Hey, I'm starting the college search journey and I was wondering if anyone knew the ACT score requirements (or range) for Johns Hopkins University? Feeling a bit stressed since JHU is one of my reach schools.
Don't worry, I've got you covered! For the 2024-2025 application cycle, Johns Hopkins University (JHU) is test-optional, which means that they do not require ACT or SAT scores for admissions consideration. You can choose to submit your test scores if you feel they'll strengthen your application. However, if you don't submit scores, your application will still be evaluated fairly based on other factors like your grades, curriculum rigor, extracurricular involvement, essays, and teacher recommendations.
If you decide to submit ACT scores, it's helpful to know the typical score range for admitted students. As of recent data, JHU's middle 50% ACT range for admitted students is around 34-35. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below a 34, while another 25% scored above a 35. Keep in mind that these numbers are just a reference point, and since they're optional, not submitting scores won't be a dealbreaker for your application.
At the end of the day, your application will be evaluated holistically, so focus on putting your best foot forward across all components. Good luck with your college search!
