Requirements
Johns Hopkins University Application Status Portal Activation
QuestBridge will send Finalists’ applications to college partners on October 16, and Johns Hopkins University may need a couple of days to import them into their system. Once processed, Johns Hopkins University will then email you instructions to log in and activate your applicant portal, where you can track the status of the materials you submit.
You will be able to submit the Hopkins-QuestBridge Questionnaire through your applicant portal once it is set up. This form is required for all students applying to Hopkins through QuestBridge.
An official high school transcript is required. If you did not submit official copies to QuestBridge, your counselor should email them directly to Hopkins at [email protected].
Hopkins is test-optional for the 2024-2025 application year (students enrolling in fall 2025).
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-QuestBridge Questionnaire will allow you to indicate your test-optional status for our review process.

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 [email protected] if you have additional questions.
These forms must be signed, with all schedules, attachments, W-2 forms, and other earning statements, and include personal and corporate/partnership tax returns.
Your noncustodial parent must also submit copies of their 2023 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.
