[raw tree]

1. Rejected
2. Rejected BME, JHU accept
3. Deferred
4. Rejected written with a 'A'

[burnt brook]

what’s rejected with an A

where’s the accepted to bme and jhu

[twilit knot]

jhu only has 1 major u have to apply into and that's biomedical engineering

if they dont think ur fit for BME but are fit for other majors

then ur accepted to the college

but not allowed to major in bme

[burnt brook]

[queen sky]

hello JHU people

should I submit a 1490 sat

[raw tree]

sat score ?

and major ?

[queen sky]

yeah this is my sat score

[raw tree]

i meant maths score sorry

[queen sky]

history of science and technology probably

[queen sky]

750

[raw tree]

thats really good

but one thing u need to consider is they are very much trying to boosting them

[queen sky]

but the overall mark is lower than the 25th percentile substantially

[raw tree]

25% is 1520 rn

so yea i would summit it

if i was you

[queen sky]

alright

i'm just all the more desperate to go to JHU now that i got deferred from Harvard

[raw tree]

but just know u will be put in a more competitive pool

if u do send sat scores

[queen sky]

what if I dont send my scores

[raw tree]

hey a defferal from harvard means u have good shot

here

[queen sky]

i honestly have no idea

[raw tree]

then just the general group with the rest of normies

[queen sky]

i didnt think much of it when I got my decision this morning

now I'm having a panic attack at 11pm

[raw tree]

as long as u dont make the sin of applying for bme in jhu

u have a really good shot

[queen sky]

NO

ABSOLUTELY NOT

i was told how tough bme is when i went to summer at Hopkins

[raw tree]

wow u visited

lucky people

[queen sky]

i did the summer program

2 weeks

[raw tree]

CTY ?

[queen sky]

no the low prestige one

Summer at Hopkins

[raw tree]

oh

good enough

summit it

[queen sky]

how much does it help honestly

[raw tree]

and write a banger essay

[queen sky]

summer program

[queen sky]

that's hard af

i might have to rewrite my personal essay

[queen sky]

not good enough for Harvard not good enough for anything

[raw tree]

CTY helps alot so i assume the other one wont hurt

[queen sky]

i don't understand why only CTY is considered the best program

[raw tree]

i dont think u understand what getting deffer means

its good enough

[queen sky]

my program was so damn tough I had to drink 2 cups of coffee on multiple occasions to get through it

[raw tree]

its not about being hard

its about the aim

they have

and the impact

dw ur doing alot better than me

[queen sky]

🫂

[raw tree]

also if u can get a current student or recent alumni doing the major u wanna do to review ur essay

u will be golden

[queen sky]

alright ill ask my summer school teacher if she'd be up for it

she's a master student at JHU

[raw tree]

did she do undergrad from jhu aswell ?

[queen sky]

no

berkeley

but it's the closest I can get

[raw tree]

i found a current student thru reddit

but surely she is smart asf aswell

and knows alot about jhu

to help ur essay talk about specifics about jhu

because the prompt asks for it

i got lucky and found someone who just finished bme thru reddit

good luck mate

[queen sky]

alright let me try that

[raw tree]

i hope you will make it in

[queen sky]

I can't be more grateful that JHU has only one essay prompt

Harvard essays sent me to hell

[raw tree]

i wish they had more lol

i dont have killer grades

so leaning on everything else to stand out

[queen sky]

i have a 45/45 predicted score for IB

i have nothing else to stand out

[raw tree]

i have a 37/42

but amazing ecs

[queen sky]

i did some econ olympiads and biology competitions

and a crappy science fair

founded a non-profit with my teacher

i have a blog about history and science

[raw tree]

jhu like research based solution oriented work in ecs also leadship, academic curiosity and community impact

i have spent too many hours on this place

i will cry all night if i get rejected today

or even deffered

[queen sky]

bless you dude

i'm deciding between ed II and rd

[raw tree]

if u really like it just ed

[queen sky]

i don't want to give up on the opportunity that I'd get accepted after being deferred from Harvard

[raw tree]

its not that hard to break the ed contract

[queen sky]

JHU is my second choice

although there are many things i'd doubt about jhu

cant deny that it's good

[raw tree]

the words i m too poor cant afford usually works out unless u get full ride

rd jhu is kinda immpossible ngl

[queen sky]

problem is i'm not poor

[raw tree]

the numbers are against you

[raw tree]

i mean parents not willing fund is not a new thing

[queen sky]

can i just lie

[raw tree]

