The Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University

Applying to college involves a lot of time and energy from all concerned, so before we assemble an application package for you, I want you to know a little more about the programs we offer.

Obviously, we can't promise in advance that you will be accepted to Peabody, but we can give you a general idea of what kind of background is associated with those who are successful. This is not easy to do, so we ask that you keep three things in mind:

1. This information is generally consistent with official school documents, but much of what I will tell you is just a result of my own observations over the years.
2. I have included some statistics on the percent of our applicants who are accepted (also known as the "acceptance rate"). If these numbers seem high compared to other schools it is because we tend to attract successful applicants. Our success in helping students know whether or not to apply is reflected in a relatively high acceptance rate for some of our majors.
3. In sharing all this information with you, I don't want to risk discouraging qualified people who may not exactly match up with the descriptions. So, if there is a little doubt in your mind about your qualifications, or if you feel that you are a special case, I urge you to go ahead and request (or download) an information package.
