<p>anything engineering or med-related? Is applying for a humanities major easier to get into? Significantly?</p>
<p>Thanks yall</p>
<p>Short answer - No. BME is an exception; you apply to the BME program, but you may still get admitted to Hopkins but not the BME program. </p>
<p>Long answer - [Intended</a> Major in the Admissions process?](<a href=“http://forums.hopkins-interactive.com/topic/563310/1/]Intended”>http://forums.hopkins-interactive.com/topic/563310/1/)
To quote Admissions_Daniel: "Applicants to Johns Hopkins University do not apply to a specific school nor a specific major. All applicants are applying to the full undergraduate university, and all applicants are held to the same standards. Upon enrollment, a student can choose the major or majors they are interested in pursuing across the Whiting School of Engineering and Krieger School of Arts and Sciences.</p>
<p>The one exception to this rule is the Biomedical Engineering major:</p>
<p>Please note this important policy: Students wishing to enroll in the biomedical engineering (BME) major must indicate BME as their first-choice major on their application. Students are admitted specifically into the BME major, based on evaluation of credentials and space available.</p>
<p>Students can be admitted to the university without acceptance to the BME major. No separate application is required. Notification of acceptance into the BME major is given at the time of decision notification. A limited number of transfer majors for matriculated students may be available through the Biomedical Engineering Department at the close of each academic year."</p>
<p>Thanksd @hopkid for posting my previous response to this question. And as we finalize admissions decisions this year I can once again attest that a student applying for a humanities major is getting as much of a discerning review as students applying for engineering or natural sciences or social sciences.</p>
