Colleges & Universities Johns Hopkins University

<p>I understand that my gpa is lower than the average acceptance rate but plz evaluate my chances under ED.

  1. Chances for chem major
  2. chances for bme major
  3. If some of us are interested in both chem and bme at this time but can not determine which one is of a greater interest to us at this time, under ED will applying bme as first choice and chem as second choice lower my chances of admission into chem (assuming i get rejected from bme) if I had instead applied for chem as my first choice directly? thanks!</p>

<p>Re: Question 3
No - if you aren’t accepted to the BME program, you’re considered like any other applicant to the university. Admissions to Hopkins isn’t for a specific major - you get admitted to the university as a whole - so your actual major choice won’t matter</p>

<p>I think it will help your chances if you expand your gpa to include more decimal places when you write it down.</p>

<p>i don;t think we get to write down what our gpa is =( >< but i doubt that will help i just have to hope they acknowledge trends =(</p>
