email then assume your application is complete. PATIENCE.</p>

<p>(4) IF YOU MUST CALL...
...then please wait until next week. Then call 410-516-8171. Do not contact your regional Admissions counselor -- they are busy reading app. files.</p>

<p>(5) WHAT ABOUT FINANCIAL AID
If you applied for financial aid you will receive an email with an ID number. It can take up to two weeks for financial aid applications to be received, processed, and for the ID email to be sent. PATIENCE</p>

<p>So the common theme is this...
PATIENCE. You will be contacted if something is missing.</p>

<p>ED applicants can now fall asleep at night.</p>

<p>Thank you laxfan.</p>

<p>if i already asked for my financial aid ID they wont send another one right?</p>

<p>monii, no idea -- you will have to contact the Financial Aid office regarding your ID. Admissions has nothing to do with the issuing of the IDs. Sorry.</p>

<p>hm.. i got an orange postcard rather than a blue post card, saying 'thank you for applying to jhu using the Common Application.' in the first sentence. it says that if i have not sent the supplement i need to do so asap. i got this postcard around a month ago. is this it?</p>

<p>Orange postcards are for students who submit the Common Application online. It means that the common application has been received only -- it does not confirm receipt of the Common App. supplement. (((Just as the card states.)))</p>

<p>Therefore, revise point #2 of my original post to read "Blue or Orange" postcard.</p>