RD then

[queen sky]

also why is rd so impossible

[raw tree]

too many smart kids applying

too few seats left past ed

[queen sky]

they do holistic review right

i'm from hong kong btw

i dont think a bunch of hong kongers will be applying to JHU

[raw tree]

holistic involves looking at other people in ur region

[queen sky]

relatively rare

[raw tree]

i should have known the second u said 45 in ib

[raw tree]

nope

its the biggest group

by far

[queen sky]

wtf

[raw tree]

hk is put with china during the review

[queen sky]

......

that doesn't make sense

we're very different

[raw tree]

yes its unfair

my country was put with india for the last two years

no one got in

cuz we dont have same level or resources

but happen to have similar looking people

[queen sky]

but also i'm a US citizen

dual citizen

does that help for any tiny bit

[raw tree]

Tara Howell - Admissions Counselor - [email protected] - China - Hong Kong SAR - Macau SAR - Mongolia

[raw tree]

yes that helps alot

[queen sky]

......

very unfair

[raw tree]

you are now put in a different pool

for us citizen studying aboard

which usually consists of kids of diplomats and such

[queen sky]

but now i have to run up against all the diff US citizens in diff countries?

[raw tree]

which isnt that competitive

[raw tree]

that i dont know

only so much i can ask them

or get from digging from their data published

and interviews

just know have some killer essays and good enough ecs

u will get in 100%

45/45 is insane

[queen sky]

how the hell do killer essays work

[raw tree]

as in ?

[queen sky]

i don't think i have the mental capacity to write a killer essay

[raw tree]

thats why u get help

[queen sky]

i spent 2 months writing my harvard supps and still they're mid af

[raw tree]

lol even i hate my app

but it what it is

try ur best

and if u have a fuckton of money

ivywise ( one of those collage essay help companies ) has jhu addmission people on payroll both retired and active

sadly i m too broke to afford

but feel freee to try

[queen sky]

being middle class sucks

not enough money to afford consultation

not broke enough to get a hook

[raw tree]

i m in the top 1% in my broke ass country but lit below avg when u convert in us dollars and the us avg income

[raw tree]

can u pay thru collage without aid ?

[queen sky]

i'm top 20% of the US income after converting

[queen sky]

maybe

but it's going to be very very very tough

[raw tree]

for jhu mine is lit impossible

for state schools my family can manage barely

i was somewhere there taking notes, i absolutely love that professor

[restive vine]

omg i should have applied to the fly in

i was thinking there was absolutely no shot-

[olive peak]

My friend got into Hopkins ED!

[keen hornet]

https://hub.jhu.edu/2023/12/15/johns-hopkins-class-of-2028-early-decision/

[subtle sluice]

i just got rejected and im chill w it but my prestige whore mom is so dramatic

[raw tree]

the situation is opposite here

i m dying

parents dont care

[hollow roost]

should i include a 1-page resume (literally talked abt the same thigns listed on common app), or a comprehensive 5-page resume with all the notable activities?

[restive vine]

not sure how much time they will spend on it

i didn't have many notable things other than the 10 activities and 5 awards, so i didn't submit a resume

[raw tree]

they will go thru ur resume no matter how long it is but dont waste thier time if u already have talked about it in ur CA

i sent a resume with abstracts of the papers i wrote

other than that i too had no reason to send it

but then again i got rejected so dont take advice from me

[faint plover]

anyone who applied for economics at JHU??

[raw tree]

they have separate app for econ no?

[hollow roost]

me lol, but gonna EDII

[faint plover]

reallly???

[raw tree]

i might be wrong

[hollow roost]

no?

[restive vine]

i don't think so

[raw tree]

mb i confused it with the peabody one

[hollow roost]

im doing my jhu app for econ rn seeing nothin atm

[faint plover]

i heard econ is relatively easier to get in comparatively and not very hard at JHU...is that true?

[restive vine]

i mean, it probably depends what major you are comparing it to?

i don't think major matters much for jhu other than bme though

because from what i heard from a friend, switching majors and double majoring is really free

[hollow roost]

yeah u avoid cross apps by applying to econ

at least thats wut my counsellor told me

[restive vine]

wdym "cross apps"?

