I think you’re good, man. The only hindrance may be if you’re applying to BME because of the lower application rate, but I really think that you’re a strong candidate who has the coursework and ECs (and Hopkins cares more about the grades than the ECs, I think, especially for engineering) to show that you’ll be a successful engineering student.

Really? does the Sister thing also help? and nope no BME im applying CME

4

I don’t know how much legacy is weighted, but I think your stats speak for themselves. And by CME do you mean Civil, Computer, or Chemical/Biomolecular Engineering? It doesn’t matter for whether or not you’ll get in, but we say Civ-E, ECE, and Chem-B-E here at Hopkins, lol :wink:

5

Chemical/Biomolecular Engineering, lol. you are a hopkins student?
