Just thought I'd start this thread for next year's perspective applicants (myself included).

Why Hopkins?

BME?

Hopkins just seems ideal for me. It's been my dream school forever!! It's almost irrational just how much I want to attend.

Sameee. I really hope it helps my chances. Do you think applying BME would lessen my chances of being admitted?

vampyfreak

No not really as it is not that highly competitive and how about premed

I really hope not. If it doesn't hurt, I may just not specify a major before applying

ED applicant next year !!!!
Definitely going for BME.

karatekid, BME is a separate answer.

When you apply Early Decision, you get your answer on whether you've been admitted in one e-mail and whether you got into BME in another e-mail. For example, a friend of mine applied ED for BME this year and got into Hopkins but not the BME program.

karatekid666

Austin, I know that. I meant I may not specify just for the general college if I decide not to try BME

I'm applying early decision next year!! No BME though...political science or international studies!

Prob as good a chance as any (which isn't saying much). You have nothing glaringly lacking on the surface, but who knows what the adcoms will think of your essay and recs??
