Typical Hopkins Student?

<p>Ok guys. I thought i could read enough threads to get a gist of this, but i have heard humounguous ranges for the typical hopkins student. I would absolutely love to go there for international relations (undergraduate), but am not sure if i can get in. I have seen from some CC members that a 3.5 1600 out of 2400 is enough, and I have heard from others that a 3.9 and a 2200 might get you in. If you guys could quell my thoughts a bit I would be very appreciative.</p>

<p>i seriously doubt that anyone can get into hopkins with a 1600</p>

<p>The second set of numbers you described seem much more realistic for a Hopkins applicant. That's not to say that a 3.5/1600 can't happen, but it doesnt.</p>

<p>Right. Wasn't listing my scores only some person's "evidence" to an argument. Thanks for the input. Any other ideas, because I also don't think that Hopkins is as difficult to get into as say Ivies + Georgetown + Duke. or maybe thats just wishful thinking.</p>

<p>It's pretty tough. Some might argue it's as hard as some of the Ivies, Duke, and Georgetown. It's not HYPSM, but it's no slouch.</p>

<p>This link might be helpful. Hopkins admits 24% of applicants and the middle 50% SAT is 2010-2290.

<p>it's a tier below the ivies in selectivity</p>

<p>3.9/2300 should be close to a sure thing given reasonable ecs/recs.</p>

<p>In terms of selectivity, it's approximately the same level as Cornell. Definitely not as selective as HYP obviously, but still quite selective.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help guys, especially the links to the "fast facts" page MDmom. Found out its very tough (ivy league) unless applying ED which has a much higher acceptance rate (35-45%).</p>

<p>depending on how you look at it, 1600/2400 can be a very, very, good thing. or it can simply be "average" as they call it.</p>

<p>I love how Duke's ED Acceptance rate is more than triple it's RD acceptance rate....basically Duke's saying <em>cough</em>DO ED* cough*</p>

<p>It says in it that in fall 2006 48% of ED applicants made it as opposed to the 25% at RD. </p>

<p>So it looks like its ED for me.</p>

<p>bump....bump...bump</p>

<p>bump...any more input?</p>

<p>I'll tell you something about the typical Hopkins student: He/She lives in Baltimore.</p>

<p>Have you looked at the Hopkins forum? There are lots of posts that might interest you, including one with current ED decisions.
