How to Submit Your Application

Once you begin your application, you may log-in at any time to complete and submit your application. Complete and answer all required questions and upload all required materials. Applications must be submitted by the degree program’s posted deadline. View the chart below for application deadlines by degree program; all dates are valid for applications submitted for 2023 start terms.

After your application has been submitted, log in to your status portal to check the receipt of all materials on your requirements checklist.

Application Submitted vs Application Complete

You will see a confirmation page once the application is successfully submitted. Our application system takes approximately 60 minutes to refresh after submission before all supporting materials display as received. You will receive a confirmation email that your application has been successfully submitted, and an additional email when your application is complete with all required materials, including letters of recommendation and official test scores, which may arrive later.

Application Materials

All application materials must be submitted directly in the application portal and are due at the time of submission. Official test scores, credential evaluations, and letters of recommendation will automatically populate to an application, even after submission.

We do not accept updated or replacement materials after submission or via email. This policy includes but is not limited to:

Unofficial Transcripts: Many applicants apply with partial or “incomplete” transcripts while in the process of completing a degree; programs are aware of this and utilize a holistic review of all materials submitted.

Self-reported Test Scores: If scores were submitted with your application, we will not include an additional self-reported test date. You are welcome to send additional verified scores directly from the testing agency, which will populate automatically to your application after a delay of up to 14 days. Be aware, if new scores arrive after review begins, they may not be considered.

Supporting Documents: This can include Resume/CV, Statement of Purpose, Personal Statement, Sample of Work, or additional materials beyond what has been requested in the application. Programs will only review the required materials requested in the application, and applicants are responsible for ensuring their documents are accurate before submission. Examples can include: a recently published paper, adding a new internship to resume, or a typo found in a supporting material.

Official Test Score(s) Delay

Programs will use unofficial test scores for review while awaiting officials scores from the Testing Agency. Official scores have a delay of up to 14 days between requesting official scores and when they are received by our application system. If your name formatting, date of birth, or email differs between your Testing Agency account(s) and your application account, scores may not populate to your application.

If it has been more than 2 full weeks since requesting official scores, contact Engineering Graduate Admissions with your full name, application reference number, and the following information typed directly into the body of your email to verify scores: (1) GRE registration number to verify ETS scores sent to code 4655; (2) TOEFL appointment number to verify ETS scores sent to code C559; (3) IELTS test report form number to verify IETLS scores sent to code Johns Hopkins, Whiting School of Engineering.

Decisions

Application reviews are conducted directly by the degree program you applied for. Most programs do not begin review until after the deadline for submission has passed. Some programs wait to release decisions until all applications are reviewed.

Once a decision has been made, you will receive an email sent to the address registered with your application account to check the status update in your online portal. Contact the program you applied to directly for a specific timeline estimate.
