Johns Hopkins University Class of '27 Admissions Roundup

For the Class of 2027, Johns Hopkins University offered admissions to 1,592 applicants in the Regular Decision round. These students join the 811 students accepted in Early Decision I and Early Decision II rounds. 

So far, the university has not released the data on how many applications they received this year so we aren’t able to give you an exact acceptance rate. However, we can look at last year’s figures (Class of 2026) where they accepted 1,586 students in the Regular Decision round and 821 students between the two Early Decision rounds for a total of 2,407 students from a pool of 37,150 applications. This equates to an overall acceptance rate of 6.48%. 

It’s likely that this year’s acceptance rate is in the same ballpark as last year’s. But we will confirm this once the actual figures for this year have been published.
