<p>Hi, how's everyone doin'?</p>
<p>It is a bit annoying when 11 kids from your high school apply to Johns Hopkins.</p>
<p>Now, since my school is an international (Canadian), would the large number of applicants be a disadvantage?</p>
<p>I know JHU compares an applicant with other applicants from the same school, but does JHU place an unofficial quota for each high school?</p>
<p>Hava nice day, and Happy New Year!</p>
<p>The number of students who apply from your high school will have no effect on how your application is reviewed. </p>
<p>You state you “know JHU compares an applicant with other applicants from the same school” … how do you know that? I ask, because it is not true. </p>
<p>Applicants are reviewed independent of all other applicants, whether from their same school, same region, same area of academic interest, etc. Each applicant is read individually and then compared against the whole standard of the entire applicant pool. We do not read applicants from the same school in one group, and do not base decisions on the quality of the applicant pool from a specific school.</p>
<p>Okay, thank you so much for your clarification :)</p>
<p>And I apologize for my incorrect “I know that JHU compares..” statement, I just heard it from my friend who’s in JHU.</p>
<p>But now I know.</p>
