The policy only applies to a student who applies for the BME major. (One applies for the BME major by listing it as one’s first choice major on the JHU supplement to the Common Application or Universal College Application.)

The BME major is the only major one must apply to when applying ED or RD to Hopkins. If the Admissions Committee determines during the ED review that we want to admit the student but the student is not offered admissions to the BME program, the binding ED contract will become null. If we are not offering an applicant their first choice major (BME) then we can not bind them to the ED contract.

Once again, THIS POLICY ONLY APPLIES TO BME APPLICANTS. The Early Decision process at Hopkins is a **binding **process. As well, do not try to be ***clever ***and apply for BME if though you have no interest in the program … just to try and game the system.
