Johns Hopkins Financial Aid. Does this mean anything?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Stanford University

I applied to Johns Hopkins RD as a freshmen applicant, and I also signed up for financial aid. Weirdly enough, it says that they haven’t received every file from my idoc despite it clearly saying that all files have been processed and received by my schools, but that’s besides the point.

Today, I just got a email saying that they’re missing my 2018 1040 for my non-custodial parent, blah, blah, blah, I’ve gotten two of these email reminders already, but today’s was different. It was directly sent from the office of Student Financial aid. The two prior emails were just plain, black, Arial-font text. This one has different fonts, their logo, and a photo of John’s Hopkins front campus (I think) with their gates opened.

Then I read this sentence and I got shocked:

“When you applied to Johns Hopkins University, our records show you asked to be considered for financial aid. We know how busy you are and your senior year is flying by! But we still don’t have all the documents we need to process your request before the March 13th decision date.”

Is this hinting at a acceptance?!?!

^ And keep in mind my financial aid applications were all due nearly 2 months ago on January 15th…

No, it means the FA office doesn’t have the documents they need, and should you be accepted, you might not get FA because you haven’t completed the FA application. If you have provided the documents, find out where the problem is.

Also you posted this under Stanford!

Unfortunately there is likely no correlation (though I completely understand the tendency to relate the two).

The reason I say this is bc Hopkins is need-blind, so the two offices don’t necessarily know what each other are doing (by design). Good luck though!
