<p>I hear JH is all about math and science(which I love!)
I am in the top percent(esp. math and science)
However, all of my extracurriculars are arts,opera,piano,musical theatre.
32 act, 4.0 UW, 4.7 W. plenty of extra,volunteering,salutitorian, excellent essay and rec.
Can I still get accepted even though I am not a math geek(?no offence:])</p>

<p>Johns Hopkins is pretty big in the music field.</p>
<p>wow.
I had no idea…
Thanks:)</p>
<p>No problem. Glad I could help.</p>
<p>I consider myself an artist, but as others on the forum (and at school) can attest, I am very much a math geek. I actually sent in photos of some of my work as a supplemental piece of my application when I applied. I don’t know if it helped, but it shows that there are artsy people here. Although, I must be honest and say that I have stopped doing art here in the traditional sense-and altogether unless you want to consider reams of scrap paper art.</p>
<p>Just to expand a bit more on your options - you can either apply to the dual degree program, which is basically doing an undergrad degree in music and one in somethign else at the same time. It’s quite difficult to get into since you have to be accepted into Hopkins and into the Peabody Conservatory and they have to think you’ll be able to handle the double load. (A good number of people are accepted to both schools but not to the dual degree program, I believe). You could also apply to Hopkins, and while at Hopkins, make use of the resources from Peabody. You can take private lessons, take music courses for credit, join the chrous or orchestra etc. </p>
<p>(When I say “Hopkins” I mean the undergrad programs in Arts and Sciences, and in Engineering)</p>
<p>Double degrees are super ****ing hard and hardly anyone does them. I know one kid who was doing them, but he was like FTS and went to peabody.</p>
<p>You don’t need to go to Peabody to keep up the arts stuff, there are tons of opportunities to get involved in the arts at Hopkins! Whether it be through an arts-focused group, such as an a cappella group, theatre group, or the actual Art Club, or for another not artsy club that needs artistic things done like murals and poster designs, art is definitely going on at JHU. I’m fairly convinced that my artistic background is what got me into Hopkins, even though I’m not studying art. Definitely tell admissions all about what you’ve done! </p>
<p>You can get a Homewood Arts Certificate if you take enough classes in the arts. This isn’t a minor, but it’s the closest thing we have.</p>

<p>I also noticed that theatre is not a major at Hopkins.
I wanted to do a double major of Biology and Theatre. Is there any way that will change?haha This reason is my biggest problem to even considering Hopkins.</p>
<p>Right now, there is only a minor in theater–a program affiliated with the Writing Seminars department. The head of the program–John Astin–is working to make theater a separate department and major. I don’t know if he will succeed or not. I suspect, like most everything else, its a matter of finding sufficient funding.</p>
