<p>I have heard that it is easier to get be accepted if your intended major is in a non-science field in krieger. How true is this? I am interested in both French and International Relations-- would putting one over the other as my major make any difference in admissions selectivity?</p>
<p>Not always true. Pre-med, BME, and biology will make admissions more difficult. In contrast, much fewer students choose to major in chemistry(20-25 a year). Keep in mind that international studies is extremely popular at JHU. Basically, unless you're applying for pre-med, bio, or BME, your chances will not be much affected by your choice of major.</p>
<p>what about applying to asian studies and yer a white jew?</p>
<p>A lot of people don't know this but it's easiest to get into JHU RD as a likely Engineering major (other than Biomedical). JHU seeks to enroll 30% Engineering majors. About 9% major in BME. That leaves about 21% of the class reserved for Engineering majors other than BME!</p>
<p>Yes making Hopkins as a natural science major is most difficult- especially BIOLOGY. JHU seeks to enroll only 25% natural science majors- to keep classes small and prevent overcrowding. JHU realizes that some pre-meds have a non-science major but still need to take those few courses in organic chem, physics, etc. JHU does wish to enroll 45% humanities & social science majors and these humanities focused students do have a slight edge in admissions over natural science majors. However, non-bme engineering majors are admitted at the highest rate!</p>
<p>The overall acceptance rate at JHU (after the wait list) was 29.9%.
The acceptance rate for Arts & Science is lower than the acceptance rate for Engineering. Yes, BME is ultra selective but the other Engineering concentrations, though high quality, are less sought after.</p>
<p>put the major you're actually considering...based on ur ec's and classes...the admissions office can figure out what your actual intended major is...there's no point in trying to fool anyone it only hurts you</p>
