<p>Okay, I know what they say on the tours, open houses, and special admitted students days, and I was also impressed to hear that JHU has 95% acceptance rates to Med.School and Law School. But there is something else going on behind the scenes. The process for these applications involves getting recommendation letters from your advisor, and I’m not talking about the kind of letter you get as a H.S. Senior, where no teacher turns you down. This is the stage at which the decimation occurs, and students who are not “the best” are not given these letters, and are steered in other directions. At that point, you pretty much would have to choose another path.</p>
<p>They will not write reco. letters for students who might bring down their acceptance rate down. Sad but true.</p>
