JHU Admitted 2,793 Students to the Class of 2030

 Today, Johns Hopkins University admitted 1,982 students from 28 countries, all 50 states, Washington, D.C, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. They join 813 previously admitted Early Decision applicants.

"What is most compelling about this group is the way they can bring people together," said Calvin Wise, dean of undergraduate admissions. "In addition to their academic character, these students pursue their interests at the intersections of disciplines, communities, and ideas, with a particular interest in connecting and collaborating with others. Coming from small towns and large cities across the country and the globe, they will arrive at Hopkins eager to engage with each other and make a meaningful contribution to our community. We are excited to welcome these students and their energy to our campus."

The admitted students stand out for how they pair academic achievement and hands-on learning with deep social engagement. Many are leaders who have made an impact and brought people together through athletics, the arts, entrepreneurship, research, and civic engagement. Often, they do these things while balancing part-time work and family responsibilities. Their accomplishments include national and international awards, published research, and substantial local service and international humanitarian efforts.

Among them is a varsity cheerleader and student council vice president who mentors younger classmates, volunteers at her local hospital, and works a part-time job, serving as a role model and social connector in her community.

The class also includes a nationally recognized journalist who interviewed World War II veterans in her area, preserving their stories for the Library of Congress and ensuring local history was documented and shared beyond her hometown.

Another admitted student has already gained hands-on experience in global diplomacy, studying Russian through an immersive summer program, serving as a youth peace ambassador interviewing women from Gaza, and living with a host family in an exchange program to Cuba—all experiences that deepened her understanding of international dialogue and cross-cultural connection.

One student captained his school's varsity basketball team while working at a fireworks stand in his small town, an experience that sparked a fascination with chemistry and inspired him to design and create fireworks of his own.

And as the youngest board member for his town's economic development committee, one admitted student launched an AI-powered search platform connecting small business owners to public and private grants and served as managing editor of section in a local magazine that amplifies stories of small business owners.

Their teachers and counselors describe them as students who consistently elevate and enrich the communities they join. One student "involves himself deeply in every corner of campus and connects intentionally in every course he takes," while another is "a changemaker whose genuine joy in community engagement, teaching, and performing is contagious and deeply inspiring—the type of student who leaves a lasting impression wherever he goes."

During high school, 91% held part-time jobs, internships, or summer jobs; 66% were involved in policy, civic engagement, or advocacy work; 52% were involved in athletics; and 48% were active in the arts.

Of the admitted students, 19.5% will be the first in their families to go to college, and 67% attend a public high school. Sixty-two percent plan to enroll in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, and the remainder plan to enroll in the Whiting School of Engineering.

The Class of 2030 is the first incoming class to benefit from the university's new tuition promise program, which offers free tuition for students from families earning up to $200,000 and free tuition plus living expenses for families earning up to $100,000. The expansion builds on the $1.8 billion gift for undergraduate financial aid from philanthropist, business leader, and Johns Hopkins alumnus Michael R. Bloomberg in 2018. The program went into effect for eligible current undergraduate students in the spring 2026 semester.

"As they join the Blue Jay community, these students will form their first friendships, discover and engage with new perspectives, and build a meaningful network of experiences and connections that will last a lifetime," Wise says. "We can't wait to see what they will do next during their four transformative years at Hopkins."

The admitted students have until May 1 to accept their spot in the Class of 2030.

MIT Admitted 1,299 Students to Class of 2030

 This year — inclusive of both Early and Regular Action — 28,349 students applied to join the MIT Class of 2030. As of (checks watch) right now, we have offered admission to 1,299 students who have the opportunity to collectively climb the mountain that is MIT.

These 1,299 students hail from all 50 states, 59 countries, and nearly a thousand different high schools. Though their interests and aptitudes range widely — epidemiology and embroidery, tennis and taxidermy, birding and ballet — they are united by a shared standard of rigorous academics, high character, and a strong match with MIT’s mission to use science, technology, and other areas of scholarship to work wisely, creatively, and effectively for the betterment of humankind. We can’t wait to welcome them to convocation in Cambridge this fall, where they will join the ~4,500 outstanding undergraduates who already call MIT home.

There are also students who may be climbing other mountains, with other fellow mountaineers, next fall. Of the students to whom we do not offer admission today, we have placed a modest number on our waitlist and informed the balance that we will not be able to admit them to the Class of 2030. Getting to “meet” so many capable, compassionate students through this process has, as always, left us bleary-eyed and reminded us that what we do is more than a job: it is a privilege and an honor. We are grateful to have walked this short part of your path with you. 

