<p>hi..</p>
<p>i'm an international student, but I totally forgot to send the certification of finance...</p>
<p>What do I have to do now? Has the deadline passed? Will it jeopardize my chances?</p>
<p>How do I send the certification of finance?</p>
<p>I'm freak out !!! /sobbing</p>
<p>yah ***** i just realised i haven't sent it either. Damn.</p>
<p>All international applicants must complete the International Student Certification of Finances form. You can access the form here: <a href="http://apply.jhu.edu/pdf/2009/application_international_finances.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://apply.jhu.edu/pdf/2009/application_international_finances.pdf</a> . This form is a required element of one's application for admissions and therefore must be submitted by the application deadline. Without this form, ones application will be considered incomplete and we will be unable to review it for admission. *If you have yet to submit this form, you need to submit it immediately. *</p>
<p>^ Wait, but this applies to Intl students <em>not</em> requiring financial aid only, correct?
I'm an International student requiring aid- how badly does that affect my chances of admission?</p>
<p>For Johns Hopkins, the International Student Certification of Finances form is required of **all **international students, even those applying for financial aid.</p>
<p>Aghgh! Thanks for telling me!!</p>
<p>Can I send a few bank statements instead of the COF</p>

<p>NO. The certificate of finances form is REQUIRED in addition to the bank statement(s).</p>
<p>Hi
I’m having trouble understanding question 14 that asks: what is the total amount of money you expect to have when you arrive at this institution? </p>
<p>Does this include prepaid tuition/rooms and meals? Does it mean the amount of money I expect to have RIGHT as I step foot inside campus or like an living allowance on an annual basis?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>As I interpret it, Question #14 is asking about the amount of spending money you expect to have upon arrivial for your fall semester. This is not related to money you would use towards tuition nor room and board and also doesn’t refer to any savings you would have. It is simply asking how much money does a student expect to have accessible during the school year for personal expenses.</p>
<p>Hello, I’m from Uzbekistan. What should I indicate in the certification in the question 8a if my parents have savings, but not in a bank? 8b-8d are not applicable for me. What should I write?</p>
<p>Daniel should this document be postmarked by the deadline or should arrive at Johns Hopkins by deadline? Can I fax it?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>In 8A, you list the money your parents have in savings (in a bank.)
In 8B, you list the money your parents have that is not in a bank.
In 8C, sponsors - In 8D, government
It is pretty self-explanatory. If you are not getting money from one of these types of sources then you leave that section blank.</p>

<p>The International Student Certificate of Finances form must be mailed. We do not process it if it is faxed or e-mailed, and there is no way to submit it online. The postmark date must be prior to our Jan. 1 application deadline.</p>
<p>Daniel: I am applying as an international student and my family incomes are pretty low <10000$ a year so I need to rely completely on financial need. I have some small amount of money in bank, so should I put it or to simply write 0.</p>
<p>You must fill out the International Student Certificate of Finances form completely honestly. If there is money in the bank it must be reported. This is for both international students applying for financial assistance and those not.</p>
<p>im sorry just totally forgot about this, is there any way i can send this by fax for the time being as im in Spain and the mailis no longer working! I can send it in after the 1st of January on the 2nd of January but cant do it right now!</p>
<p>Have it postmarked Jan. 2 and include a letter explaining the delay.</p>
<p>What if I am considered an International Student, but live in the US without any type of Visa (nonresident alien)? Do I still fill the form out, and leave non applicable spaces blank??? please help!</p>
<p>All international students must complete the International Student Certificate of Finances form and submit it with their application. An international student is defined as any student who is both a non-US citizen and a non-US permanent resident. Your status as an international student has nothing to do with where you live or where you go to school.</p>
<p>Hi Daniel,</p>
<p>You have mentioned that bank statements are part of the financial certification requirements for international applicants even before we receive any offer.</p>
<p>However, the issuing of bank statements will require the funds indicated on the statement issued to be frozen for a period of time (a year for the banks that we go to) or until all issued copies of the statement are returned to the bank. (Don’t you think this makes sense? Otherwise I could get a statement issued, lose all my money on a gambling spree the following day and the university would have no idea of knowing.)</p>
<p>(In fact, all the other universities I have applied to or considered do not require official bank statements at this stage of the admission process. This is why I neglected to check the JHU website word for word, assuming that JHU would not be an irregularity. Entirely my fault.)</p>
<p>As such, is JHU responsible for returning submitted bank statements in the case that the applicant is denied an offer or chooses not to enrol? I am asking this more on behalf of friends who might be applying in future than myself, since my app fee is virtually a donation by now.</p>
<p>Regards</p>
