Hi AdmissionsDaniel... I'm applying RD to Hopkins and am wondering if there is a disadvantatge in using the common application instead of JHU's application. Does JHU believe that a student is more interested in Hopkins if he or she uses Hopkins' app as opposed to the Common App.? Thanks

Also: Do BME applicants have any additional essays, etc. on their application (I thought I remember seeing this in my JHU catalog but I can't find anything of the sort on the common app.)? And is it okay if my second choice major is biology, which is not in the school of engineering? Thanks

(1) We have absolutely no preference as to which type of application you use - JHU or Common, online or paper. Choose your favorite, they all look the same to us.
Will common app hurt?

(2) There is no additional information that a BME applicant has to submit. And yes, you can select an Arts & Sciences major as your second choice.

RD Applicant to JHU read this if you are interested in your application status:

As you can imagine, it’s a busy time in the Admissions Office as we process application materials. Because of the volume of records being handled, we regret that it is not yet possible to confirm whether application files are complete or to identity which individual items have been received. Johns Hopkins does not have an online system for checking application status, nor do we confirm application materials through email.



You will be mailed an acknowledgment postcard after your application is received. This indicates your application file has been opened (not necessarily that it is complete). In late February, once we have processed all received application materials, we will contact students whose applications remain incomplete. Those students will be given an opportunity to provide us with any missing items before we complete the evaluation of their applications. Rest assured that application files are checked carefully for completeness. You may call (410) 516-8171 after February 15 to check on your application, but we do ask that you call only if you have been previously contacted by us about missing materials.

Lots of recent updates. If you haven't been reading the Admissions blog, you should be.

Enjoy!

AdmissionsDaniel- I'm loving the blog! I just got started reading the Hopkins side of Collegeconfidential, and found the link to the blog- definitely, best college application blog of any college I've applied to this year. The "Meet the Readers" thing is especially interesting. So, thanks for keeping that up- it's really good!

Occassionally the post cards get lost in the mail, so you should not be concerned. If you didn't not receive an email that your application was incomplete, that you should not worry. The other way to know your application was processed is that your application fee was processed - cashed check or credit card statement.

As far as the financial aid question -- call the financial aid office ASAP. 410-516-8028.

Daniel, I noticed that on the AP credit webpage, the World History exam is listed in neither the chart of accepted exams nor the note of exempted tests. I assume it is not awarded any credit (since the other histories get no credit) but I just wanted to check with you to see if that's true.

...so is that true?

admissionsdaniel had already posted somewhere else on this forum that the school only accepts ap credits from ap exams listed on the chart
