John Hopkins Prepscholar: Is it a good resource?

I recently came across John Hopkins' Prepscholar website and I'm curious to know if it's a reliable resource for admission information. Has anyone used it before? What do you think?

While Prepscholar is a popular resource that provides some helpful information about college admissions, I would recommend you cross-reference any data you find there with other sources to ensure its accuracy and reliability. For example, you may want to explore the actual Johns Hopkins University Undergraduate Admissions website, which has the most official and up-to-date information.

Additionally, other third party online resources often contain useful advice that you might not find on Prepscholar alone. If you've ever wanted to know your personal odds of acceptance at Johns Hopkins, for example, you might want to check out CollegeVine's free chancing engine: https://www.collegevine.com/admissions-calculator/

This tool accounts for all quantifiable aspects of your profile, including grades, course rigor, extracurriculars, and test scores (if you have them) to give you personalized odds of admission at Johns Hopkins (as well as hundreds of other schools around the country). The chancing engine will also give you suggestions for how to boost your chances at Johns Hopkins, for example by taking more challenging courses for the rest of high school, or earning a leadership position in one of your extracurriculars.

Additionally, CollegeVine's blog contains a detailed breakdown of Johns Hopkins' school-specific supplemental essay(s): https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-johns-hopkins-university-essays/. At highly selective schools like Johns Hopkins, knowing how to tackle the more subjective elements of your application can be what allows you to set yourself apart from even other qualified applicants.

Good luck as you research and gather information for your college applications!