If you are among the many stellar students to whom we are not offering admission, then I want to remind you success is not always a straight line. Your future isn’t something MIT creates for you, it’s something you manifest for yourself. And if you spend the next few years trying to make wherever you are as amazing as you can (as you already are), then someday you’ll look back on this Pi Day and realize it all worked out okay.⁠

I’m closing comments on this blog post to concentrate conversation in the open threads for admitted, waitlisted, and not admitted students. Answers to frequently asked questions for waitlisted students can be found here, with more information about next steps to come in early April. 

Congratulations to the Class of 2030, and best wishes to all of our applicants. No matter where you enroll next fall, please make it a better place. I know you can. I hope you will.

Yale Admitted 779 Early Action Applicants

 Yale College has offered admission to 779 applicants for the Class of 2030 through its early action program, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions announced today.

Among all 7,140 early action applicants, 18% were deferred for reconsideration in the spring, 70% were denied admission, and 1% were withdrawn or incomplete. 

“The students admitted through early action impressed the admissions committee with their broad range of academic achievements, their significant contributions to countless communities, and their myriad talents,” said Jeremiah Quinlan, dean of undergraduate admissions and financial aid. “I was thrilled to see so many of the world’s highest-achieving students identifying Yale as a top choice in their college search.”

Yale does not require students who are offered admission through the early action program to enroll; admitted students will have until May 1, 2026 to reply to Yale’s invitation to join the Class of 2030.

Earlier this month, Yale College also admitted 118 students through the QuestBridge College Match program. QuestBridge is a national nonprofit organization that connects academically accomplished students from lower-income backgrounds with selective colleges and universities. This year, QuestBridge matched 2,550 students at 55 partner schools.

The 118 QuestBridge “matches” for Yale set a new record — 35% higher than the previous record, in 2019 (87), with 52 more students admitted than last year (66). Since Yale became a QuestBridge partner in 2007, more than 1,500 students affiliated with the organization have enrolled in Yale College. 

Students admitted through the QuestBridge Match program qualify for Yale’s most generous financial aid award — the “zero parent share” award. In addition to covering the full cost of tuition, housing, and meals, Yale will provide hospitalization insurance coverage and a $2,000 start-up grant in each student’s first year. 

Yale College meets 100% of demonstrated financial need for all students without requiring students or their families to take out loans.

Among the 1,640 students in the current first-year class, 54% are receiving a Yale need-based financial award with an average scholarship of $75,854.

The admissions office has invited all newly admitted students to visit campus in April 2026 for Bulldog Days, a three-day immersive experience of life at Yale, or for Bulldog Saturday, a one-day program offering campus tours, panels, academic forums, and student performances. The admissions office will also host virtual events, online communities, and local in-person events with Yale alumni to help admitted students connect with each other and with the Yale community prior to Bulldog Days.

Admitted students from lower-income families receive financial support to visit campus during Bulldog Days so that they can experience campus life before replying to their offers of admission. Last year the admissions office’s Yale Travel Program offered travel grants to more than 600 admitted students.

In January, the admissions office will turn its attention to the much larger group of applicants who opt to apply through the regular decision program. Those students will receive their admissions decisions on March 26.

Duke Admitted 847 Students in ED to Class of 2030

 Duke has admitted its first 847 students to the Class of 2030.

Most of the students – 731 – applied to Duke under the Early Decision process, while 116 arrived through the QuestBridge National College Match program.

Of the total, 674 will enroll in Trinity College and 173 will join the Pratt School of Engineering.

The students received word of their admission Monday evening.

Early Decision applicants indicate Duke is their first choice of university and commit to attending if admitted. Duke received 6,159 Early Decision applications for the class of 2030.

QuestBridge is a nonprofit that helps academically exceptional students with low incomes apply to top universities; it has partnered with Duke since 2017.

Roughly 180 of these admitted students are expected to be eligible for Pell Grants, and a little more than half will receive financial aid. 

There are 159 students from North and South Carolina – nearly 19 percent of the whole for this early decision group. This will be the third year of Duke’s Carolinas initiative, which provides full tuition grants for undergraduates admitted to Duke from the Carolinas whose family incomes are $150,000 or less. For students from family incomes of $65,000 or less, Duke will provide full tuition grants, plus financial assistance for housing, meals and some course materials or other campus expenses, without the need for student loans.

