Johns Hopkins Freshman Profile

Hi, I'm thinking about applying to Johns Hopkins next year and I wanted to know about the typical freshman profile, like average GPA, test scores, and extracurriculars. Does anyone have recent info or links to the profiles of admitted students? Thanks!

Hi there! I'd be happy to give you an overview of the most recent Johns Hopkins freshman profile, but keep in mind that college admissions often consider numerous factors to review an application holistically.

For the admitted Class of 2027 at Johns Hopkins:

1. Average GPA: The average unweighted GPA of admitted students is 3.9. JHU also reports a majority (around 99%) of accepted students come from the top 10% of their high school class.

2. Test Scores: JHU is test-optional through 2026, but it may still be helpful for you to know their middle 50% ranges, which are as follows:

- SAT: middle 50% range was 1530-1560

- ACT: middle 50% range was 34-35

3. Extracurriculars: There isn't a specific profile for successful applicants' extracurricular activities, but competitive applicants typically have 8-10 activities with a mixture of leadership, achievement, and passion in one or more areas. Top colleges, including Johns Hopkins, value students with a "spike" or a highly developed specialty in their field of interest.

Please remember that these stats are just averages and ranges. The admissions committee will review your application considering various factors such as your essays, letters of recommendation, and demonstrated interest in the school. It's essential to present a strong overall application in addition to meeting the academic benchmarks.

I hope this gives you an idea of what Johns Hopkins accepted students look like! Best of luck with your application!
