<p>[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[<em>] Essays: Common App was good; JHU one, I just realized, didn’t answer which major I want to pursue, but talked about why I’m interested in science, specifically a concept in Physics even though I put down I want to major in biology, so I guess it wasn’t that good.

<p>[/ul]Other Factors:</p>

<p>Why do you think you were accepted/rejected/waitlisted:
Being another asian male applicant for science definitely doesn’t help but it’s not an excuse either. My Supplemental essay didn’t exactly answer the question of what major do you want to pursue. I basically used my cornell essay and changed a few things around. Only essay that I recycled. I also never requested for an interview so I guess I didn’t really show that much of an interest
General Comments/Congratulations/etc:
Congrats to all the students who got into JHU. Wish I could have been one of them too but oh well. And Good Luck to future applicants!!</p>

[<em>] Essays: I thought they were pretty good. I wrote beyond the “what major” question, and talked about the school itself (and how I want to do the intersession program). My common app was what I learned through baking and my family’s food, and how I can apply those lessons to my own life.

Congratulations to all who got in! Maybe I’ll see you guys real soon!’
To those who got waitlisted: this is certainly not the end for you, I’m sure that if you really want to go here (and display your interest to the school) you’ll get in!
To those rejected: It’s not the end of the world! I’m sorry if this was your definate first choice. But if it was one of many other good schools, take it from me: this has no reflection on anything. I was rejected from Duke, and waitlisted at Bucknell (Tufts syndrome?). One rejection/acception has absolutely no impact on any other college decision. I’m sure you guys will all go somewhere great!</p>
