| Stats needed from a Nova public school? For humanities (followed by law school elsewhere). |

It’s Johns Hopkins, not John.

| Apply ED - chances are much higher. Almost impossible for regular decision. |

Why attend JHU for humanities? Serious question. I know the humanities are high-quality but the departments are quite small for the most part. |

This is still crucial at Hopkins. |

How about CS? DD from FCPS applied RD waiting for decision today. |

My DD who was a potential athletic recruit needed a 3.9+ UW GPA and 34-35 ACT. This was an athletic recruit. Standards even a bit higher for other applicants.
Depending on your race, I’d tread carefully there. The culture is extremely anti-White and anti-legacy right now, largely due to the current president. |

very very crucial. |

Also, I'd wonder if the UGs get any meaningful attention vs. the grad students. |

So if you're minority you have a chance. But so far high stat DC, female applying for CS did not get better result than other classmates. May be URM and low income not MC. |

| Hopkins UGs in humanities and social sciences actually get a ton of attention from the professors/system. In part it is because of scale. Relatively few (compared to other schools) choose these fields at Hoskins. There is excellent faculty-student interaction as a result. Dc graduated with an economics degree a few years back. VERY happy with the experience. |

| In my experience folks commenting here on t(e race/urm issue are mixing this up,with the fact that Jhu gets proportionately more students in areas slightly more favored by Asian students (stem). This skews the stats. It is also true that top stats students who lack legacy connections at Ivy schools etc (also proportionately non white) apply to Jhu |

There is no need to attend a highly ranked school like Johns Hopkins if the goal is law school. Most decent colleges will be fine for that. However, I would sympathize with the thought that many people who consider law school when they are teenagers don't actually end up applying later.
Amazingly, at the moment here in mid March 2024, Johns Hopkins still requires undergrads to get a COVID vaccine. Even Harvard has stopped requiring that. JHU is now the top ranked school in the US with such requirement. |
