inform youthat your application is complete and has been sent to
the Admissions Committee for review.
Applications are initially reviewed in the order in which they
become complete. Because it may benecessary to re-evaluate some
files before making final interview selections, decision
notifications canvary from shortly after we receive the application
through February, 2013. Although we would ideallylike to meet
personally with all applicants to our medical school, it is simply
not feasible for us tointerview every candidate. Interviews will
therefore, be arranged only at the request of the

Selection factors include proven academic achievement and strong
personal qualities. The Admissions
Committee does not require a minimal grade point average or MCAT
scores. Johns Hopkins places ahigh value on the activities,
experiences, and personal qualities of applicants. Individuals who
haveunusual talents, demonstrated leadership, creative abilities,
and significant humanitarian experiences aresought. Finally,
evidence of unequivocal commitment to medicine is an important
asset: medicine is hardwork!
