<p>I'm applying RD to JHU. I started an online application a few weeks ago and I completely forgot about it. I started my online common application, and I'm using it for JHU's application (and supplement). Should I cancel my online application with JHU or just take JHU off of my list for using the common application?</p>
<p>I hope I'm being clear on this. If I'm vague in anyway, feel free to say so.. this is worrying me.. argh! Thanks</p>
<p>i heard that jhu adcoms like it better when u use their own apps, cuz they like their essay topics, so id prob take jhu off ur common app list.
(unless jhu is not like ur top top choice and u dont wanna do more essays, in which case i have no idea how to cancel the jhu online app...sry)
btw, i like ur location, very smart. hehe</p>
<p>I have to use the commapp in my case because for some reason my computer won't let me register with the jhu application! Yes, it's a very tempermental computer ;)</p>
<p>Can't I include JHU essays in my common application as well since the supplemental piece includes those prompts as optional essays (which I will certainly do)?</p>
<p>^yes you can (as I am as well! :p)</p>
<p>yea...im not an expert on this, but im pretty sure i read somewhere than u can do that</p>
<p>So staying with the common application (when applying to JHU) is okay, right? Do I even really need to cancel my JHU-specific online application? As long as I don't actually submit it and pay the $, I should be fine, correct?</p>
<p>Yes sir. (I've done that for a couple schools already, as long as you don't submit no problemo)</p>
<p>O okay, thanks!</p>
<p>I also accidentally made two accounts for my UVA online application (possibly even three). I kept forgetting my password, so I tried retrieving it by having them e-mail it to me. Whenever I checked my e-mail, it wasn't there, but I realized a few days ago that all of them went into the "spam" folder of my e-mail box lol.. this isn't a problem is it?</p>
<p>Nope. I, too did the same thing lol :p.</p>
<p>hopkins adcoms dun care which application you use. however, i think it behooves you to write their essays (like the $10 one) in addition to submitting your common app.</p>
<p>celebrian25, you also made that UVA blunder?</p>
<p>Spikedsoymilk, so as long as I write that $10 essay, I'm okay? I'll be writing it and attaching it to the JHU supplement.</p>
<p>just to clear up any confusion...and answer questions...</p>
<p>(1) JHU has no preference in which application you use -- our own or the Common application.</p>
<p>(2) JHU does prefer and highly recommend that applicants using the Common application submit the 2 JHU essays which are part of the supplement.</p>
<p>(3) If you have started a JHU online application, but now have chosen to submit the common application online instead you should de-activate your JHU online application. Otherwise you will receive numerous email reminders to submit the JHU online app. by the deadlines. (You probably have already received one...)</p>
<p>(4) You may keep the JHU online application active as it will not affect your common application in anyway. Just make sure not to submit duplicate applications!!!</p>
<p>Most importantly, if you have any questions call the Admissions Office (410-516-8171) or contact them through the main email address (<a href="mailto:gotojhu@jhu.edu">gotojhu@jhu.edu</a>).</p>
