Hello @bdylandylan, I transferred to Hopkins in Fall 2017. I am an officer in the transfer student association and involved in admissions/orientation team. Please let me know if you any questions about the process.
@DrRich thank you for responding and I’m incredibly sorry for such a late response. I stopped checking after several days of no response and completely forgot about my post. I will certainly PM you any questions. There also seems to be a more recent transfer thread that I assume people will use if they decide to post.
Hey guys, discovered this thread late but I’m also attempting to transfer to Hopkins, feeling pretty pessimistic even though my GPA is a 4.0 but it’s worth a shot right? Also @DrRich, was it hard getting used to Hopkins as a transfer student?
@Karalee where are you transferring from? I also feel pessimistic but it’s a lateral move academic wise for political science from my university to hopkins. Which program(s) are you applying for and which year will you be?
Hi I’m applying for a transfer to Hopkins too. Have you guys set up your account on the JHU admissions decision site yet?
@trixandgiggles yeah I set mine up a couple days after getting the email. Where are you transferring from?
@DrRich What were your application stats?

Hello, I am a sophomore and I applied to JHU for transfer in Fall 2018 as Political Science Major. I have a weird story, I applied to a bunch of schools for transfer last year (including JHU), but only got into Cornell which was my last choice. I ended up transferring to Cornell, but I really disliked it because I was not a huge fan of Ithaca and I did not like the culture. I decided I wanted to try to transfer again.
