was there a real extension to JHU's app?

<p>if yes, does anyone have the official confirmation?</p>

<p>Johns Hopkins will accept late applications anytime this month as long as a fee is included (not a waiver). They have so many thousands of applications to sort out so it's not really a big deal. You really won't be at a disadvantage this month because JHU doesn't make final decisions until the mid year grades come in anyway... JHU, like most schools want to receive as many applications as possible before the mid year grade reports start coming in...</p>

<p>um...what? And you know this how Ritchie? JHU stops accepting apps 2 weeks after the deadline not "anytime this month".</p>

<p>I've contacted an admission counselor from JHU, and she told me that the deadline was extended to the 21st. You do not need an included fee if you have a fee waiver.</p>

<p>so do i call them for a fee wiaver or will they have it in their record already. I already submitted my app.</p>

<p>...of course they welcome late applications- they generally bring in money and increase selectivity. Just send in your application as soon as possible if you are interested! Don't worry about what they say on the phone- you can't expect them, or any college, to admit they won't accept applications past the deadline.</p>

<p>No they don't. Read top post: <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/kalyan3/177916.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.livejournal.com/users/kalyan3/177916.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>well hes applying to grad school.</p>

<p>The same policies apply to undergrad.</p>

<p>i applied by the 1/21, so it should be all good :)</p>

<p>and you know this because....</p>

<p>don't you CC posters ever read other people's post?</p>

<p>"I've contacted an admission counselor from JHU, and she told me that the deadline was extended to the 21st. "</p>

<p>honestly, do you need me to forward the email?</p>

<p>Extending the deadline is very unfair for people who turned in their applications on time. I'm sure many of those who followed the deadline could have improved their app if they knew of the extension.</p>

<p>Although I think JHU is just saying they will accept late apps to get your money and increase their selectivity.</p>

<p>lol no i was replying to a comment above you sorry ( to johnkgh) ! I know when the deadline was !</p>

<p>Anyway I have fee waiver for the deadline paul. And i DO think its unair too.</p>

<p>the world is unfair. oh well. hard work is not always proportional to rewards.</p>

<p>Yes, i know the world is unfair. However what JHU did was inappropriate.
Well, i should probably just let it go since most probably I won't be attending JHU.</p>

<p>dude withdraw yourapplication then !! jeezes !</p>
