Hey guys, new to CC. Im applying to JHU ED (done with common app and everything, just waiting until all of application materials are ready) and i have a few questions.
My stats are -
1.Middle Eastern
2. 3.0 UW cummulative
3. varsity lax for 3 years
4.TONS of community service at hospital, something I’ve included a bunch in my Common App and JHU essay
5. 32 ACT

Anyways, my questions are-

1.Can I also send in a letters of recommendation from my dean, my coach (who is also a judge so it’ll look pretty good), and my coworker?
2.Im planning on recording a video of myself explaining my interest in JHU and their neuroscience program, how will that fare with my app?
3.What are my chances?

Im really praying that I get into JHU, because I LOVE JHU. but then again, God is absent in college admissions lol
Please let me know what you guys think thankkkkkssss

  1. Yes, but I would stick to two (You already will have two teacher recs, so maybe not the dean?).
  2. I wouldn't. You're already submitting extra materials, and I believe that Hopkins has an essay prompt that allows you to express your interest in JHU and your major.
  3. I couldn't say. Assuming that you're planning to play lacrosse in college, your athlete status might help you out some, but a 3.0 GPA is the minimum considered for many of the more selective schools, and Hopkins might have a higher standard for its students, since it's so academically rigorous. That would be the main thing holding you back, I think.
