<p>Great essay. Everyone who read it so far loved it! It’s really unique.
Great rec from a psych professor who’s a grad professor at Hopkins.
Another rec from a distant family member who lectures there about four times a year.
Major: neuroscience. Minor: Cognitive Science.</p>

<p>So what do you think? Do I have a shot?</p>

<p>Shameless bump</p>

<p>What CC in MD? I’m at one in MD also. Your resume looks great, except I think the college GPA is a little on the low-side for JHU.</p>

<p>Montgomery College. It would be funny if it turns out that we go to the same school.
I know about the GPA… It’s because of the B in organic. I’m really mad at myself for not getting an A. My prof was horrible in that class, and kinda made me hate it… so yeah.
Any other takers?</p>
