Finalists who rank Johns Hopkins University
If you are a Finalist who ranked Johns Hopkins University, your National College Match application will be sent to Johns Hopkins University, and you will need to submit the following requirements to the school by November 1. If you have questions after reviewing the information below, please reach out to the school directly.
Requirements
Johns Hopkins University Application Status Portal Activation
QuestBridge will send Finalists’ applications to college partners on October 21, 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. A supplemental essay is not required.
An official high school transcript is required. If you did not submit official copies to QuestBridge, your counselor should upload them to Slate.org or email them directly to Hopkins at [email protected].
Johns Hopkins University requires first-year applicants to submit SAT or ACT scores to be considered for admission.
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.
2026-2027 CSS Profile
CSS code: 5332
Available Oct. 1
The CSS Profile is required for all applicants. You should indicate Early Decision as your admissions plan. 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 [email protected] if you have additional questions.
Upon request only
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 2024 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.
