<p>So do I have any chance at Johns Hopkins? Or is this a far away dream for me?</p>
<p>I'm hoping to major in Biology and Neuroscience because of my passion for the brain and how it works. It really interests me how the brain is still an undiscovered goldmine just waiting to be studied. One of the major reasons I want to go here is for Johns Hopkins excellent Neuroscience program. And unlike a lot of other people I know, I'm actually dedicated to learning as opposed to just trying to make a lot of money. That's probably why I don't mind having such a large debt after college.</p>
