<p>Is it ok to have only one subject test Biology-700 and one AP Test- APUSH 4 and an ACT score of 32 when applying to JHU? </p>
<p>I am low income and it becomes difficult to take so many exams.</p>
<p>anyone have any thoughts?</p>
<p>First of all its unfair tht u have to pay for those AP tests…the county funds the tests for everyone where I’m from and second it should be understandable…its something u can’t control.</p>

<p>Thanks! I hope they think the same way you do.
I mean its not like I’m incompetent…I co-authored a paper
and have done research in a lab…I hope that speaks more
than a few tests.</p>
<p>U sound like a great candidate to me all should overshadow a few tests…ur welcome and good luck…I’m apply too …:)</p>

<p>AP Tests are considered relative to your opportunities. If US History was the only test offered, then it’s perfectly okay. If your school offered AP classes and you took only one, then it doesn’t look good. I don’t know how the cost thing works for low-incomes, though. The website “strongly recommends” up to three SAT II’s; I don’t know how much of a hard requirement that is. AdmissionsDaniel could better answer that question.</p>
<p>has anyone had a scientific poster here? and if so are you sending it with your college app on a disc?</p>
<p>As explained here ([Johns</a> Hopkins University Office of Undergraduate Admissions - Apply - Standardized Test Requirements](<a href=“http://apply.jhu.edu/apply/testreqs.html?main]Johns”>http://apply.jhu.edu/apply/testreqs.html?main)) the SAT II subject exam policy for freshman applicants to Johns Hopkins University is that we strongly encourage all applicants to submit subject exam scores and we prefer that applicants submit scores for three exams. The policy is not a requirement and that means each applicant gets to make the decision whether they want to submit 0, 1, 2, 3, or more subject exams. However, it is important to note the strong preference of the Admissions Committee to have each applicant submit three subject exam scores with their application. </p>
<p>The question that often follows is whether there are scenarios that exist that when an applicant does not submit three SAT subject exam scores the Admissions Committee does not question why the applicant did not follow the stated strong recommendation. One such scenario is in the situation of a student from a low income background where the extra expense in taking such exams would place a financial burden on the student’s family. Students using fee waivers in such cases would not be held to this same standard, though I will state that many such students do still take the exams by seeking fee waivers from their school or the College Board to take the exam.</p>
<p>Another such circumstance of forgoing subject exams is when a student has already taken AP/IB exams (in 10th or 11th grade) and is submitting those scores. In many ways, AP/IB exam scores that are already submitted will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee in lieu of subject exams. But submitting just one AP/IB exam score does not equal the three strongly recommended subject exams.</p>
<p>In the end it is the decision of each and every applicant on whether they want to submit subject exam scores, how many scores they want to submit, and which exams. The Admissions Committee will weight that decision making into the admissions review, as such decisions does speak to the student’s academic ability, interests, and drive.</p>
<p>Ok thanks, what is the acceptance rate for JHU undergraduates in medical school.</p>
<p>Also, would anyone be able to speak upon how difficult the classes are for a biology major?</p>
<p>
Over the last five years, the medicial school acceptance rates for Johns Hopkins undergraduate following the pre-health advising track has ranged from 85 - 93%.</p>
<p>Thanks AdmissionsDaniel! Also, I wanted to know if I apply ED JHU and the financial aid package isn’t enough am I allowed to opt out of ED JHU?</p>
<p>^Did a little bit of searching (makes things so much easier lol)</p>

You know that all of your questions could be answered by visiting the Johns Hopkins University’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions website:
[Johns</a> Hopkins University Office of Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://apply.jhu.edu/]Johns”>http://apply.jhu.edu/)</p>
<p>It is best if you do a bit of searching on that website before just posting new questions here. For instance, you can gain a ton of information about applying Early Decision here: [Johns</a> Hopkins University Office of Undergraduate Admissions - Apply - Frequently Asked Questions - Early Decision](<a href=“http://apply.jhu.edu/apply/faq_early.html]Johns”>http://apply.jhu.edu/apply/faq_early.html). </p>
<p>Or if you want to learn about the undergraduate biology major, visit here: [Undergraduate</a> Program](<a href=“http://www.bio.jhu.edu/Undergrad/Undergrad.aspx]Undergraduate”>http://www.bio.jhu.edu/Undergrad/Undergrad.aspx). </p>
<p>I do not mind answering questions on College Confidential, but I would prefer that the individual asking the question has actually taken a few minutes to research to see if the answer already exists on the Hopkins website.</p>