[hollow roost]

ppl from same demograhpics/stats/country/school applying to same major

[restive vine]

ohh

not sure then

[hollow roost]

its like applying to harvard stats

[restive vine]

i wish colleges would be more clear on how they evauate people "in the context of their application"

no one knows if that means school, region, state, or based on major, etc.

[raw tree]

no

jhu doesnt admit based on major

but also yes

because bme

[burnt brook]

damn jhu yield protects 🙄

i’m joking congrats everyone!!!

[raw tree]

u got in ?

[burnt brook]

no

i got yield protected lol

[raw tree]

yes yes

we where too good for jhu anyway

[burnt brook]

straight rejection hey at least i know

[raw tree]

totally not been cying for hours

[burnt brook]

weirdly i didn’t cry

i thought i would

[raw tree]

i m soo numb to all of this rn

[burnt brook]

but i mean i still have my utoronto application and mcmaster

and york and dalhousie

so i’m good

and also harvard

but that’s a joke

[raw tree]

yea i need to finish my utoronto app

but fking 250$

is kinda insane

[burnt brook]

i paid 500 dollars on my canadian apps

[raw tree]

i need to finish mcgill

waterloo

and utoronot

today

but its not like it matters anwyay

my parents will force me to commit to uni by jan 15 anyway

because f1 visa wait times are kinda insane

like 6 mths wait for an interview insane

[burnt brook]

i love being canadian

i can just wait to commit in may

im just gonna wait for all my decisions to come out

so i can have a reaction vid for each

[raw tree]

Lucky people

[errant fjord]

meow

nice

aju nice

[raw tree]

lok at lucky people

[raw orbit]

@restive vine jhuwuorz

[restive vine]

jhuwu

[restive vine]

[restive vine]

imagine being at CALTECH

ORZ

[raw orbit]

Fake

[manic terrace]

[raw tree]

i m sooo jealous

[twilit knot]

neither

[delicate jungle]

I included my 1 page resume and somehow got in

it prob doesn't hurt

[twilit knot]

yeah it doesnt hurt it just gives rhem more work for no reason

if its just a repeat of ur ecs

[delicate jungle]

i tailored my resume to be very engineering specific

it was kinda different from the activities list with some repeats

[delicate jungle]

do you mind if I dm for any questions?

[ebon bridge]

do i ed2 or rd here

[timber field]

hi guys

r u guys really cracked

RD

[smoky verge]

no 😭

[timber field]

oh

[deft veldt]

i like my ec's and hopkins public health program is eliteeeeeee

[timber field]

yay yes

[delicate jungle]

nope

[timber field]

what about EC

[novel crescent]

hey sorry i just saw this (finals week) but sure feel free to dm me!

[deft veldt]

You gotta assume that there’s cracked applicants

[timber field]

yeah but i want to see the stats

[deft veldt]

Stats aren’t everything and trust me no one is going to say they’re cracked that’s cringe

[timber field]

sorry i meant ecs

[timber field]

u should visit the stanford thread 😭

[deft veldt]

Stanford is a different breed lol Idk why I’m applying RD

[timber field]

i got rejected 😞

[deft veldt]

DW they’re the hardest rea school by far, I wish I got rejected instead of deferred because I feel genuinely like I’m being played

[deft veldt]

Trust me when I say don’t lose hope you could def get in anywhere

I’m being rejected too but in march 😭

[timber field]

who deffered i

u

[deft veldt]

yale

[raw tree]

guys pro tip dont expect jhu

unless u like depression

[deft veldt]

Don’t expect any school or you’ll be depressed 😔

[raw tree]

:(

asu wont let me down

[deft veldt]

ASU is the best

[modest zealot]

Could someone read my Johns Hopkinss essay?

[jade ibex]

DM me and I’ll take a look

[smoky verge]

i can

[warm marsh]

fr but at least i feel slightly more comfortable with my high targets

which is just purdue eng

sucks that i got deferred because i feel like i got politely rejected

[deft veldt]

deferred from where?

