<p>ok cjsathos, let me try to answer your questions:</p>
<p>(1) regional representatives are the adcoms at Hopkins – they each have a specific territory they recruit in and read apps from. you can see the list here: <a href=“http://apply.jhu.edu/contact/staff.html[/url]”>http://apply.jhu.edu/contact/staff.html</a> . It is always good if you have questions to send them an e-mail, but don’t stalk them – they don’t like that.</p>
<p>(2) essays – they are important, do well on them. Your transcript is most important, then resume, then essays.</p>
<p>(3) recommendations - to apply you are required to submit two, one from a counselor and one teacher. you can send more if you want but not too many. i’d say 4 or 5 is the max.</p>
<p>good luck</p>
