“Hopefully by participating in some more EC’s I can raise my chances you think ?”

definitely. but since you want to apply for JHU’s BME department, try to focus on either engineering or BME competitions, projects etc or at least come close to the subject of biomedical engineering.

I, like you, want to apply to BME, JHU being my first choice (and love). But, unfortunately, there is no such thing as (biomedical) engineering competitions in my country. So instead I became focused in the last 3 years of high school in biology, chemistry and medicine (more specifically first aid), participating at Biology & Chemistry Olympiads and projects, FA competitions and training courses, attending medical summer schools and volunteering somewhere where I can use my new acquired knowledge on people who need it.

So just keep being passionate about what you do and want and I’m sure everything will settle for itself. :)
