The Johns Hopkins University, commonly referred to as Johns Hopkins, JHU or simply Hopkins, is a private research university located in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. Johns Hopkins also maintains full-time campuses elsewhere in Maryland, Washington, D.C., Italy, China and Singapore. It is one of fourteen founding members of the Association of American Universities. The university is named after Johns Hopkins, who left $7 million in his 1873 will for the foundation of the university and Johns Hopkins Hospital. At the time, this was the largest philanthropic bequest in U.S. history, the equivalent of over $131 million in the year 2006. The university opened on February 22, 1876, with the stated goal of "The encouragement of research…and the advancement of individual scholars, who by their excellence will advance the sciences they pursue, and the society where they dwell." Johns Hopkins was the first U.S. university to apply the German university model developed by Wilhelm von Humboldt and Friedrich Daniel Ernst Schleiermacher. Johns Hopkins was also the first U.S. university to teach through seminars, instead of solely through lectures, as well as the first U.S. university to offer an undergraduate major (as opposed to a purely liberal arts curriculum). As such, Johns Hopkins was a model for most large research universities in the United States, particularly the University of Chicago. According to the National Science Foundation (NSF), Johns Hopkins performed $1.55 billion in science, medical and engineering research in fiscal year 2007. NSF has ranked the university 1 among U.S. academic institutions in total Research and Development spending for the 29th year in a row. From Wikipedia under the

Your SAT's should be equally high. If so,you have a great chance. I have to warn you though, it is not in a good neighborhood in Baltimore. Pretty dangerous. If you go, I would suggest getting an apartment outside of the city instead of living on campus or in one of the surrounding neighborhoods.

That will basically cover all your mistakes made prior to your current situation right now. Also try to volunteer and join clubs. Good that you're doing sports too. Join a club that you're really interested in and willing to put a lot of time into. But really these days top name colleges like Johns Hopkins is looking for unique students, not the academic valedictorians that everyone assume will get into harvard. There are already so many kids who get 2400 and 4.0 gpa who apply to those universities that your academic alone will get you no where. Even those valedictorians sometimes don't make it into the top names because they're simply beaten… [cont.] Answered by De Pazzi - Fri Jul 20 23:47:08 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Johns Hopkins University"  news.google.com Christian Science Monitor A recent Johns Hopkins study found that 65 percent of the academic gaps between low-income ninth-graders and their peers can be attributed to unequal summer ... and more » news.google.com Frederick News Post (subscription) The program, coordinated by the Workforce Development Board of Frederick County and Johns Hopkins University , was formed early this year to support the ... and more » news.google.com Austin American-Statesman ... secular," said Azar Nafisi, author of "Reading Lolita in Tehran" and a professor at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies. ... and more » From Google News Search: "Johns Hopkins University"  pharmainfo.net unknown ue, 23 Jun 2009 18:06:41 GM var addthis_pub"bdwyer";.
