A sealed envelope containing official transcripts of all college and university study should be obtained by the applicant. Students applying to more than one department must have copies for each department. If information on current courses is not included on the transcripts, applicants should send a list of current courses and any other courses that will be taken before beginning graduate study at Johns Hopkins. When you have all transcripts in sealed envelopes, enclose along with letters of recommendation, application form and writing sample, and follow mailing instructions. Letters of Recommendation Applicants should ask faculty members to write letters of recommendation for them.
Most graduate departments require at least two recommendations.
Please ask your recommenders to seal and sign the recommendation envelope and return it directly to you. If applying to more than one department, please send your application packet to the Graduate Admissions Office at the same address, eliminating the department name. Foreign Language Students who have taken a standardized foreign language test should have their scores sent to the university. Financial Assistance Complete items 27 and 28 in order to be considered for university financial assistance. There are no separate forms for this purpose.
