<p>Last year, I was sadly waitlisted and never taken off the waitlist for Hopkins. Now, I attend the University of Florida Honors Program, and I took 14 credit hours this semester (and I have well over 30 AP credits, but UF accepts a maximum of 30 credits). Next semester I will be taking 15 credit hours.</p>
<p>Does JHU take all credit from the school a student has transferred from? I've checked on the JHU website and it says you need a minimum, but nothing regarding the actual transfer of credits.</p>
<p>At UF, I will have 14+15+30=59 credits by the end of this year. Also, I'm pretty sure I read a while back that GPA doesn't transfer, but I'd like to make sure of that. This semester I received a B+ in Physics w/ Calculus, giving me a 3.901 GPA. Next semester should give me a 4.0 thus giving me a GPA around 3.94 (and I would sincerely not like to lose that, but if it means transferring to JHU, I would lol).</p>
<p>Edit: I know this sounds choppy, but I just read about the first semester grade cover policy that JHU has, how would this also affect my grade situation assuming my dreams come true?</p>
<p>After a transfer student is admitted and choose to enroll at Hopkins, an official credit evaluation is performed by the Office of Academic Advising. In order to receive credit for courses, students must have earned a grade of C or above in courses comparable in content to those offered at Hopkins. This is only a process that occurs after you enroll and prior to your selecting your courses for your first semester at Hopkins. Credit evaluations do not occur before nor during the admissions process. Therefore it is impossible to pre-determine the number of credits you would transfer in. The minimum will be 4 and maximum will be 60.</p>
<p>As far as covered grades, since you did not spend your first collegiate semester at Hopkins the policy will not apply to your transcript.</p>
<p>Ok, that sounds good because right now I've just been trying to knock out the pre-med requirements which are probably about the same at every university (Chem, Bio, Physics, Calculus, etc). Thanks for the prompt attention too!</p>
<p>Also, Daniel I remember last year checking your blog religiously when I was just an RD applicant. Do you have any statistics on transfer admissions from past years?</p>
<p>AdmissionsDaniel, you have become an invaluable source of information, and I really do appreciate it. I'm just hoping I've done enough more so that transfer admissions is slightly better to me than RD admissions was last year ;).</p>
<p>Thanks again.</p>