[warm marsh]

jhu

[deft veldt]

oh deferrals still have a chance def, especially since u applied ed

[warm marsh]

yeah ik but still sucks tbh

only a confidence booster for my target schools now but like im prolly not making it in

im at the lower end of SATs and gpas

for jhu

[deft veldt]

they deferred u for a reason, if u didnt have any chance there they would've rejected u trust

deferrals do suck though sm

[warm marsh]

ye it is what it is

[deft veldt]

yeah

[warm marsh]

if it aint jhu its either rutgers bc instate tuition or purdue

comfortable that im going somewhere at least

[deft veldt]

yeah its always good to have backups

[queen sky]

should I submit my 1490 sat

also are there any specific traits that JHU looks for in applicants?

[twilit knot]

weird

[queen sky]

Kace could u describe ur JHU friend then

[twilit knot]

weird

thats about it

[queen sky]

weird in what way

[twilit knot]

weird and gay are the most common traits of jhu kids i have seen ngl 💀

they r always chill

uhhh

[queen sky]

????????

[twilit knot]

idk thats about it

[twilit knot]

what

[queen sky]

ok do I talk about how my favorite dance genre is voguing

[twilit knot]

what is voguing 😭

[queen sky]

i'm straight but my fav dance genre originated from gay people

[twilit knot]

dont tailor urself to a school

[queen sky]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ydTfwnNScM

[twilit knot]

be urself and if the school vibes w u they'll accept u

if not u werent meant to be there

[queen sky]

how do I vibe with JHU

[twilit knot]

u dont

u be urself

[queen sky]

i couldn't help but think it's possible that i don't vibe with any school

[twilit knot]

and let jhu perform the vibe check

[restive vine]

should i take this as an insult or... 😭

[twilit knot]

no im also weird and gay just not at jhu

my other weird and gay friend is at jhu tho

[restive vine]

LOL

fair

[queen sky]

are there other traits

like personality wise?

[restive vine]

my essays had no personality so idk

[queen sky]

then what did you discuss in your essay

like could you give me a brief idea

[broken pumice]

nah this is so real tho 😭

[restive vine]

omg future classmate :O

yeah i don't think i can claim i'm not weird

[raw orbit]

Agreed

[restive vine]

my weird and gay friend is at caltech

he also happens to be a furry

[raw orbit]

I wonder who that is

[restive vine]

yeah it's a real mystery

the friend happens to have a pfp of a catboy

[raw orbit]

Wow I guess I get to meet a furry on campus

Can't wait

[restive vine]

yeah i'm sure there are some mirrors on campus 👍

[raw orbit]

im uninstalling

[restive vine]

I WIN

[delicate jungle]

💀

[restive vine]

hi other future classmate

[raw orbit]

booooooooo

[burnt brook]

damn they were wrong not to admit me then

[queen sky]

can I ask what is the difference between history of science & technology and medicine, science and the humanities

also how popular are these two majors

[delicate jungle]

hello!

[broken pumice]

squad 💪💪

[mellow hornet]

did any of you get emails from your regional admissions counselor

[queen sky]

yea

they told me to text them and ask any questions that I had

[faint plover]

Can I dm u too?

[jade ibex]

Ofc

[warm marsh]

is there anything i should really be doing atp to strengthen my app

if i got deferred

[glass mesa]

you going to ohio or oregon?

[warm marsh]

user is ohio but thats just bc atm its the best place i made it into

prolly changing during jan

or whenever jhu rd comes out if i get in 🙏

[glass mesa]

glgl!

[raw tree]

got my email seenzoned

:D

fucking hate my regional counselor

she is soo rude and unprofessional

[trail panther]

For ed1 applicants I was wondering for the prompt did y’all talk about identity or life experience :(( cuz I know they changed it so ppl can talk about identity more 😭 but I genuinely cannot think of a good identity essay

[delicate jungle]

I did both

and also I am Asian male in engineering

[trail panther]

dang what’d u talk about if u r comfortable sharing

[delicate jungle]

it had a common theme with my ps

and how I was able to mutually benefit myself and my community

so ig it was more life experiences than identity

[trail panther]

yea makes sense thanks

[raw tree]

both

ur supposed to do

both

plus also why jhu

[carmine hull]

Wait what do u do in JHU

[jade oak]

@craggy finch d

[hushed flume]

hey guys

is there any benefit of doing JHU ED2?

is their a benefit in chances of getting in?

