Declaring Majors at Johns Hopkins

Does anyone know whether it is better to apply to Johns Hopkins as undeclared? I am planning to major in chemistry and I was wondering if declaring would hurt my chances.

As far as your question, the major you choose does not negatively or positively impact the review of your application. In completing your application, we strongly recommend students list the 1 or 2 majors that they are most likely planning on studying at Hopkins. If one is truly undecided, then they should list undecided.

Applicants to Johns Hopkins University do not apply to a specific school nor a specific major. All applicants are applying to the full undergraduate university, and all applicants are held to the same standards. Upon enrollment, a student can choose the major or majors they are interested in pursuing across the Whiting School of Engineering and Krieger School of Arts and Sciences.
