<p>My child will not have four years of language study due to an unusual circumstance at his school. He will have two full years of honors Classical Greek and probably at least one semester of Greek at the college level. Will that be acceptable?</p>

SAT and other standardized tests do matter in the admissions review at Hopkins. In fact, EVERYTHING MATTERS. Here is what I always say about test scores … “They matter more than one wants, but less than one thinks.”</p>

Johns Hopkins University does not have an official language requirement. In general, recommended preparation for all students includes four years of each of the following subjects: English, Mathematics, Foreign Language, Science with laboratory, a History and Social Science. It is recommended that students take 5 core academic courses each year throughout high school, focusing on academic core classes over elective classes. If one chooses to discontinue the study of an academic core course, it is strongly recommended that they supplement that course with an additional course in one of the other core academic areas. Please note that these are only recommendations and not requirements. Every individual student’s own personal educational history will be taken into account when reviewing one’s course selection. Applicants should explain unusual circumstances that prevent them from taking academic core classes.</p>
<p>Do we have to send official AP score reports and IB score reports to your university when applying? I sent my SAT Scores</p>
<p>Hello I live abroad and I have not received my acceptance package (for ED) or my financial aid package yet. Is this normal?</p>
<p>pvtejasvi:
Applicants to Johns Hopkins University do not need to send official copies of their AP / IB scores by the application deadline. If you are admitted to Johns Hopkins and choose to enroll, you will then be required to have the testing agencies official send all of your AP / IB scores to our Office of Academic Advising.</p>

You should call the Admissions Office - 410-516-8171 - to request a duplicate packet be mailed. International mail does take some time, but you should have received it by now.</p>
<p>Admissions Daniel, regarding the Woodrow Wilson fellowship that my son sent in an application for—will they notify us at the same time as acceptances regarding that? Are the decisions made simultaneously or separately?</p>
<p>Yes, applicants will be notified of the Woodrow Wilson fellowship at the same time they receive their Regular Decision notification. Decisions are released simultaneously but not made simultaneously because a faculty committee selects the Woodorw Wilson fellows.</p>
<p>Thanks Sir, I was really worried until I read the message on this website. I really appreciate your help, I understand that you are busy - thanks for all the feedback. You being on this site really helps.</p>
<p>Hey there! I have a couple questions regarding the supplement for transfer students. I have previously applied while I was a senior in high school. I graduated in Spring 2008 but applied on the brink of Fall 2007, so which date should I put? Also, it asks for the year, school, and division that I applied to. By division, what exactly do they mean?</p>
<p>You put the date for which entry term you applied for. So if you applied for freshman admission to began this past fall then your term of entry that you applied for is Fall 2008. If you applied more than a year ago to start in September 2007, than your term of entry is Fall 2007. Johns Hopkins does not have application deadlines for spring admission, so the only term of entries can be Fall.</p>
<p>School refers to either the:
(1) Krieger School of Arts and Sciences
OR
(2) Whiting School of Engineering</p>
<p>Division refers to the academic program you applied to – the major you selected.</p>
<p>I sent out my application yesterday will it be too late?</p>
<p>Awesome, thanks! Will they look at my old application? I just reread my old essays and they are terribly embarrassing.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No. Your old application is archived and the Admissions Committee will not go searching for it. You will be evaluated on your new application only.</p>
<p>I just noticed a mistake on my common app. A lower composite ACT grade was entered by accident. I emailed my admissions rep and I plan to call tmrw, but I’m not sure if I notified them in time. Will admissions officers look at standardized test scores on the application or will they look at the scores on the official report?</p>
<p>This is not a problem. The email to your admissions counselor is fine. There is no need to call (by the way our office is closed on Monday). During the review of your application we concern ourselves with your official score reports, not the self-reported scores on your application.</p>
<p>Hey AdmissionsDaniel, three quick questions:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>I applied and mailed everything in before the middle of December, and still haven’t gotten the postcard yet (though I did get the financial aid email). Is that a cause for worry?</p></li>
<li><p>I’m uncertain if my SAT scores will get matched to my file, because they are registered under my previous legal name. I sent in a proof for the change, but I’m not sure if that’s sufficient. How could I confirm that they do go on my file?</p></li>
<li><p>Does JHU send out likely letters?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks so much for your time!</p>
<ol>
<li><p>No you need not worry. We are still sending out postcards and they take some time to go through the postal mail service, especially if it is being sent to an international address.</p></li>
<li><p>It is quite important when applying to Johns Hopkins University that you use your full legal name on all documents. Students need to use only one consistent full name in the application process, or there is a chance all application materials will not be processed correctly. It is the responsibility of the applicant to make sure all application materials are submitted using a consistent full legal name. If you feel that you have submitted application materials under different spellings of your name, you will need to fax (410-516-6025) a letter of explanation detailing the different names used for each specific part of your application materials.</p></li>
<li><p>No. Likely letters are not a practice that our Admissions staff supports.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks, AdmissionsDaniel!</p>
<p>I mailed in a letter of explanation, with my supplementary stuff. Would that suffice?</p>
<p>You may want to fax the letter of explanation as well, since if it was sent with other supplemental ideas it may get lost in processing.</p>
<p>AdmissionsDaniel, would it be a better idea if I got my GC to fax in copies of my SAT score reports instead? That’s a less round-about way of solving the problem, methinks. Thanks, again, for your time!</p>
