The best information on what is weighed the heaviest is from the common data set. JHU says there are four metrics that they consider “very important” - academic rigor, GPA, recommendations, and character/personal qualities. Obviously the second two are highly subjective. In the “Important” column along with rank and test scores, are ECs, essay, and talent. Again subjective measures weighed the same as rank/test scores. Everything else is “considered” except religion and interest. The common data sets are easily researched. Obviously it’s not a road map into the minds of the admissions folks but it gives you clues.

IMO, the more selective the school, the harder it is to predict outcome because it does often come down to the more subject parts of the application. It’s like that at most competitive schools, not just JHU.
