With just a single 400-word essay to supplement the common app, JH is clearly more stats-driven than some schools. But their website right now states that they are looking for:

-academic character
-impact and initiative
-personal contributions

This is also a school that shows you “essays that worked” right there on the website. I don’t recall another school in my daughter’s list that had that. JH is telling us who they are and what they are looking for, and it’s definitely not only or even predominantly stats (beyond a floor of excellence that is most likely a wavy line).
