Hi, I'm considering adding Johns Hopkins to my college list. I'd like to know the average SAT score for admitted students there. Also, any advice on what SAT score range would give me the best chance of getting in?
The middle 50% SAT scores for admitted students at Johns Hopkins University typically range from around 1530 to 1560. This means that 25% of admitted students score below 1530, while another 25% score above 1560. To give yourself the best chance of getting in, you should aim for scores within or above this range.
However, remember that Johns Hopkins has adopted a test-optional policy for the 2024-2025 application cycle. This means that you don't need to submit an SAT score with your application if you feel that it doesn't represent your academic potential accurately. The admissions committee will evaluate your application holistically, considering rigor of coursework, grades, extracurricular involvement, essays, and letters of recommendation.
That being said, if you do choose to submit an SAT score, reaching a score near or above the middle 50% range could strengthen your application and demonstrate your academic aptitude. Of course, it's also important to focus on other parts of your application to showcase your strengths and passions. Good luck!
