I'm considering JHU for my undergrad, but I'm not clear on their testing policies. Can anyone help clarify - does Johns Hopkins require you to submit SAT scores?
Johns Hopkins University is test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle. This means that you have the choice to either submit your SAT scores or not. If you feel your SAT score is strong and it reflects a significant part of your academic ability, you can choose to include it in your application.
But, if you feel that your SAT scores do not accurately represent your academic capabilities or for some other reason you couldn't take the test, you can choose not to submit them. Then, more emphasis will be placed on your high school grades, the rigor of your curriculum, extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, and essays. Be sure to present these aspects of your application strongly, especially if you decide not to include an SAT score.
Remember to stay updated on the university's policies as they can change from year to year.
