ISIS ID For FinAid

<p>I just got an email from the office of Student FInancial Services, but I think they screwed up the computer generated email thingy?</p>

<p>It’s addressed
Dear {CMN<em>Persons</em>_FirstName},</p>

<p>and my ISIS ID is given as
ISIS ID: {CMN<em>Persons</em>_Identifier1}</p>

<p>Did the auto mailer at the office go whacky?
Thanks</p>

<p>Yep, I got the same problem.</p>

<p>Seems like the mail merger program got screwed up.</p>

<p>Let us wait for corrections.</p>

<p>Yeah I got the same thing.</p>

<p>me too. i sent them an email but im sure they will get like 50,000 of them so i would expect another round soon.</p>

<p>i sent my 04 tax returns today, and i called them about the glitch with the ISIS ID #, and the finaid office just looked up my ID-- all you need is your social security number–takes 3 minutes, tops</p>

<p>cool</p>

<p>I thought it was ome code and tried figuring it out… I emailed them though</p>

<p>i dont have a social security number.</p>

<p>well, just wait… it will come soon</p>

<p>yes … email them and wait… and they will tell you themselves…</p>

<p>You’d figure, being Johns Hopkins University, they could figure this out.</p>

<p>AdminDaniel, any news?</p>

<p>yeah, seriously, I am getting a little nervous.</p>

<p>JHU is now the only university i havent heard off… i mean all other have told me either by email or post or even online… can somebody guide me through…admissiondaniel…?</p>

<p>Patience and understanding please – it is not easy to process over 13,000 applications. No need to be rude.</p>

<p>As far as the ISIS ID from Fin. Aid, clearly there was a problem with the database and its generating of the email. Contact the financial aid office at <a href=“mailto:fin_aid@jhu.edu”>fin_aid@jhu.edu</a> or 410-516-8028 if you do not have your information. And yes, they have received a lot of emails so just be patient. </p>

<p>As far as checking application status, you must call 410-516-8171. You need to speak with a person, don’t just listen to the messages. The phones are answered weekdays from 9:00am - 4:30pm Eastern Standard Time. They will only confirm if your application has been received and if required documents are missing.</p>

<p>Should I call or wait a few more days?</p>

<p>I have not heard anything yet.</p>

<p>takes 3 minutes, just call, if you don’t mind the long distance phone charges</p>

<p>agreed…
The message is massive, so calling from abroad is quite a big bill :D</p>

<p>I called in today and the admission office told me that my application still is incomplete …</p>

<p>also well my financial aid ISID which I received to day showed missing docs which are required of US citizens… Since i am an international it didn’t apply to me. On calling the finaid office the thing has been changed… So is it that my application is being shown incomplete because of that … and due to this only my Financial aid documents are still missing…
Also , I have been told we will soon receive emails over what are missing documents in the application, so that means we can wait i guess for that.</p>

<p>got an emauil with my ISIS ID… finally…</p>

<p>I sent FAFSA 2 weeks ago but it isnt there … they havent got it apparently</p>

<p>Me too. It says they got my FAFSA, but its not complete. What does that mean?</p>
