The admission process at Johns Hopkins University is highly competitive and holistic. Applicants must submit the Common Application or Coalition Application, along with a personal essay, high school transcripts, and letters of recommendation. Standardized test scores (SAT or ACT) are optional for most programs but can be submitted if they strengthen the application.
Additional requirements may include supplemental essays, interviews, or portfolios for specific programs like music or engineering. Deadlines vary for Early Decision (November), Regular Decision (January), and transfer applicants. The university evaluates academic excellence, extracurricular involvement, and personal qualities to select a diverse and talented student body.
