Hey peeps! I've always dreamt of attending Johns Hopkins. I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight: what GPA do they typically look for in the college admission process? Thanks in advance!
Hello! The GPA requirement for Johns Hopkins admission indeed sets the bar high. For instance, for the class of 2024, around 97% of the admitted students had a GPA of 3.9 or higher.
However, remember that just a high GPA isn't what gets you through the door; Johns Hopkins University does use the holistic process for admission consideration. This means apart from GPA, they also evaluate your AP/IB classes, SAT/ACT scores, extracurriculars, essays, letters of recommendation, interviews, and other factors.
So, while a high GPA is definitely beneficial, you should focus on presenting as full and diverse a profile as possible. Admissions officers at Johns Hopkins are looking for students who can thrive academically and contribute meaningfully to the campus community.
Good luck with your application process!
