Johns Hopkins University Pre-College Programs
Program · Johns Hopkins University · Baltimore, MD + online
Summer courses and immersion programs for high school students.
Our take
Same category as Brown and Harvard: paid, open, a fine class, not a credential.
“Helps an application” is our read on how much an admissions reader is likely to weigh it: Strong means getting in or placing is a real achievement, Solid means it shows real interest and effort, and Light usually means most students who apply and pay can attend. It’s our opinion, not a ranking from any college, and a light one can still be a great summer.
