Allow me to add to what Mandy wrote:

1) What percentage medical school applicants are accepted? Where do those applicants go to medical school?

For Johns Hopkins undergraduates completing our pre-health advising program, the acceptance into Medical School has ranged from 86 – 93% over the last five years. For a list of medical schools where JHU undergraduates have enrolled in the past:

2) Are there any accelerated programs/combined programs avialable through JHU?

Johns Hopkins University does not offer any 6 or 7 or 8 year advanced / combined / integrated / accelerated medical nor dental programs for enrolling undergraduates in the Johns Hopkins Medical School or any other medical program. Students at Johns Hopkins interested in pursuing medical/dental school must complete four years of undergraduate study in a major of their choosing and then apply to graduate programs. Due to how competitive it is to be admitted to the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine (less than 5% acceptance rate) and the small incoming Medical School class size each year (less than 125 students) there is no way we can go about guaranteeing acceptance in the School of Medicine for high school students.

3) What percentage of Johns Hopkins applicants get accepted into the Johns Hopkins Medical School?

Hopkins Medical is by far one of the most selective medical schools in the entire world. The acceptance rates each year are in the low single digits. That being said, the process of being accepted into Hopkins School of Medicine is overly competitive for every single applicant to the school no matter where they study for their undergraduate years. Simply stated, no one has an advantage nor disadvantage when they apply to Hopkins School of Medicine.

Over the past years, the largest number of students in the entering Hopkins School of Medicine class have been JHU undergraduates. Last year I believe it was 19 of the 110 enrolling students were from Hopkins, the highest for any Undergraduate school. Hopkins undergraduates perennially make up the largest number of students in the medical class than any other institution, but this is not because there are a number of spaces reserved or any other specific preferential treatment.

Hopkins pre-med students do quite well in the medical school admissions process, and they tend to get into really good schools like Hopkins School of Medicine. Plus, as one attends Hopkins for undergraduate studies they will have the chance to access the Medical campus for research and other academic opportunities.

Finally, I’d also recommend:

Hi i am a prospective pre-med student and i am interested in coming to Hopkins. I have heard the classes at Hopkins are more difficult than at other schools. i was wondering how true this is because so many people from Hopkins still seem to get into med school

Hopkins classes are challenging as Hopkins is one of the top institutions in the country. However, classes at Hopkins are not any more difficult than at schools ranked similarly with Hopkins. Anyone who states that Hopkins classes are harder than other similar schools have probably never attended Hopkins and have no real experience with comparison. If you really want to know about classes at Hopkins you should review these discussion topics already on these forums:

I don't know if this is a truth or just a rumor. But I heard that  every year, one or two outstanding third year pre-med undergrads are selected/chosen for guaranteed admission to JHU med school by advisors and faculty members... That being said, they don't have to take MCAT and do rest of the application... They are automatically admitted to JHU med school. Is this possible?? This might not be official but can such a thing happen??

Johns Hopkins University does not offer any 6 or 7 year advanced / combined / integrated / accelerated medical programs for enrolling undergraduates in the Johns Hopkins Medical School or any other medical program. Additionally, Johns Hopkins does not offer any advanced entry into the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine for enrolled undergraduates. Students at Johns Hopkins interested in pursuing medical school must complete four years of undergraduate study in a major of their choosing and then apply to the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

In this website http://www.fairtest.org/facts/mcat.html, it says:

"Medical school admissions officers can and do make sound decisions about who to admit without considering MCAT scores. One approach is to offer provisional medical school admission to a student as he or she enters the freshman year of college. Approximately 30 medical schools, including the Johns Hopkins, University of Rochester, Northwestern, Brown, and Tulane, pursue such a policy guaranteeing a seat to incoming undergraduates if they maintain a certain GPA."

Is this true?

No that website is presenting incorrect information about Johns Hopkins University. The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine does not offer any guaranteed admission programs. There are no provisional medical school admission programs affiliated with the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

Is the Pre-Med program available to anyone who desires to take it? Do you have to apply for it before enrollment with certain high school requirements? For instance, if one is accepted to JHU as an English major, how does Pre-Med work from there?

Yes, any undergraduate at Johns Hopkins pursuing any undergraduate major can also partake in the pre-health advising program. Pre-med is not an academic program but rather an advising track set forth by the Office of Pre-Professional Advising. It is not something one needs to apply for.

Thank you, Admissions Daniel. I followed your link and found the information very helpful! Just to clarify: are there not any high school pre-requisites to entering the pre-med program (needing an A in all high school science courses, etc)? Or, if one does not have very high science averages from their high school courses, will the advisers deny the student to pursuing the program? I apologize if it seems like I am asking the same question, I would just like to be clear on all this :) Thank you so much again.

As I stated above, ANY undergraduate at Johns Hopkins University can pursue the pre-med advising track. It is not a program one is admitted to, and one's high school record has no relationship to the program. If you are admitted to Johns Hopkins then your high school record no longer matters. There are no pre-requisites to follow the pre-med advising program at Hopkins.

Johns Hopkins undergraduates have the same chance of acceptance to the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine than students at other undergraduate institutions. It is important to note however that the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine is one of the most competitive medical schools to be admitted to with an acceptance rate of less than 7% every year. Hopkins undergraduates are not provided any priority in acceptance. Every year the largest percentage of undergraduates attending the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine are Johns Hopkins undergraduates compared to all other universities.
