Recruitment Efforts
The Office of Graduate Student Affairs, and the BCMB and CMP graduate programs collaborate on recruitment efforts and inquiries. The Office of Graduate Student Affairs and BCMB graduate program represents the CMP and other JHU Graduate Programs in recruitment efforts at the national and international levels, including the recruitment of underrepresented students.

We seek to recruit excellence
The CMP Admissions committee takes a balanced approach in evaluating applicants. A strong academic record and stellar test scores are important factors that can be re-enforced or balanced by excellent prior research experience as discussed in the applicant’s personal statement and letters from research mentors. Our typical class size is 2-3 students.
