JHU Pre-med Ave GPA

Colleges and Universities A-Z Johns Hopkins University

JHU has been my one of my top schools, but after being accepted and calling them, it seems that nobody there keeps track of students’ average GPA and MCAT score when it comes to applying to medical school, which doesn’t make sense to me.

So that’s why I’m here. I’m absolutely positive that I won’t get the most accurate information by going to a thread like this, but it’s certainly going to give me more information than JHU’s Pre-Prof. office (I tried admissions and the registrar’s office too).

The reason I ask is because I have heard that JHU’s students’ average GPA’s are lower than other top tier institutions that grade-inflate, and I don’t want that to screw me over for medical school. And I don’t want to hear any comments like, “At JHU, you get the satisfaction of working hard and earning your grades rather than having them grade-inflated,” because that’s all BS.

So, for those of you who go to JHU or have accurate info, what is the typical GPA of a pre-med student at JHU? How hard is it to maintain a high GPA for med school at JHU?

After a little bit of persistence, I got some info in case anyone was wondering, through which the pre-prof office turned out to be helpful, so I guess I shouldn’t be too harsh on them:

“For fall 2014, the mean cumulative GPA for JHU’s accepted applicants was 3.66. The mean cumulative GPA for all undergraduates nationally was 3.72.”

Which means that JHU’s students are accepted to med schools with lower GPA’s… interesting.
