Strengths: i think my essays were pretty strong i wasnt afraid to be vulnerable in them and i think they showed my creative side

Weaknesses: math 2 subject test score, didnt win major awards or start a nonprofit or donate a library

Why you think you were accepted: i framed my ECs and whole application really around how i am an advocate for youth empowerment and i think hopkins also appreciated my honesty in my essays,

Where else were you accepted/rejected/deferred: USF

Final Thoughts: i literally think im so average and i even memorized the hopkins rejection letter that i found on google cuz i was soo sure i wasnt gonna get in. when i saw my acceptance on the portal tho i literally started CRYING haha. so dont worry because u never know what can happen, try your best to be u! ik its cringey but its true