[trail panther]

idk from what I’ve heard it’s kind of a crapshoot

[raw tree]

depends

but mostly no

past ed 1

ur fked in terms of ur chances of getting in

usually people getting into jhu ed2/rd are also the people getting into multiple ivy leagues

[twilit knot]

rd is 5% ED2 is 10%

if jhu is not ur 100% absolute would immediately commit if i got in choice

do not ed2

[hushed flume]

But is that not bc of a stronger applicant pool?

[twilit knot]

probably

[hushed flume]

I wouldn't mind getting in it tho, its kinda like that. If i get in i would 100% be happy even compared to other unis i am applying to

[raw tree]

yes

jhu ed is not worth if all u aim to get in a slight boost

[twilit knot]

i wasnt making a point abt if ed2 has a better chance i was just giving u the stats so u could decide based on ur preferences

[hushed flume]

Oh oki

I see

But i genuinely hate what ed has become now 😭

Its mostly unis locking in the strongest of the strongest

[raw tree]

man ed 1 rejection hurts daily

they did me dirty

[deft veldt]

this i got too

[deft veldt]

dw theres tons of schools out there

especially for bme, you def have a shot at any school

[raw tree]

lol i m planning to go a state school like

iowa state whose bme program is super new and not matured
take leadership be an academic weapon and beat jhu at every bme conference they show up at
rather be a golden child at a state uni than nobody at jhu but man i miss jhu soo much daily its still my wallpaper

but ehh

good luck everyone else applyign jhu

[deft veldt]

u could look into cornell? purdue, duke especially

duke is super good

dw it wasnt meant for you, theres a better match for you

[trail panther]

same boat 🥲

[hushed flume]

btw is there anything specific at JHU about the application of artificial intelligence and healthcare research?

I am trying to research, but i cant find shit

[raw tree]

purdue i will get in i dont even wanna try for duke or cornell i have no hope at those places

[raw tree]

design lab should have done some projects on it

to whaat ik

also bloomsberg school of public health professor was on the news for her covid heatmap prediction

[raw tree]

i applied ed2 to BU only to find out they dont have need based aid for broke int kids

so thats gonna be fun

[delicate jungle]

that's how it's always been at every school

😔

[raw tree]

thats the whole point of admissions take the stronger class u can to maximize success

[spark field]

damn jhu loves its researchers

[raw tree]

yes

i will miss them

[spark field]

sorry if this fits more in #📝-essays but i'm planning to talk abt my stem group that i founded, but i mentioned it in the common app essay, should i stiill go fo r it

[raw tree]

u wanna talk about that in ur sups aswell

bad idea

also lowkey sound generic asf

[spark field]

pivot angle then

[raw tree]

but hey its comming from an jhu reject so take it with a massive grain of salt

[spark field]

you ED'd so im taking it from one who knows the uni better than me

[spark field]

thoughts on recylcing my yale essay on the national olympiad team

i wrote a part on supporting another guy

maybe i could tie in with education cuz the research angle is saturated enuff

[raw tree]

here is how i did it

i had massive help from a couple of really smart bme alumni people who were in the deans list and knew their shit

[trail panther]

nah college apps r such a crapshoot someone in my class got rejected everywhere other than duke last year u should try for it if u like the school

[raw tree]

lol i lovee duke but maybe too late now

my school is on a break so they wont be able to upload my lors on commonapp

plus i still have harvard and rice essays left

i will try tho

[deft veldt]

Is anyone applying to JHU for public health?

Their program is so good

[delicate jungle]

it's one of the more popular programs

[queen sky]

should I apply to JHU with a niche major that I'm interested in, but do not have related coursework and ECs?

i really like the history of science/technology and medicine, society and technology majors

but I'm close to having 0 history coursework

[raw tree]

its one of the best globally

plus the dean is a real sweetheart

[raw tree]

they dont admit by major

only exception is bme

[queen sky]

I know

but do they consider how my said interests align with what I've done in hs

[delicate jungle]

there's no point to unless it's bme

they don't admit by major

[delicate jungle]

they consider it

but it doesn't matter

[queen sky]

alright I'll think about it thank you

[craggy finch]

i was looking around and i could not find much

i am trying to find the **specific ** groups/classes/extracurriculars at hopkins that value alternatives. They like differnt ways to get to the same solution

[deft veldt]

My Hopkins essay sucks

Maybe I’ll get lucky

[craggy finch]

yeah well im TRYING to write one and i cant find info

[raw tree]

blind frrr

[craggy finch]

welp

[civic fjord]

Like.. alternative materials and things?

