<p>Unless you have any substantial hooks, Georgetown and Johns Hopkins will be very hard to get into.</p>

<p>URM, parents are legacies that donate substantial money, some sort of crazy extracurricular, etc.</p>

<p>That would probably work against you, because you would be classified under Asian.</p>
