<p>I attended a Hopkins college visit at my school this fall and I just loved everything the admissions rep had to say about the school.</p>
<p>So I'm wondering, how selective/competitive is it really to get into? I know it's like this amazingly presitigious school and everything, but do you know what exactly they look for in an applicant or what they'd like to see specifically?</p>
<p>I hear ED acceptance rates are quite high, so if you are very serious about John's Hopkins, you should do it.</p>
<p>JHU:
Number of early decision applications received: 997
Number admitted under early decision plan: 447
% ED JHU Accepted: 45% (Duke 41%, Northwestern 43%, UChicago 45%, Cornell 35%)</p>
<p>Acceptance rate wise, it may be "easier" to get in via ED since less ppl apply and that is where the bulk of the acceptances overall come from, it is highly competitive, and Hopkins' ED acceptance rate is comparable with school of similar caliber.</p>
<p>You should ask this in the Hopkins forum to get a more precise and exact response to your question.</p>
<p>Perhaps SATs are better way to tell how selective JHU is. The 25th and 75th percentile run about 1290-1490 for CR and math total. Definitely among the 20 most selective universities in the country.</p>
<p>Depends on the program.</p>
<p>Biomedical Engineering and Premed, it's one tough **** considering it's #1 in the country. You need to be HYP level to even think about applying there.</p>
<p>The rest is considerably less selective, but still quite difficult.</p>

<p>Bull. I have a friend in the 3.6 range whom was admitted.
It may be uber-selective, but numbers shouldn't stand in the way of a dream.</p>
<p>“but numbers shouldn’t stand in the way of a dream”
hmmm powerful :p</p>
<p>Ugh, I can’t believe I wrote that.</p>
<p>Well, Miss Montana is at Yale now. Looks like the love was just a passing interest.</p>
<p>I remember the OP… she was class of 09, same as me and in the end was deciding between Brown PLME and Yale. Safe to say she had insane stats and probably got into JHU easily.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>according to whom…</p>
<p>You posted this in 09…</p>
<p>*
Stanford [EA] - accepted
UWashington StL - waitlisted
Duke - rejected
Georgetown University - rejected
Vanderbilt - rejected
Colgate - waitlisted… *</p>
<p>Are you a transfer student from Yale??</p>
<p>No, because she posted this thread in 2008. Wahkimoocow resurrected it yesterday for some reason.</p>
