Our program uses a Hopkins-specific online application that allows us to best get to know our applicants, instead of the centralized application many post-bac premedical programs use. All applicants must submit the online application, then submit additional required materials electronically. 

On the portal, applicants can view their supplemental materials checklist to see what has been received. Items received prior to a submitted application are held but are not posted to the portal until the application is submitted. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that all supporting credentials are received. Incomplete applications will not be considered for admission.  

Applications will be processed once all materials are received. Please allow up to two weeks for our office to update the application portal after receipt of materials. 

Application Deadlines

Our application is currently open for start dates in Summer 2024 and Fall 2024. Use the Apply Now button above to begin the application process.

We are close to filling available seats in the incoming 2024-2025 cohort. However, we are still accepting and reviewing applications, so interested applicants should apply soon if they would like to be considered for the 2024-2025 class.

Applications are reviewed in the order they are completed with all supplementary materials received. The review process generally takes between two and four weeks. Your application should be complete, but it should also help our committee get to know you.

Application Materials

• Transcripts from all high schools, colleges, and graduate schools attended
  • Unofficial transcripts, score reports, and (if applicable) foreign credential evaluations can be sent for an initial evaluation. Applicants who are invited to interview must provide official documents by that time. To be considered “official” transcripts, test scores and credential evaluations must be emailed to us directly from the institution or through a secure credential service. We recommend requesting official copies early. 
  • When sending official electronic transcripts, please be sure to send documents directly to the post-baccalaureate office, as we are not able to access transcripts sent to other admissions offices on campus.  If you do not see the post-baccalaureate program specifically in the menu, select “other” or “send to an individual” and enter our [email protected] email address. 
  • If your institution does not provide official electronic transcripts, contact us at [email protected].   
• For post-secondary degree(s) earned in a country other than the United States, a course-by-course credential evaluation with GPA equivalencies, performed by an outside evaluation service. 
• SAT or ACT score report, for a test taken prior to starting undergraduate studies, or GRE test score report. If GRE, the report must be of a test taken in the last five years.
  • If you did not take the SAT or ACT in high school, then the GRE is required. If the SAT or ACT scores appear on your high school transcript, we will accept them as the official score report. If the scores do not appear on your transcript, you should request an official score report of the SAT, ACT, or GRE to be sent directly to the Johns Hopkins Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program using the following institution codes. Please do not use the general Johns Hopkins University code when ordering your reports. Codes: 5874 (SAT), 5477 (GRE), 1729 (ACT).
• Application fee of $60, payable by credit card only. Payment link will be available after submission of application. Read more about fee waivers.
• Resume
• Two letters of evaluation. One letter should come from a member of the faculty in your major area of study from the undergraduate or graduate degree program you attended. An exception will be made if there has been a significant hiatus since you graduated. In that case, you may submit two professional letters of evaluation. The other evaluation should come from another member of the faculty who taught you in college or graduate school, or someone who supervised your employment. When completing our online application, you will enter the contact information for your chosen letter writers, and they will receive a link to upload your letter directly to our application portal.
