Ask your parents what the FAFSA EFC is.

If Harvard expects your parents to pay $11k, that suggests an income of about $110k.

That still means that JHU would expect a sizable contribution - probably about $30k per year. Again, JHU does NOT use Harvard’s generous FA formula. Harvard (and maybe Yale) are unique. Don’t go by what THEY do.

Get your bro’s EFC.
