JHU's SAT policy

<p>From this set of test scores, what scores will JHU consider during review?</p>

<p>Old
1450: 710m 740v
1450: 780m 670v</p>

<p>New
1980: 760m 570cr 650wr
1960: 790m 570cr 600wr</p>

<p>Would they take composite? (790m + 740v + 650wr = 2180)
I didn't take SAT2 Writing, and I'm applying BME.</p>

<p>Hopefully they'll focus on my math and science SAT2's, which are pretty high. I'm just worried about my critical reading scores...</p>

<p>Hopkins doesn't require any SATII's. I don't know if that means they won't look at them, but I wouldn't count on them for a significant boost.</p>

<p>I hope you don't mind me asking, but how did you do so well on the old SAT verbal and so poorly on the new critical reading? 740 to 570.</p>

<p>Standardized Test Requirements</p>

<p>New Hopkins policy for standardized test requirements
Beginning in the spring of 2005, the SAT and ACT adopted new testing formats. This means that starting with the fall 2006 entering freshman class, Johns Hopkins will change its standardized test requirements to respond to the new formats. Please check the listings below to see how you fit into the policy change.</p>

<p>New Test Requirements</p>

<p>Required: The SAT I OR the ACT with Writing Test.</p>

<p>Recommended: For those submitting SAT I scores, Johns Hopkins recommends that applicants submit three SAT II Subject Tests.</p>

<p>Previous Test Requirements</p>

<p>Required: The SAT I and three SAT II Subject Test (one of which must be Writing) OR the ACT.</p>

<pre><code>* Students graduating from high school in 2006—Hopkins will accept the previous test requirements OR the new requirements.

  • Students graduating from high school in 2007 and beyond—Hopkins' new requirements are mandatory. </code></pre>

<p>A Note on Standardized Test Dates
Hopkins strongly recommends that Early Decision candidates complete their required standardized tests no later than October of their senior year. Regular Decision candidates should complete required tests no later than December of their senior year. Although we cannot guarantee that November (ED) or January (RD) scores will arrive before the Admissions Committee evaluation, past experience suggests that scores taken on these dates usually arrive in time. November (ED) or January (RD) scores will be accepted for those students unable to meet their test requirements by October (ED) or December (RD). In such cases, we encourage you to note your intention of taking the later standardized test(s) on your application. There is no need to rush your scores.</p>

<p>all i have to say is:
BURNED (regarding md's post)</p>

<p>yea the critical reading got pretty hard. it was definitely a pain</p>

<p>thats ok...they'll SEE all the scores and that ur capable of doing well in cr, and ur consistent in ur high math scores. dont worry too much. good luck</p>

<p>I checked the hopkins site, but was just unclear if they would consider my old scores <em>without</em> the SAT2 Writing. </p>

<p>"how did you do so well on the old SAT verbal and so poorly on the new critical reading?"</p>

<p>Let's just say, elimination of analogies and more passages.</p>

<p>Damn, well if I were you I would be ****ED.</p>

<p>simple answer...all scores will be seen and all scores will be considered.</p>

<p>old SAT, as long as u knew vocab u were bound to do OK
now it's all about analyzing and comprehending (which IMO is better)</p>

<p>That helped me out big time BanKai. My vocab is pretty mediocre, but I'm good at making inferences which helped me out tremendously.</p>

<p>yea me 2. i think the new sat is really fair. except it takes 12 hours to finish.</p>

<p>That part helped me too... I'm a real good test taker, and I can focus for long periods of time (probably from sports/video games).</p>
