As an alumni of the school and an alumni admissions officer (I represent Hopkins and present college fairs and interview high school students in my city.), I thought I'd post this info. Here are the stats from the pre-med office that I thought future pre-meds thinking about Hopkins might find informative. It comes straight from the quarterly magazine Hopkins distributes to present students and alumni.
"In the Office of Preprofessional Advising at Homewood, advisers Mary Catherine Savage and Ronald Fishbein each year work closely with more than 200 students and recent alumni whose sights are set on med school or other health professions. The duo's brand of indiviualized advising appears to be paying off. Hopkins' medical school acceptance rate is nearly twice the national average.
93% of Hopkins students (90 total) in the undergraduate class of 2001 who applied and were accepted to medical school on their first try.
50% Rate of acceptance to medical school nationally.
89% of Hopkins "re-applicants" (those who had applied previously to medical school and been denied) who were accepted in 2001.
70 Total number of Hopkins alumni applying to medical school in 2001 for the first time. Number accepted: 58.
3.62 Mean GPA of Hopkins students/alumni accepted into medical school in 2001.
31.2 Mean MCAT total for Hopkins students/alumni accepted into medical school.
7 Number of Hopkins students/alumni who applied and were accepted to dental school.
7 Number of Hopkins student/alumni who applied and were accepted to schools of Osteopathic medicine."
Although I graduated in 2001, I applied this year for the Fall of 2002. My numbers were slightly lower than Hopkins' averages, but I was offered interviews at several Top-50 schools and will be attending a Top-30 school in the fall. Good luck.
