There have been a number of questions the past few days about how to check if the JHU Admissions Office has received all of your application materials and whether your ED application is complete. Here is what you need to know…

(1) DO NOT CALL OR EMAIL YET!!!
The Operations team is still receiving, opening, and processing mail from ED applicants. This is a process that will take this entire week. As you can imagine with over a 1000 ED applications and a lot of RD applications arriving, there is a lot of mail to sort through. PATIENCE.

(2) WHAT CONFIRMATION YOU WILL RECEIVE
Once your application (online or paper) is entered into the database system a Blue postcard will be mailed out. It can take upwards of two weeks for these postcards to go through the Hopkins mail system and then the US postal service (obviously a greater delay for international mail). PATIENCE.

(3) WHAT IF SOMETHING IS MISSING
You will be contacted. If something is missing to complete your ED application the Operations team will contact you via email with regard to what is missing. This process has begun and will continue throughout the next week. If you don’t receive an email then assume your application is complete. PATIENCE.

(4) IF YOU MUST CALL…
…then please wait until next week. Then call 410-516-8171. Do not contact your regional Admissions counselor – they are busy reading app. files.

(5) WHAT ABOUT FINANCIAL AID
If you applied for financial aid you will receive an email with an ID number. It can take up to two weeks for financial aid applications to be received, processed, and for the ID email to be sent. PATIENCE

So the common theme is this…
PATIENCE. You will be contacted if something is missing.
