Will I be admitted to Johns Hopkins for Master's with scholarship with 3.6 GPA ?

I'm a Bioengineering student and I plan to study Biomedical engineering or medicine as an MS degree. Is it possible to enter Johns Hopkins with a scholarship with my GPA as an MS Student ? Thanks.Will I be admitted to Johns Hopkins for Master's with scholarship with 3.6 GPA ?
In the sciences (at least), the professors have research grants and in the grants are moneys to take on students to do parts of the research (under the supervision of the prof). If you get accepted for a masters or doctorate in many programs, particularly the bigger, better known programs, it is often because a given professor (or maybe several professors) has identified you, personally, as someone they think would be a good person for a particular project, in which case you will get an assistanceship (pay) and usually tuition will be paid.





The schools will also take (accept) students without giving them a research assistant post, or maybe a teaching assistant post (another way to get paid and get free tuition), in which case they will expect you to come up with the coin on your own.





But a school like Hopkins almost always has a few (usually several)assistanceships that they will offer to some of the incoming students. Whether you get one or not will depend on how they feel about you, personally, and how much they think you can contribute to their needs.





it is really a lot like applying for a job in many ways.





And the universities are competing for the best and the brightest, so they tend to offer the best deals they can to get those people. If they do not, someone else likely will.
