<p>Two questions:
- I know Johns Hopkins is a major research college. when you apply, do you have to have considerable awards+research done in science to get into JHU?</p>
<li>Would you consider philosophy a competitive major at JHU?</li>
</ol>
<p>While Hopkins is a research university, I'd venture a guess that the large majority of incoming students have ever done research. It's definitely not required for admissions. That said, a good majority of people do get involved in research during their time here.</p>
<p>wait is "have ever" a typo?
do you mean "have never"?</p>
<p>yeah, sorry, most incoming students <em>have never</em> done research</p>
<ol>
<li><p>As tanman correctly stated, having done research is not a requirement to be admitted to Hopkins. A considerable percentage of applicants have done some form of research or academic enrichment experiences during high school, and depending on the experience is can help one's chances. But once again, research experience is not something you must have to be admitted.</p></li>
<li><p>Philosophy is actually one of the stronger Humanities Departments at Hopkins. May I suggest these two links to learn more:</p></li>

<p>Hi I was wondering if you could enlighten as to the number of philosophy majors and the size of the program or redirect me to where I can obtain the afore mentioned information. I was not able to find it after quite a bit of looking.</p>
<p>Here you go:

<p>I know someone who just graduated with a double in math/philosophy and is now starting a PhD in philosophy at Stanford.</p>
