Admissions Advice for Baltimore Public High School
Students
Approximately 100 juniors and seniors in Baltimore's
public high schools will learn the ins and outs of the
admissions process, financial aid and college life from
some "experts" — Johns Hopkins undergraduates —
at the Excel Youth Conference being held this week on the
Homewood campus. They'll also get to hear from admissions
representatives from Towson University, Baltimore City
Community College and the University of Maryland, College
Park, who will be on hand for a panel discussion and to
meet students.
Hosted by the Black
Student Union and the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions, the program is designed to
help students from minority groups find out about higher
education opportunities in their own backyard, including
the new Baltimore Scholars Program, through which Johns
Hopkins will provide full-tuition scholarships to graduates
of Baltimore City public schools accepted into its
undergraduate programs. Twenty Johns Hopkins students will
lead the workshops, which will be held from 9 a.m. to 2
p.m. on Friday, Oct. 8, in Levering Hall and the Mattin
Center.
