<p>Does JHU use first come first serve admission process?</p>
<p>The deadline is Jan 1st. And are the JHU admission will look at the last for the </p>
<p>last application that was sent late close to the deadline?</p>
<p>I highly doubt that they would do that.......</p>
<p>Yeah, they would at least read through each application once. And I'm pretty sure a lot of people send it around or on the deadline.</p>
<p>As far as I know, it doesn't matter when you submitted your application as long as its before the deadline. Unlike other schools, Hopkins doesn't have rolling admissions, so everyone is considered at once, after the deadline for Regular Decision submission (unless you apply Early Decision, of course). As for the order of reading applications, I'm guessing it would be quite random</p>
<p>All the responses so far are correct. For regular decision, all applications are reviewed the same manner no matter if they were sent in months earlier or one second before the deadline.</p>
