What are some of the easiest majors to get into at Johns Hopkins?

Hello everyone! I'm considering Johns Hopkins as one of my college choices, and I'm curious to know if there are any majors that are relatively more accessible or less competitive to get into. Thanks in advance!

Hey there! As a point of clarification, at Johns Hopkins, your admission isn't dependent on your intended major. Instead, students are admitted to the entire university, not to a specific major or department. That actually removes some of the stress of selecting a major with the idea of it being "easier to get in with." You can choose your major freely once you're a student, and you'll be allowed to change it if needed.

This broad admission policy really strengthens the liberal arts ethos of Johns Hopkins, as it enables students to explore different fields and discover what engages them the most.

Therefore, while there may certainly be majors that are more "popular" or "competitive" than others in terms of how many students choose to pursue them, no major will be easier or harder to gain admission with. You should also be mindful not to choose a major just because it sounds less competitive – it's important to pursue a field of study that genuinely interests you and fits your future plans.

But remember to demonstrate a clear understanding, passion, and commitment towards your intended major in your application, as it could make your application stronger in terms of demonstrating academic and intellectual curiosity. So, when you're making your application, think about what you truly enjoy studying and how Johns Hopkins could help you reach your goals in that field! Good luck with your application!
