How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
Johns Hopkins University admits about 6.4% of applicants, making it one of the most selective institutions in the Azimuth coverage set. Among admitted students who submitted scores, the middle 50% scored between 1,520 and 1,570 on the SAT or between 34 and 36 on the ACT (interquartile range). 19.5% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants and 13.1% are first-generation college students — a relatively narrow low-income cohort by the standards of broad-access institutions. Transfer enrollment is limited, at 4.7%. Azimuth ranks Johns Hopkins University #251 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. That ranking reflects the structural reality of a highly selective admissions funnel: the number of Pell-eligible and first-generation students enrolled is constrained by admission volume, not by institutional indifference to access. For students who do gain admission, outcomes are strong. The six-year graduation rate is 93.8%, and 91.7% of Pell-eligible students complete within the same window — a completion gap that is narrow relative to many peer institutions. Median earnings for low-income graduates reach $106,100 on a historical ten-year Scorecard measure, placing this cohort in the 99.4 percentile for low-income graduate median earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. Azimuth ranks Johns Hopkins University #214 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. The pattern that Azimuth's analysis of access versus outcomes surfaces clearly applies here: low-income students who gain admission to Johns Hopkins University complete at high rates and achieve some of the strongest post-graduation earnings in the country, but the institution's admission scale limits how many students benefit from that pathway.
