Community college students

<p>Dear AdmissionsDaniel,</p>

<p>Do community college students have any shot at getting accepted to JHU? What I am really trying to ask is if many community college students have been accepted over the last few years.</p>

<p>Yes we accept community college students through the transfer admissions process, and yes community college students have been accepted as transfer students each year that I have been at Hopkins.</p>

<p>You have a shot!</p>

<p>I've met several transfers from community colleges.</p>

<p>From what I gather, the average accepted transfer GPA at Johns Hopkins University is 3.75. According to Washington University (although it will not be the same from college to college), for example, a "B+" GPA at a community college is the same as a "B" at a four-year university. To be competitive, does a community college student need higher than a 3.75-3.80 GPA?</p>

<p>I've met a handful of transfer students here. As far as I can tell, they're all of the same caliber as us "regular admissions" people. Most of them went to community college because of financial issues, not academic, so...</p>
