<p>Does any one know JHU's admission rate this year yet?</p>
<p>27 percent of the applicant pool, composed of more ED than normal and less RD than normal. Because of JH’s high sticker price and low FA, they needed to be sure that they could get kids to come and pay in this recession.</p>
<p>[Johns</a> Hopkins Gazette | April 6, 2009](<a href=“http://www.jhu.edu/~gazette/2009/06apr09/06admissions.html]Johns”>http://www.jhu.edu/~gazette/2009/06apr09/06admissions.html)</p>
<p>Read the gazette, it’s pretty baller.</p>
<p>From the article, it seems like 26%</p>
<p>From the article, it says: Along with the 502 early decision admits from the fall (up 14 percent from last year), this makes for an admitted class of 4,319, or 27 percent of the applicant pool. </p>
<p>You must have just seen the 4319 and the 16122, which when divided would yield 26.789%. Which only seems like 26 if you’re trying to make JH seem just 1 % more elite.</p>

if you hate JHU why didn’t you transfer??</p>
<p>I put in. Hopefully fall 2009 I won’t be there!</p>
<p>Almost all privately endowed schools had a similar admissions strategy this year due to the economy. Hopkins is one of the few that actually had an increase in applications. Nonetheless, it is only prudent to expect that the economy will have an effect on yield because Hopkins, like all top privates, is more expensive than most publics. Financial Aid sometimes eliminates this difference, but not always.</p>
