<p>It’s important to keep in mind that JHU doesn’t use your freshman year grades when calculating your GPA. That said, your GPA may be higher than 3.6 minus freshman year grades. I would also like to agree with everyone else regarding thinning out your list of ECs. Include some honors and awards and clubs that you’re passionate about that you’ll probably join in college. Will you really be able to write about all of these clubs?</p>
