<p>I'm looking to transfer to Johns Hopkins as an Econ major. Most of the information I found online is a little outdated, so I wanted to found out a little more. I'm going into my sophomore year. I had to transfer out of my first school after the first semester of freshman year due to family issues. I still made a 3.71. At my state's flagship university second semester, I earned a 3.786 in the business school. I am also in the honors college. As far as EC's go, I am a member of a fraternity, the finance society, and volunteered with an Autism Speaks event that raised over $50k. I also started my own landscaping business and worked full time at the world headquarters of a major company. I guess my question is how difficult is it to transfer into the Johns Hopkins as an Econ major? Does it look like I have a solid shot? Anything else you'd recommend me doing in the next semester before I apply to increase my chances? Thanks a lot in advance!</p>
<p>Very tough as the transfer acceptance rate is around 9%. Transfer usually have superb GPAs but more importantly a compelling story for transferring (i.e., what can Hopkins offer you besides the name and what differentiates what you’ll do with the opportunities afforded to you by Hopkins versus your current school)</p>
