<p>Well, I’m a Hopkins prospect RD (like many of us lol), and I plan on double majoring in philosophy and political science 
I’m a politic freak; I read US constitution for fun :p, and have a deep affinity for philosophy, and I know for SURE the hopkins has a great humanity department. I want to be a lobbyist or human rights officer @ UN in the future.</p>
<p>Like many of you here, I’m going to ask you to evaluate my chance, which I think is VERY slim, but any comment will be appreciated!! REALLY!!</p>
<p>GPA: 3.77
Rank: 23/352
ACT: 28 (I’m only sending my ACT score since my SATI/IIs are terrible -_-)
TOEFL: 273 (98 percentile) with 6 in TWE</p>
<p>I’m taking 6 IB/AP classes in senior yr, and took 4 IBs last year along with 5 Pre-IB classes since sophomore yr. Have one C in AP calc AB from junior yr tho lol I’m just not a math person -_-</p>
<p>ECs: I have great ECs. I founded and co-founded three student organizations at my school, all deals with diversity, discrimination @ school, religious acceptance stuff. I also manages/initiaged County-wide gang prevention program. I work with county government, and go to different elementary schools and give presentations about not joining a gang. I was approached to join a gang once, and that’s why I started this. I’m currently raising a fund to produce a prevention video that will circulate within the schools in county.</p>
<p>Also many political campaign experiences… internship at elected officials’ offices… good awards/honors on my activism… blah blah blah</p>
<p>Essays: my academic interest essay is decent, and $10 essay… hm… my eng. teacher cried after reading mine. So I guess it’s good :)</p>
<p>REcs: great. It’s the best one can ask for.</p>
<p>Interview: I had an interview… sometime in Oct. It was just GREAT!! My interviewer told me I am a Hopkins type, and i’ll fit it perfectly. She said I would contribute a great deal to JHU, and we just had grestest conversations EVER.</p>
<p>I really wanted to apply to hopkins early but my status as an international student didn’t allow me to (since I come from really low-income family and all), but I just obtained my permanent residency so it’s all good. I wrote them a letter explaining why I wasn’t able to apply early although JHU has been my dream school FOREVER, and if admitted, I’ll attend regardless. (seriously)</p>
<p>Well, picturing myself, studying philosophy in JHU makes me so happy. I really want to go there, so BADDDDDDD. Do I stand a chance?</p>
<p>I live in Northern VA, attend an public IB school. I’m a recent immigrant from South Korea (lived here for 3 years, didn’t know how to speak Eng. I was in ESOL for a year).</p>
<p>THank you so much for your time</p>
