How is admission to the biomedical engineering major handled in relation to Early Decision?
Students wishing to enroll in the biomedical engineering major must indicate BME as their first-choice major on their applications. Students are admitted specifically into the BME major, based on evaluation of credentials and space available. Students can be admitted to the university without acceptance to the BME major. No separate application is required. Notification of acceptance into the BME major is given at the time of decision notification. Early Decision applicants who are admitted to Johns Hopkins but who are not admitted to the BME major at that time will be allowed to apply to and consider offers of admission from other institutions. Students in this circumstance will be released from the obligation to matriculate at Johns Hopkins under the original conditions of the Early Decision Plan. Such candidates have until May 1 to reply to Johns Hopkins’ offer of admission.