[devout yacht]

me!

[devout yacht]

same tho..

don't think I could get in

[errant fjord]

thanks.

[carmine hull]

😭

[carmine hull]

Yall are insane for trying to make yourself a “fit” for a school when it should be the other way around 😭

[twilit knot]

is it incorrect tho

[austere brook]

If you're struggling with finding what resonates with you in a school, maybe it's a sign that you shouldn't apply there 🤓👆

[craggy finch]

i wouldn't be applying to any school if that were the case, i would have to make my own school

[austere brook]

Well I don't think that's the case with so many colleges out there, what are you looking for? What are your values?

[twilit knot]

ed2 or nah

[valid oyster]

how much does submitting a resume help ur application

[twilit knot]

what the actually fuck did I just read

[trail panther]

I think it depends on the resume 😭

Like if it’s repeated info idt it helps that much but if other info might be helpful probably still not that much tho

[ivory fractal]

does anyone know how much the acceptance rate is for ed2

[trail panther]

~10%

They’ve only had ed2 for two years tho so might vary

[finite quartz]

In my supp, do I refer to Johns Hopkins as Hopkins or as JHU?

i don't wanna sound offensive or anything

I attended an in-person info session where the AO called it hopkins all the time

but on the website its JHU

[finite quartz]

@errant fjord ?

[errant fjord]

hm

anything works

[trail panther]

Does anyone know what the ed1 acceptance rate was this year

[remote fiber]

do yall think i can do the sup in 3 days or am i cooked

for reference im applying to peabody and jhu dual degree but idk jack about actual jhu

[olive ermine]

Did Hopkins ever give full aid to students? (Intls specifically)

Also, does it give CSS fee waiver if I request or no?

[queen sky]

hi hate to break it to u

but I suppose JHU doesn't give full aid to intl

JHU is need-aware for intl

whether u can pay tuition will affect whether u get accepted

so I would assume unless you are like a crazy good intl applicant it's very unlikely

[olive ermine]

I understand that part, but wasn't there any instance in previous years where they gave full aid?

[finite quartz]

there must be some dw

Even Stanford is need aware but they give various full rides every year

but you do need to be competitive obv

good luck

[errant fjord]

i'm going insane

[queen sky]

why

ik im adding to ur insanity but could you please review my essay later when im done

[errant fjord]

LOL me reviewing ur essay isn't going to help trust me

[broken pumice]

idk for sure but prolly around 20%

550 got in and im guessing around the same number as usual applied??

[deft veldt]

Reluctantly submitting my RD app

[smoky verge]

shit i still havent begun this schools supp 😭

[hollow bay]

hey guys, do you think i should send my 1490 sat score to JHU?

[queen sky]

I'll submit it

I got a 1490 as well

if ur international submit it

[hollow bay]

being international is a reason to not submit

I'll submit it anyway

[queen sky]

nah man I've heard

if you're intl and you don't submit its a death penalty

my intl friend got a 1390, went TO

rejected from UPenn

there are other reasons but like idk maybe it was a factor

[queen sky]

Can anybody please read my JHU essay🙏

[modest zealot]

I can

[finite quartz]

I can too

[finite quartz]

i would say go optional, specially if you're intnl

[queen sky]

what about me

i also got 1490 but im not rly intl....?

im a dual citizen (US and Hong Kong)

pls help

[finite quartz]

i mean its mostly fine for us citizens imo

i don't know much but the jhu ao i met (he was on a trip to the country where i live), said that he'd recommend submitting it only if it shows you in your best academic light

which would not be the case if your score was lower than their 25th percentile

[queen sky]

hmmmmm

[finite quartz]

I would be happy to read it, could you read mine too?

[queen sky]

i got a full score in IB (its predicted)

cool check DMs

[finite quartz]

then you shouldn't put them in doubt by submitting a 1490 imo

[queen sky]

two full predicted score in IB for two semesters

[queen sky]

yea so i just submit?

[finite quartz]

i would say don't submit a 1490 cos it probably doesn't show your true academic potential.
you should be gold with a full predicted ib score

[queen sky]

ok

[hollow bay]

bro i'm lost now, listened to multiple conflicting opinions

I put in my additional information section that I had the highest score in my class by a big 160 point difference

do you think that would justify me sending my score?

