Yo folks! Looking to apply next year to JHU, just wondering what kinda GPA most admitted students have? Would appreciate a littly clarity on this.
According to the most recent information available, Johns Hopkins University has a pretty competitive academic profile, with the average unweighted high school GPA of admitted students typically around a 3.93 on a 4.0 scale. Note, though, that this is an average, so students could be admitted with GPAs that are both lower and higher than this.
However, keep in mind that GPA isn't the only thing that Johns Hopkins (or any selective school, for that matter) looks at. They conduct a holistic review of each application, taking into account a variety of factors including course rigor, SAT/ACT scores (as of the 2024-2025 application cycle, JHU is still test-optional), letters of recommendation, essays, and extracurricular activities.
So while GPA is important, it's also critical to present yourself as a well-rounded candidate by excelling in several areas. For example, demonstrate leadership and commitment in your extracurricular activities, or showcase intellectual curiosity and advanced knowledge in your chosen field of study.
Good luck as you prepare for the application process!
