Reflection
Strengths: God must really like me? My essays were really involved, I tried to give them a look into my life and how I could transition into their school. I have a rigorous course load and I’m in a program that focuses on the medical field.
Weaknesses: My test scores (you people are amazing), lots of EC but few leadership positions?
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Jesus descended from heaven and allowed me to be admitted. I’m pretty sure that’s what happened.
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Accepted to 2 state universities, waiting on the Ivy Leagues now!
**General Comments: **
I did not think I would get in. I planned to frame my rejection letter and use it to motivate me in some way. But JHU said yes and now my decision is getting a lot more complicated. Love the school but the money is an issue. Congratulations to those who are accepted! To waitlisted or deferred-- the best of luck, you will be great wherever you go!