[finite quartz]

if you're international, you're competing with so many other kids, and your score being the highest in your class wouldn't really matter imo
If you have pretty good academics, then you probably shouldn't.
If you don't and need to somehow justify that you can be decent at college then maybe go for it.

this is just my opinion though

[hollow bay]

i mean i do have a good toefl score that i can send (106), and i scored 98.5/100 and 119.5/120 in math in grades 10 and 11, so i technically do have better scores to send

not sure tho

[finite quartz]

idk how your grading system works but those seem like pretty good scores

you probably don't need sat to support your academics then

what major are you applying for?

[hollow bay]

computer science

[finite quartz]

and waht was your math section score?

[hollow bay]

760

[finite quartz]

if it was a 790/800 maths then it would have made sense to submit it but tbh in your case since you already have decent scores, sat, if you submit it, kinda spoils your case (in my opinion)

[hollow bay]

is this advice specific for jhu or do you think that i shouldn't send my scores if i'm a little bit below the 25% of other unis

[finite quartz]

it depends from uni to uni but if its below 25%, i wouldn't recommend sending it

[hollow bay]

damn that changes my whole gameplan

i was about to send it to all unis

imma reconsider now

[finite quartz]

well, i am not an ao or anything so its upto u

[hollow bay]

i thought me having the highest score in my class by a big margin was somewhat of a justification for my low score

but yea i can see how they can disregard and just not care

[hollow bay]

imagine if we could ask ao this shit

life would've been much easier

[finite quartz]

i did see people asking a jhu ao this shit lol

from what he said then, at that time i had a 1480 and decided to go optional

[hollow bay]

yeah but everybody's situation is different

it depends on whether ur int or not, ur major, ur grades, etc

[finite quartz]

true

it was an intl audience for reference

and he specifically recommended applying optional if it was below 25% and if you have good grades.

so i am kinda biased

[hollow bay]

yea i think imma go optional for jopkins

but i'll send it to other unis like upenn and rice

even tho i still am below the 25% for these schools

[finite quartz]

are your ecs competitive?
if they are then your sat probably wouldn't matter much and they'd take you in anyway

[hollow bay]

nah I'd say they're mid

the only major one is co-founding a business

that offers courses for the SAT

[finite quartz]

i got rejected from upenn with a 1540 ed but i'd say my ecs were shit wrt the major i applied to

[hollow bay]

woah, rejected with a 1540

so perhaps i shouldn't submit to penn?

[finite quartz]

look, idk

my reason for rejection prolly wasn't sat

and it was i think unrelated ecs to the major i applied for

[hollow bay]

the SAT averages for these schools are very inflated as you already know

because of the test optional policy

[finite quartz]

true

[hollow bay]

how do you think that factors in our situation

[valid oyster]

I can

I’m not too sure about sat scores

But my senior yr friend who got in for BME had a 1590 sat

So idk how much that helps

[finite quartz]

isn't bme the most competitive at jhu?

[valid oyster]

Yes

[deft veldt]

Joe hospin

My essay was so mid for this scio

School

I am reusing like mad

[valid oyster]

Same lol. Last year jhu prompt to me feels easier

[hollow bay]

the prompt is pretty generic

so that's fine i think

[valid oyster]

I got a question abt the jhu prompt an aspect of ur identity or what shapes u as an identity could it be like teamwork

[hollow bay]

teamwork isn't really an identity

[valid oyster]

got it

[ripe moat]

Can anyone help me review my essay?

[valid oyster]

Sure

[queen sky]

aight this is the last time i'd ask

should i test optional

i got a 1490

[hollow bay]

we're both in pretty much the exact situation

both international with a 1490 sat

I personally went test optional

[queen sky]

ok i am a US dual citizen

US + Hong Kong

i go to hs in Hong Kong

so

idk

[hollow bay]

so ur not int?

i mean

it doesn't rlly matter

i would go test optional

and that's what i did

but only go test optional for johns hopkins

[queen sky]

yea im not

because im a US citizen im technically domestic

but ok yeah

[hollow bay]

cuz 1490 is way below their 25%

[queen sky]

my score is dangerous ik

[hollow bay]

their 25% is 1520 or 1530

others unis like penn or rice

their 25% is 1500 or 1510
