Johns Hopkins University

Johns Hopkins University Applicant Portal Activation: QuestBridge will send Finalists’ applications to Hopkins on October 18, and Hopkins may need a couple days to import them into their system. Once processed, Hopkins will then email you instructions to log in and activate your applicant portal, where you can track the status of the materials you submit to Hopkins.

Hopkins Supplemental Form

You will be able to submit the Hopkins Supplemental Form through your applicant portal once it is set up. This form is required for all students applying to Hopkins through QuestBridge.

(Optional) Test Scores  
Self-Reported or Official Reports

SAT code: 5332
ACT code: 1704

Hopkins is test-optional for applicants through 2026.

Hopkins will consider your highest section scores across all SATs taken—even if they were on different test dates—in their evaluation of your application. Make sure to update your application with new test scores each time you take the SATs.

Hopkins will also consider your highest combined score for the ACT. They will find the maximum value of each official section score submitted, then recalculate the composite score.

You will be able to self-report scores on your QuestBridge application. Your Hopkins supplemental form will allow you to indicate your test-optional status for our review process.

2024-2025 CSS Profile

CSS code: 5332
Available Oct. 1

The CSS Profile is required for all applicants. If your parents are divorced or separated, you and your custodial parent (the parent you live with the most) will complete a CSS Profile together. Your non-custodial parent will also need to fill out their own CSS Profile.

Hopkins realizes that issues of college support may be complicated in divorced and separated families, and they evaluate each situation individually. If you believe special circumstances exist in your family, please review the information on CSS Profile Waiver Request for the Non-custodial Parent or contact Student Financial Support at FinAidSupport@jhu.edu if you have additional questions.

Your noncustodial parent must also submit copies of their 2022 federal income tax returns, signed with all schedules, attachments, W-2 forms, and other earning statements. You’ll be asked to upload these documents to Institutional Documentation Service (IDOC) after completing your CSS Profile.

SUBMIT AS SOON AS AVAILABLE (likely by late December)
