carolyn, after reading your post you have given me more enlightenment than anyone else on this site, thank you SO much, I saved this on a word document to give to my guidance counselor too, because it takes her 2 hours to explain to students what you explained in your post.

Now, I understand what you are saying, there are mainly several reasons why I want to apply ED to Johns Hopkins. First off, JHU is an awesome school, location, it’s far enough from home that my parents won’t come bother me, size, doesn’t matter, people, hey man I’m a geek myself lol, baltimore, I heard around the campus it’s not too bad and the security will be kicked up a notch. Now the most important thing is that it has one of the best Premed programs, and I would really like to go to JHU for its premed program, and applying ED dramatically increases my chances to get in (I am very skeptical of getting in regular decision JHU because of my stats which I will post on this thread on another post). Okay so, knowing that I already like JHU, I mainly want to apply ED to increase my chances of being accepted. Hmm, you know what I shall do, let me use this calculator to figure out some rough estimates, and then also email JHU asking the questions that you have advised me to ask, also what is Expected Family Contribution and FAFSA federal methodology? I honestly would be talking and asking a lot more but I have a viral throat infection, so sorry about that, but if anything comes up I will post. Thank you so much for you advice, you’re really really really helpful, and I’m also posting my stats on the next postt. thanks again =)

o btw I am a U.S citizen, born in jersey =)
