Admitted Student Test Scores (Class of 2028)

The middle 50% of enrolled students scored:[1]

• SAT (combined mid-50%): 1520–1570 (EBRW 740–770, Math 780–800)
• ACT composite (mid-50%): 34–36

The combined SAT range is the sum of the two section ranges, not a true composite percentile.

Johns Hopkins Yield Rate

Of the 2,954 students admitted to the Class of 2028, 1,389 enrolled, a yield rate of 47.0%.[1] Yield is what the university is really managing when it sets an admit rate, so it moves the acceptance rate more than application volume does.

Class	Admitted	Enrolled	Yield
2028	2,954	1,389	47.0%
2027	2,943	1,418	48.2%
2026	2,745	1,406	51.2%
2025	2,972	1,420	47.8%

What to Expect for the Class of 2030

Over the three most recent official classes (2026–2028) the acceptance rate at Johns Hopkins has sat between 6.4%–7.6%.

That band is what the school has actually done recently, not a prediction. A single cycle can break it: a change to testing policy, a new direct-admission program, or a jump in application volume moves the rate more than any trend would.

What This Means for Your Application

• Perfect your math section: The middle 50% of admitted students earned SAT Math scores from 780 to 800 and ACT composite scores of 34 to 36.
• Expect rising application counts: Applications grew significantly from 37,844 for the Class of 2026 to 45,895 for the Class of 2028.
• Stand out in volume: Your application must compete against a massive pool of 45,895 candidates for only 2,954 admission offers for the Class of 2028.
• Consider the yield rate: The university enrolled 1,389 students for the Class of 2028 to reach a 47.0% yield rate from the admitted pool.
