Truth

<p>Everywhere I look for information on Hopkin's I find different statistics. For example one website says the average acceptance for students coming from High School is a 4.69GPA and above 2300 on the SAT's, are these figures true?</p>

<p>Go to collegeboard.com. As much as some people don't like it, it really is pretty good with statistics about certain schools. And those numbers are certainly false.</p>

<p>When at all possible, try to get your information straight from the horse's mouth:</p>

<p><a href="http://apply.jhu.edu/facts/facts.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://apply.jhu.edu/facts/facts.html&lt;/a>
<a href="http://apply.jhu.edu/facts/facts.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://apply.jhu.edu/facts/facts.html&lt;/a>
<a href="http://apply.jhu.edu/facts/facts.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://apply.jhu.edu/facts/facts.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Those are the right numbers. They do NOT report average GPA since it's so subjective/hard to interpret.</p>

<p>Hope that clears things up :)</p>

<p>also, most resources give the middle 50% of ENROLLED students (college board, Princeton Review...). Some resources (like JHU's website) give the midle 50% for ACCEPTED students. I think i heard that jhu gives the accepted student profile because they hadn't calculated the enrolled #s yet. But i can only imagine that the real reason they use the most recent accepted #s instead of past enrolled #s is that the accepted #s are usually a little (but noticeably) higher. sry if i dont make sense</p>

<p>Thanks for the information.</p>

<p>And yes, you, fragaholic, do make sense.</p>

<p>haha i knew there could be a problem when even i had trouble following my post</p>

<p>There are only two sites where I will vouch for the credibility of the admissions statistics:</p>

<p>Our Admissions Fast Facts page:
<a href="http://apply.jhu.edu/facts/facts.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://apply.jhu.edu/facts/facts.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>And the University's General Facts and Stats pages:
<a href="http://members.ucan-network.org/jhu%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://members.ucan-network.org/jhu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Which ever site the original poster is speaking about is absolutely wrong since a 4.69 GPA is a weighted GPA and any GPA that our office presents for statistical purposes will also be an unweighted GPA on a 4.0 scale. </p>

<p>Also the CollegeBoard web site fails to update their information often so I do not consider them a trusted site either.</p>

<p>Thanks for the information.</p>
