<p>AdmissionsDaniel,</p>
<p>Any way you could fill me in on the latest ED admissions rates for applicants to the Whiting School of Engineering?</p>
<p>Also, should I declare a major in my application, will my major alter my chances of acceptance (excluding BME)?</p>
<p>THANKS!</p>
<p>Do you know what time on 12/15 the early decision results will be released?</p>
<p>Around 6pm eastern time.</p>
<p>Hello, if I sent in a SAT score in June (which was low) and sent in an ACT score in October, will the higher score be considered?
Thanks,
Polyosophy</p>
<p>^^I thought they changed it to 7pm EST?</p>
<p>MakaiM, Admissions Daniel stated very clearly on Hopkins Interactive that each applicant is considered for the whole school and as long as one is accepted, he/she can select any major in the Whiting School of Engineering or Krieger School of Arts and Sciences.</p>
<p>Polyosophy, Iām sure Hopkins only requires an SAT or ACT score, so if your ACT relates to a higher SAT score than your June SAT score, then you can choose not to send it. But itās JMHO.</p>
<p>Damn, we have to wait that long?! I was hoping for around noon so I can get my results before bed. Iād be too excited to go to sleep, lol.</p>
<p>^ I believe you are free to choose any major in either school except that Biomedical Engineering is a separate application.</p>
<p>^Yep and transferring to BME is nearly impossible, but ChemBE Iāve heard is a lot like BME but looks at it more from a chemistās point of view, plus like all the upper levels are the same or similar them (so Iāve heard).</p>
<p>^^Yes, I forgot to mention that.</p>
<p>I donāt think BME requires a special application. Iām pretty sure all you have to do is indicate on the supplement that BME is your first choice major.</p>
<p>Yeah, thereās no separate application, but it is the only major you have to apply into per se. I applied into Biophysics, but upon a recent epiphany of sorts, I realized that I really want to do public health studies; had it been BME instead, I couldnāt transfer into it freely as I didnāt indicate it as my first choice major.</p>
<p>Iām sorry if I created any confusion by my mis-worded post. I think you apply and are admitted specifically to the BME major, not that it is a different or separate application than what you use to apply to JHU. I was just trying to make the point that itās an exception to the rule that once accepted to JHU, you can choose any major in either school (Krieger or Whiting).</p>
<p>I donāt think Admissions_Daniel responds to questions on College Confidential anymore. Not sure why. I would suggest that you ask questions on the Hopkins message boards. I have asked a couple and he is been very helpful. </p>

<p>even though hopkins says they admit you into the overall university and doesnt go by major; your major choice has to influence their decision clearly otherwise they shouldnt even ask it.
example is last year from my school one kid who applied as a political science major to JHU and got into
another with i wouldnt say substantial but had higher test scores, GPA etc and applied into just biology and he got rejected so i mean from that example clearly the major choice has to influence the decision to a certain degree</p>
<p>Iām baaaaaaaack. After a 10 and 1/2 month absence I am finally returning to College Confidential. If you want to know why I have been absent for so long, read this:

<p>Since most of the posts on this thread are quite old or have been answered by others, I thought I would just respond to the last question.</p>

</p>
<p>I have answered this question a number of times, and will refer you to this discussion on the Hopkins Forums:
[Intended</a> Major in the Admissions process?](<a href=āhttp://forums.hopkins-interactive.com/topic/563310/1]Intendedā>http://forums.hopkins-interactive.com/topic/563310/1)</p>
<p>The most relevant response I posted on that thread is:
</p>
<p>I havenāt looked in on this thread in a while, Iāve wanted to go to Hopkins since elevenish, but Iām a sophomore and my SAT is only around 1800ā¦Unless I do some serious work, Pretty much restricted to the state university when it comes time to apply, plus Iām Asianā¦even worse.</p>
<p>As I have posted when I first started posting on College Confidential (<a href=āhttp://talk.collegeconfidential.com/2847417-post2.html[/url]ā>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/2847417-post2.html</a>) I do not comment on chances thread nor do I answer questions about what it takes to be admitted.</p>
<p>I wasnāt asking asking you to chance me, neither was I asking about what it takes to be admitted, I was merely saying this generally. Chill out.</p>
<p>Replace neither with nor*</p>
<p>@NickFan I did nothing to disrespect the Admissions Staff. I just pointed out that I wasnāt asking AdmissionsDaniel to comment on my post, by the way, I donāt think you have any business butting in here, because I said/did nothing wrong.</p>
