Hey guys!!! Does Johns Hopkins take preference to Maryland residents at all? Thanks in advance for the replies!!!

I doubt there's any significant preference going on, but perhaps they do take MD residents slightly more often. MSAR would know.

I believe that something like 20% of the student body are Maryland residents, so yes, they do give some preference.

According to this, only 13 out of 324 in state applicants were accepted at Hopkins - an acceptance rate of 4%. Doesn't sound like much of a preference to me, especially in light of Hopkins overall acceptance rate of 5.6%

According to the MSAR, a higher percentage of Maryland residents are interviewed, as compared to all others: 16% of Maryland applicants, versus 10% of out-of-state applicants.

That might be more due to the fact that they interview more people from JHU undergrad
