<p>"bump" as I learned yesterday, means "Bring Up My Post" ..hahah interesting =)</p>
<p>WOW
thanks dude</p>
<p>based on what you've written, the odds are against you making Stanford, Harvard & Johns Hopkins regular decision... maybe you should have applied to Hopkins early... you don't seem to stand out in any way. JHU especially gets tons of applicants interested in the natural sciences who volunteered in a hospital, yadda yadda yadda.<br>
On the other hand if you were a JHU applicant, who had a 800 on the SAT II French or Italian test and wanted to study French or Italian, you'd probably get admitted (regardless or whether you're pre-med or not). Colleges want diversity and interesting people. People who demonstrate musical or artistic talent or a strong interest to play on an intercollegiate sports team. Talent in foreign language is always a plus too.</p>
<p>Ritchieboy,
your cheerleading for JHU got to go. Depending on how Fr0GJAywaLkEr, he/she may have a chance for Stanford/Harvard. Let's not confuse everybody: JHU is no Harvard/Stanford in terms of selectivity. Looks like everyone but you thinks Fr0GJAywaLkEr got a pretty good chance/auto for JHU. By the way, how is that (or lack of) volunteering experience at hospital being a big deal? Fr0GJAywaLkEr is applying to JHU, not combined medical program.</p>
