I think you already know JHU is one of the best universities in the world, and the “general level” is pretty much as high as it gets. This year’s freshman class was applied to by 24,718 students. They enrolled 1,310 or roughly 5%. So how many did they admit? I don’t know but let’s say 10% that means 9 out of 10 applications was waitlisted or rejected. Of those enrolled 92% were in the top 10% of their HS class. So you get it, it’s very competitive.

Doesn’t matter what my kid did. If you want to get into a school like JHU there are no guarantees but take the most rigorous course load you can successfully handle. Be involved in as many extras as you can handle. And while you’re doing all that take a breath and be a kid!
