<p>I'm sorry. People may have already asked this question a million times.
But...
How hard is it to get there?
I'm in 10th grade right now. The beginning of first semester, so I have a long way ahead of me. (I think)</p>
<p>How did YOU get into JHU?</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>I haven’t gotten into JHU, I’m applying, but I’ll give you an overview from apply.jhu.edu: 18000+ applicants applied, 20% were admitted, ~40% of the admitted enrolled, average SAT score 2100-2300, average ACT ~32-34, they recommend three subject tests. </p>
<p>So in short, it’s incredibly hard to get in, but if you start young, put passion into every bit of your work, then you are bound to be a strong candidate.</p>
<p>Hope that helps!</p>
<p>Your odds are much better if you apply ED. I got in as a transfer, but that’s the hard way to do it.</p>
<p>thnks
but what do you mean by ED?</p>
<p>Early Decision. It’s one of three plans offered by a majority of colleges nowadays. Early decision is a binding plan that ensures that, if you are accepted, you are required to attend that college. Early Action is non binding, meaning that you would get your decision earlier, but you can consider your other colleges that you applied to. Single choice early action is non binding, but you may only apply to one college under that early plan.</p>
<p>So in summary:
Early decision: Binding, one college application
Early action: non binding, multiple colleges
Single Choice Early action: non binding one college application</p>
<p>JHU offers only Early Decision.</p>
<p>if you’re from Maryland, you can use your ED on Hopkins and go RD with UMCP if you don’t get in ED. I think that gives you a good spread.</p>
<p>since i’m not from Maryland, the non resident fees are probably high.
so, I’m still considering JH. </p>
<p>thnks though.
I never knew about the ED option.</p>
<p>It’s a great way to show your desire to attend</p>
