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.
