Johns Hopkins University admissions for Fall 2026 are underway, with Early and Regular Decision deadlines set to open from August 1, 2025. The university accepts students across Fall, Spring, and Summer intakes, depending on the program. Programs like MS in Computer Science, Public Health, Biomedical Engineering, and the MBA from Carey Business School are especially popular among Indian students.

With an overall acceptance rate of 6.43% and a much lower 4.5% for international applicants, Johns Hopkins University is highly selective. Indian students applying to graduate programs must meet course-specific requirements such as a minimum GPA of 3.0/4.0, and demonstrate English proficiency through TOEFL iBT 100, IELTS 7.0, PTE 70, or Duolingo DET 130. Additional documents include a resume, SOP, 3 letters of recommendation, and in many programs, competitive GRE (333+) or GMAT (720+) scores.

Undergraduate applicants from India must apply through the Common App or Coalition on Scoir, submit high school transcripts, a personal essay, and proof of English proficiency. Standardized tests (SAT/ACT) are optional but can strengthen the application. Indian students are strongly advised to apply by the priority or second application rounds for higher chances of admission and scholarships.

I had a need-based/merit-based scholarship that covered most of my tuition and because I did not have health insurance through my parents Hopkins provided a grant to allow the cost of my health care to be covered by the University. I did, however, have to go through a link to the appeal process with the financial aid office in order to gain these grants.
