im so massed.. low GPA and low SAT.. low toefl score...

however Hopkins is the only and only school i want to go and it was my reason for comming U.S. after giving up med school in Korea. im working on my Essays very hard but.... I think its gonna be tough!

OMG...how do you think???????????????? thank you.

10-12 grade -nursng center 40 hours means 40hrs this year only...
im not sure if they would really care about the comm services tho..anyway isnt it all abt the numbers? sigh..........

OscarLee

My counselor and teachers told me I should not go for Johns Hopkins due to the numbers...cannot believe the few numbers block my way!! When the admission officers say they look over just numbers, do they really mean it? I hope so. Somehow I’ve never seen anyone got in JHU with numbers like mine..

Woah, easy on those awards and ECs. College admissions officers know that kids who write down that many ECs and awards only do it to look good for college. Write down the stuff that you actually put time into. Stating that you are a member of Mensa only shows that you are pretentious enough to actually join a high IQ society. The GPA hurts, and the SATs are not up to Hopkins par. You need to rethink your strategy for the other colleges you apply to. Aim for personality, and quality over quantity.