“We are delighted that these outstanding students have chosen to come to Duke next year, and we look forward to continuing our work to expand access and opportunity for all who aspire to be part of our community,” said Provost Alec D. Gallimore.

Students will join Duke from 46 states and the District of Columbia and represent 30 countries. The states most represented are North Carolina, New York, California, Florida, New Jersey and Texas. Outside the United States, the countries most represented are China, the United Kingdom and India. 

“We're thrilled that so many students from around the U.S. and abroad feel comfortable committing to attend Duke if admitted,” said Kathy Phillips, Duke’s interim dean for undergraduate admissions. “We credit Duke’s generous need-based financial aid policies with making that possible. The initiative for students from the Carolinas, in particular, has attracted a significant number of students from North and South Carolina. The students enrolling through Early Decision and QuestBridge will serve as an enthusiastic and vibrant foundation for the Duke Class of 2030.”

JHU Admitted 553 Students Early to the Class of 2030

 Five hundred fifty-three students from 10 countries, 45 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico were admitted to Johns Hopkins University today. These first members of the undergraduate Class of 2030 include students admitted through Early Decision I and the university's third cohort of QuestBridge Scholars. The QuestBridge National College Match connects high-achieving students from low-income backgrounds with admission and full four-year scholarships to some of the nation's most selective colleges and universities.

"We are honored by the number of talented students from around the world who have selected Hopkins as their top choice when applying to college," said Calvin Wise, dean of undergraduate admissions. "Not only are these students among the best and brightest in the world, but through their applications we saw a shared enthusiasm for connecting with their peers and actively contributing to their communities in meaningful ways."

Among those admitted today are:

The founder of a nonprofit engaging teens in providing relief to victims of political conflict, including medical missions in Eastern Europe, West Africa, and the Middle East.

A poet laureate of their high school who creates works to commemorate school events and who founded the Human Club, where students gather to discuss what it means to be human, from philosophy to science.

A student who walked Martha Stewart through the steps to graft different citrus varieties onto an established tree on an episode of Martha Gardens, using skills honed through their family-owned citrus farm.

The founder and portfolio manager of their school's investment fund.

An engineer who created a 3D-printed mobility device for their pet corgi.

The admitted students demonstrate a shared interest in fostering connections and building community through the ways they spend their time. One student developed an app to help friends locate one another during festivals, while another led engagement between their high school and the broader neighborhood by organizing tailgates, homecoming events, dances, and food and blood drives. The cohort also includes entrepreneurs, patent-pending inventors, international award-winning artists and performers, and an Olympic youth skier and ice skater.

Their teachers and counselors describe them as charismatic leaders who help to build interest and participation in school clubs and forge connections among their peers. They are critical thinkers who "avoid easy answers" and are "unafraid of honest conversation." One English teacher recalled her student's ability to engage his classmates in considering a more nuanced understanding of their novel's protagonist. As "translators between worlds," they excel at drawing connections across disciplines and applying what they learn in the classroom to the outside world. During high school, 89% held part-time jobs, internships, or summer jobs; 64% were involved in athletics; 48% were active in the arts; and 46% were involved in policy, civic engagement, or advocacy work, showing their initiative to drive change in their communities.

Of the admitted students, 19% will be the first in their families to go to college, and 56% attend a public high school. Sixty-three percent plan to enroll in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, and the remainder plan to enroll in the Whiting School of Engineering.

The Class of 2030 is the first incoming class to benefit from the university's new tuition promise program, which offers free tuition for students from families earning up to $200,000 and free tuition plus living expenses for families earning up to $100,000. The expansion builds on the $1.8 billion gift for undergraduate financial aid from philanthropist, business leader, and Johns Hopkins alumnus Michael R. Bloomberg in 2018. The program will go into effect for eligible current undergraduate students in the spring 2026 semester.

"We're excited to welcome the first members of the Class of 2030 to campus during a historic moment, as the university celebrates its 150th anniversary," Wise said. "As Blue Jays, these students will dive into their passions, discover lifelong friendships, and join a community that warmly welcomes them. We look forward to the first steps they take, the connections they pursue, and the relationships they build over their four years at Hopkins."

The remainder of the Class of 2030 will be selected from the Early Decision II and Regular Decision applicant pools. Early Decision II and Regular Decision applications are due by 11:59 p.m. EST on Jan. 2. Early Decision II decisions will be released Feb. 13, and regular admissions decisions will be announced March 18.
