[/ul]Subjective:
[ul]
[</em>] Extracurriculars (place leadership and number of years participated in a certain activity in parenthesis): I don’t feel like typing them out lol. My ECs were just ~alright~, nothing spectacular. I didn’t really do anything until junior year though.
[<em>] Job/Work Experience: None
[</em>] Volunteer/Community service: Continuously starting junior year at the Domestic Violence Center of our county. Various one-time occasions, including photography for school multiple times, an art festival, office assistance at JHU’s PACE study.
[<em>] EC short answer (subject and personal opinions on it): It was alright. I described volunteering at the Domestic Violence Center. I showed a lot of emotion and depth for what it means to me, but I wasn’t super descriptive.
[</em>] General Essay (subject and personal opinions on it): I thought this was very good. I wrote about how 9/11 affected my life as a Muslim American. It was really long, but it was very personal and gave a lot of background on my interest in International Relations.
[<em>] Second Essay (subject - and personal opinions on it): The supplemental essays? They were alright, the second better than the first. For why I want to go to JHU, I said some pretty generic things about Baltimore and how I can do so much in the city and on campus. For what made me interested in my major, I described a conference I went to in DC my junior year, my parents’ influence, and my additional interest in psychology.
[</em>] Teacher Recommendation (only if you saw it): One from my Spanish teacher and one from my AP World History teacher. I didn’t see them, but I’m sure they were great, both reallllllly liked me, and I was the brightest student in their classes, according to them.
[<em>] Counselor Rec (only if you saw it): She didn’t know me very well, but my school is kinda ~bad~, the other students she deals with are pretty much awful, so I look great to her in comparison lol. She probably wrote good things, but it probably wasn’t too important.
[/ul]Other
[ul]
[</em>] State (if domestic applicant): Maryland
[<em>] School Type: Public
[</em>] Ethnicity: Asian (Pakistani)
[<em>] Gender: Female
[</em>] Hooks (URM, first generation college, research, etc.): Nothing really. Both of my parents are employed by JHU, and my dad has his Master’s from there. I’m the first in my family to go to college at an undergraduate level in America, though.
