Hey guys, just have a few questions regarding applying to Johns Hopkins Early Decision for BME. If I do not make it into BME ED, would I be considered for School of Arts and Sciences ED or regular? Also, if I do not make it into BME ED, is the ED contract still binding?
I applied to the biomedical engineering major and was admitted Early Decision to the university. Have I also been admitted to the BME major?
In your acceptance packet you should have received two official Johns Hopkins letters. The first letter is from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions—this is your letter of acceptance to the university. The second letter is from the Whiting School of Engineering and is signed by the dean of the school—this letter discusses whether or not you were admitted specifically to the BME major.
What are my options if I was not accepted into the BME major as an Early Decision applicant?
Early Decision applicants who applied to but were not admitted to the BME major are released from the Early Decision contract to enroll at Johns Hopkins and may apply to other colleges but must make a decision about enrollment at Johns Hopkins University and return their Reply Form to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions by January 15.
If you were not accepted to the BME program but still want to attend Johns Hopkins, you can enroll by submitting the Reply Form and enrollment deposit. You do not need to select a new major at this time, but you should inform us of your academic interests when completing the Candidate Reply Form. All other majors and programs at Johns Hopkins are available to you.
If you choose not to enroll, check the appropriate box on your Reply Form and your application will be withdrawn from Johns Hopkins University.
Can I get into BME during my sophomore year?
If spaces open up in the BME major at the end of your first year, the Whiting School of Engineering will contact all Johns Hopkins first-year students regarding spaces available in the program and the process for internal transfer. This occurs rarely and most students are advised to enroll at Johns Hopkins with the knowledge that transferring into BME is a highly competitive occurrence.
My admission decision to the university was deferred to Regular Decision and my first-choice major is BME. Will I be considered for the program during Regular Decision? What are my chances?
During the Regular Decision process, you will be reviewed for admission to the university, as well as for admission to the BME major. Your chances for admission to both depend on the competitiveness of the overall applicant pool, as well as the strength of those applying directly to the BME major.
