<p>are there any transfer applicants to Johns Hopkins??
please list your stats if you are.</p>

<p>my own stats aren't so good
3.6 gpa (CC)
not too many extracurric. activities (just a few clubs..i've been active though)
no honors..no awards..no nothing...
and that's about it.
oh, i had a 780 in math2C but i've never taken sat I before (not required for transfer applicants for johns hopkins)
i know it's gonna be tough
i don't think i'd get in but i still might have a chance so i'm just taking a shot.</p>

<p>hmm..it's so sad :(</p>

<p>I applied as well.... </p>

<p>my stats-
3.3 at NYU (ouch :)</p>

<p>College ECs: Explorations Residential Community, Ballroom and Latin Dance Team, Habitat for Humanity, AMSA</p>

<p>H.S. GPA: 4.0 (rank 2/150)</p>

i also wanna know if they send out their decisions by email...
(i know they do for freshmen ED)

5

<p>and also, any ideas on how many usually apply and about how many get accepted??</p>

6

<p>Last year, about 100 out of 800 were accepted. 40 enrolled.</p>

7

<p>100 out of 800?? wow...
they said there were around 400~500 applicants each year
but then 800??
unbelievable... it's gonna be harder than i thought!</p>

<p>Last year, it was June 2 before my S heard. They had said late May, but it was actually a little later. Tough to wait that long, I know.</p>

<p>We first heard by calling (as he had other schools whose response deadline was looming or past). Letter came soon after. Don't recall there being any email. </p>

<p>Obviously, it could be different this year. Last year I think they were behind their own planned schedule; don't know whether that happens often or not.</p>

<p>thanks for the info jmmom... i was wondering, did your son actually transfer to johns hopkins? if so, how was the transition process, and how helpful was JHU to the new transfer students?</p>

10

<p>Ok, i dont know why ANYONE would apply to Johns hopkins unless you are a pre-med, international relations or engineering major. Jhu sucks at liberal arts!</p>

<p>Actually, the liberal arts are amazing at Hopkins. Hopkins has one of the most highly ranked English departments in the nation...I believe it is # 7 or 8. Check out the Gourman Report, which is highly respected in academia, and ranks the various departments of colleges and universities. Art History is also a standout, as are most other departments.</p>

<p>Yes, there are several discussions of the the strength of various humanities departments on other threads. You can search them.</p>

<p>Dancergal, yes he did transfer there. I think everyone's transition process as a transfer is so different that I don't know if his personal transition is that instructive. He/we found the various depts. very easy to work with (Engineering, housing...). He got what I consider a good housing assignment in a suite with other non-transfer sophomores. His roommate was a helpful entree into activities, friends to hang with, etc.</p>
