<p>P.S. I think my common app essay was solid, as was my rec from the head researcher at the hospital I volunteered at. However, I think my JHU supp essay was a bit lackluster, and my guidance counselor's rec would say good things about me, but she is not a great writer (I go to public school). Remember I'm applying ED! Also, any advice on the other schools would be very much appreciated!</p>
<p>What do you guys think?</p>
<p>Thanks for reading this!</p>
