how much does ED increase your chances at JHU?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Johns Hopkins University

Hello

My grades aren’t exactly at the top end of the scale so I wanted to apply ED to increase my chances. However I have a few dilemmas:

  1. I have been hearing that ED acceptance rates are inflated and doesn't really improve your chances much. Apparently the figures are due to the legacies and athletes. How credible is this?
  2. I am taking my subject tests for the first time in nov, and I have no idea whether they will arrive in time for JHU.
  3. I'm an international student so perhaps the ED acceptance rates don't even apply to me?

Finance is not a concern

I’d appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

The thing about ED is that it usually also includes athletes so the early acceptance rate I believe is slightly inflated (mainly because of lacrosse). And you can send additional information (for your Subject test scores) later on but you would have to hurry because most ED applicants have multiple subject test scores by Nov.1. I am also applying early to Hopkins, good luck!
