JHU says they did not get my SAT scores

<p>I called them earlier and they said my app was complete.</p>

<p>On Friday, I get an email saying the SAT/ACT scores are missing, and that my GC should fax them. I plan on doing this as soon as I get to school on Monday, but the weird thing is that, on the CB site, it says they were sent on 12/16.</p>

<p>Has this happened to anyone else?</p>

<p>yeah, same thing happened with tufts for me</p>

<p>i just sent them again and it was fine, in fact, i actually called collegeboard and made them send it again for free</p>

<p>yeh I got the same message on fri. I thought I had sent it, and I have a receipt of it being sent. Really weird</p>

<p>i got the same message aswell, i'm thinking they lost a batch of sat reports.</p>

<p>I called them 2 weeks ago and they told me that my app was complete... weird</p>

<p>Occassionally when processing nearly 14,000 applications items will go missing, be misfiled, or never process correctly. In terms of standardized test scores, two of the most common errors are (1) submitting test scores under a slightly different name or (2) submitting test scores to the wrong Johns Hopkins school. </p>

<p>Whatever the situation is, if you receive an email stating your test scores are missing you should follow the instructions in the email:</p>

<p>"Missing SAT/ACT Scores: Have your guidance counselor fax either a copy of your standardized test score report or documentation of your standardized test scores to one of the fax numbers noted above. All missing items, can be returned by fax to (410) 516-6025 or (410) 516-6285."</p>

<p>You may also contact the Operations Department at <a href="mailto:gotojhu@jhu.edu">gotojhu@jhu.edu</a> with any questions.</p>

<p>They said I didn't pay. My parents assured me way back in january they paid the fee. Must take care of this on Monday....:eek:</p>

<p>As far as missing application fees, there can always be a few errors in processing. If you are sure you submitted the application fee, please contact Debbie Riley in our Operations Department at <a href="mailto:driley3@jhu.edu">driley3@jhu.edu</a>.</p>

<p>well, they said my sat scores were missing too....and then this:</p>

<p>"If you do not intend to complete your file and wish to be withdrawn from consideration, please fax us a letter stating your intentions."</p>

<p>hah!! well i dont want to criticize...they are the ones who lost it and there is something about this sentence that i found "rude"..
why would i want to withdraw????....i love jhu.</p>

<p>It's probably just a form letter - lots of people start applications to colleges, decide they no longer want to apply and never send in the rest of the app, leaving the admissions offices with half completed apps and no idea whether the rest of the app was lost in the mail or if the student just decided to not apply.</p>

<p>a<em>ravin</em>hurt...the e-mail you received is a mass e-mail. There are many students who receive that e-mail whose applications are incomplete and they have no plans to complete their files. By requesting from these students that they withdraw their application, we then are aware of who really are the true applicants to consider for admission.</p>

<p>If we did not include this "rude?" line then a number of "admit" decisions may be offered to students who had no plans on ever enrolling at Hopkins. </p>

<p>One last piece of advice, is not to take mass e-mails personally -- these e-mails are written to address all situations.</p>

<p>thanks for the info Admissionsdaniel.</p>

<p>I asked my GC to fax a copy of my Score report. It should have reached or will reach soon (atleast Should reach soon) :D</p>

<p>i wonder how JHU handles our application. i didn't recerive anything or any type of account to check my admission status, except for a postcard to thank my interest in JHU.
If there are SAT scores missing, we should have been notified earlier, not at the beginning of march on a friday. I sent both of my sat scores and CSS profile at the beginning of december. They are all under one legal name and sent to the JHU in MD (i checked the school code on the JHU website and the CB website). </p>

<p>It's a little disappointing to hear "Occassionally when processing nearly 14,000 applications items will go missing, be misfiled, or never process correctly." The admission offices in colleges are dealing applicants' futures at some degree. We all pay and hope our applications could be processed properly. We understand mistakes will occur, but we hope they could be found earlier so that we can fix them together with admission offices. </p>

<p>btw, i can't think of any other colleges that are as good as JHU don't offer accounts for applicants to check application status. oh..my bad, JHU offers one for financial aid documents.</p>

<p>yep. ISIS is damn good. one of the best Ive used</p>

<p>antarius, praising ISIS in every post wont get you anywhere :D</p>

<p>He praised it once . . . and what the heck is wrong with praising ISIS? Did you have to single him out for that?</p>

<p>umm... a<em>ravin</em>hurt, I am aware of that.. Just appreciating and crediting summat where credit is due</p>

<p>and thanks canadaeh... I did post it once elsewhere too though... I think</p>

<p>Peace :)</p>

<p>So the question was raised why does JHU not offer an online account to check application status?</p>

<p>Well, we do have the ISIS system for financial aid and despite a few flaws it is working quite well this year. As for an admissions portal, well it is in the works and we hope (with our fingers crossed tightly) that we will have a system in place for the next applicant cycle. </p>

<p>Unfortunately, it has been difficult adapting our applicant database system to provide an online application status system. This is a priority and when (and not until when) all the kinks are ironed out, then we will launch a system for Admissions applications too.</p>
