Schoolhouse is a free, globally available platform offering guided SAT prep, peer-to-peer tutoring and engagement opportunities in a variety of academic subject areas. Your portfolio provides an overview of your Schoolhouse certifications and how you’ve engaged on the platform.
As a partner university, Hopkins accepts the Schoolhouse portfolio as an optional, additional component of the application. This is just one of many ways to demonstrate your academic character through your application, in addition to your transcript, essays, activities list, and letters of recommendation. Students who do not use the platform or who choose not to upload their portfolios are not at any disadvantage in the admissions process.
After applying to Hopkins, you will get instructions to set up your Hopkins applicant portal account. To add your Schoolhouse portfolio to your application, download the PDF from Schoolhouse and upload it to your Hopkins applicant portal. We encourage you to submit a single PDF once all of your certifications are complete.
