<p>Is it just me or does the Johns</a> Hopkins University Office of Undergraduate Admissions - On-Campus Visits - Admissions Interviews form not let me schedule a time (even after I've input every field?)</p>
<p>I’m guessing it’s because all of the spaces are taken already? That would be my guess.</p>
<p>If you don’t get an interview, don’t worry about it. I didn’t interview nor did I try to get one. Admitted RD a few years ago.</p>
<p>Actually, I would guess it’s a programming bug that’s not letting you advance to January 2011. Call the admissions office to schedule an interview and email the person listed on [this</a> page](<a href=“http://apply.jhu.edu/contact/contact.html]this”>http://apply.jhu.edu/contact/contact.html) for “Send feedback about this site” as he’s the person who can likely fix the issue</p>
<p>According to their site: </p>
<p>Seniors applying Early Decision: Interviews are available in the fall; the opportunity to interview has concluded for the 2010-2011 application cycle.</p>
<p>Seniors applying Regular Decision: Interviews are held in February; the request form is available now.</p>
<p>It doesn’t appear that interviews are available in January for RD applicants. Tanman is right though - you can call to see what’s up.</p>
<p>The spots aren’t taken up - I moved forward to the months of March and April and even May and they wouldn’t let me click a date (just checking). I highly doubt they would be booked for that many days. </p>
<p>I am thinking it’s a programming error. Thanks for the help!</p>
<p>Hmm after some further looking, they might actually be filled up. I didn’t realize earlier that they don’t enable the calendar until you pick a graduation year. If you pick a year that makes you a high school junior, then you’re able to pick dates in March and April, but no dates appear to be available for high school seniors and recent graduates. I would call the office to confirm/see if they can fit you in.</p>
<p>believe it or not, people will CANCEL their appointment & a spot will open up.
happens before.Reasons: students who have made appt got accepted elsewhere or they got the flu / sick / parents car broke down/ can’t make the travel plan etc etc.
so I suggest keep checking & w/ luck, an appointment spot will open up.</p>
<p>You might want to consider requesting an alumni interview. On campus interviews are with student volunteers, not admissions officers. Alumni interviewers are more mature (or at least older:) ),have often done interviews for years and often are well known to the admissions office, and they usually do far fewer interviews than on-campus student interviewers which means that they probably spend more time filling out the interview evaluation. Certainly, there is no downside to an alumni interview compared to an on-campus one.</p>
<p>Interviews are not required and because not everyone can be accomodated with an interview, they are not a critical piece of the admissions packet. That said, they pretty much can only help. At they very least, asking for an interview demonstrates a certain seriousness of interest.</p>
<p>I called the Admissions dept today and the person there said that you cannot yet schedule for an RD on-campus interview yet even though the online form is there.
You can always sign up for an off-campus alumni interview at any time. This is probably the better path to take anyway.</p>
<p>I scheduled my interview like a month ago and I visited on the 8th for more info and they thought I wanted to schedule one then and said interview slots were filled sorry but good luck!</p>
