Hi all, I'm planning for my college applications and Johns Hopkins is high up on my list. Just wondering, does anyone know their acceptance rate? And is the admissions process more rigorous?
Johns Hopkins University is indeed a highly selective institution. For the class of 2025, the acceptance rate was around 6.8%, making it one of the most competitive schools in the country.
The admissions process at Johns Hopkins, like most highly selective universities, is comprehensive and considers various aspects of an applicant's profile. They examine your academic achievements such as grades, the rigor of your high school curriculum, and test scores (Johns Hopkins remains test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle). In addition, they also assess your extracurricular involvement, leadership experiences, letters of recommendation, and your application essays.
To increase your chances of admission, focus not just on having a strong academic record, but also on exhibiting a well-developed specialty or a 'spike' in your application, showcasing significant achievement or leadership in a specific area. Good luck with your applications!
