<p>Well, I'm a senior in high school and after taking the SAT again this Janurary I am pretty sure I am not going to be getting into JHU this April. My high school grades don't really show my true potential, and hopefully I show it in college. Of the students to apply to transfer to JHU, is there an average, or at least reason figure that can be predicted for the accepted transfer students? I tried looking on the site but I could not find it. </p>
<p>On a side now, just as encouragement, will getting a 4.0 and having very good recommendations from professors at a top 50 college give me a pretty good shot a transfering?</p>
<p>I do not comment on one's chances for admission whether as a freshman applicant nor as a transfer applicant. Therefore I will only provide this basic information about the transfer process:</p>
<p>For detailed information about transfer admission, please review this web site: <a href="http://apply.jhu.edu/faqs/transfer.html%5B/url%5D">http://apply.jhu.edu/faqs/transfer.html</a>. Johns Hopkins only offers transfer admission for the fall semester. Transfer admission to Hopkins is highly competitive and based on space availability. In addition, a minimum 3.0 cumulative college grade point average is required for admission. A minimum of 24 credits are necessary to transfer to Hopkins. Any student who has enrolled in a full-time or part-time program at an accredited college or university after graduating from high school is considered a transfer student.</p>
<p>No one can tell you your chances, but achieving a strong GPA and good recs from your college professors are key ingredients to success. You do NOT need a 4.0, imo - that obsession drives me crazy. Do well, do your best. Take a strong schedule with courses directly related to your intended major (if you know it). Last year, when my S applied for transfer, SATs were optional - if it stays that way, that might help you.</p>
<p>In one recent year, I believe Hopkins accepted about 16% of transfer applicants. Don't quote me on that figure. </p>
<p>You may turn out to really like the school you start in. If not, good luck on your transfer plans.</p>
