Johns Hopkins University evaluates applicants based on academic excellence, standardized test scores, and extracurricular involvement. A strong high school GPA, typically above 3.8, is expected, along with rigorous coursework in subjects like math, science, and humanities.
Standardized test scores (SAT/ACT) are optional but recommended for most programs. Competitive applicants often score in the top 10% nationally. Letters of recommendation, essays, and demonstrated leadership or research experience enhance candidacy.
International students must prove English proficiency via TOEFL (100+) or IELTS (7.0+). Some programs may have additional requirements, such as portfolios or interviews.
