Is Johns Hopkins University test optional?

I've heard a lot of schools became test optional due to the pandemic, and I was wondering if Johns Hopkins is currently test optional. If so, do they plan to continue being test optional in the future? Any info would be appreciated!

Yes, Johns Hopkins University is currently test optional. They initially adopted this policy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and they have kept it in place in the years since.

At the moment, it is not clear whether Johns Hopkins will continue to be test optional beyond the current admissions cycle. Universities are regularly reevaluating their testing policies, so it's essential to keep an eye on any updates from the school. You can monitor their website and their official admissions-related communications for any changes to their testing policy in the future.

However, at an institution as selective as Johns Hopkins, you generally want to demonstrate your strengths in as many ways as possible. Since the margins between two students are so slim, investing time and energy into aiming for a high SAT or ACT score would likely be worth your while.
