WOW! I am absolutely SHOCKED I got in!

SATs:1930
Top 10% of class
Hispanic, Female
Writing Seminars
Ranked multiple times for athletics in the state (NOT a recruited athlete); Nationally ranked in a very prestigious, well known writing competition last year.

Note: I was deferred Early Decision from Cornell University’s College of Arts and Sciences. But I am pretty sure JHU’s writing program is actually BETTER than Cornell’s! Talk about a dream come true, really.
