ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS 

Students admitted for the summer or fall term begin in the fall.  First-year students are not admitted to the JMHP in the spring term.  

Our selection process is holistic: our goal is to identify students who will benefit from and contribute to our JMHP living learning community.  We give primary consideration to the following:

(a) JMHP application essays, and 

(b) information from the Georgia Tech Office of Undergraduate Admission.  We use this information to create a community that is diverse in terms of major and academic/intellectual interests.  We do not consider high school GPA or test scores, as this was already considered in the Georgia Tech admissions process.

For first-year students, the JMHP fee is $800. Students will be charged $400 in fall semester and $400 in spring semester of their first year.  There is no fee after the first year.  Our entering class each fall is limited by the design of our JMHP residence halls.  Housing is available to JMHP students of all genders.  To read more about this at Georgia Tech, visit the Housing website.  

*PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR JMHP ENTERING CLASS FILLS QUICKLY: In order to officially accept your invitation to the JMHP, you must first pay your Georgia Tech admissions deposit and complete your fall housing application.  YOU MUST COMPLETE THESE TWO STEPS FIRST IN ORDER TO ACCEPT YOUR INVITATION. Note that it can take up to 24 hours for each form to process.

We encourage you to accept your invitation as soon as possible, as we fill our positions on a first-come, first-served basis until we reach the capacity of our residence halls, so your space is not guaranteed until you accept. If we are unable to confirm your admission, you can choose to join our waitlist and we may be able to confirm your admission later, should space become available.
