<p>Johns Hopkins receives applications from thousands of people academically qualified to attend their university. At this point, it’s a matter of what you do outside of school, and that’s what’s going to separate you. From what I’ve gathered, I see:</p>
<p>Work
Volunteering
NHS, NM Commended (although just about everybody who applies to JHU has this…)
Young Republicans</p>
<p>I don’t see much at all, unless you have a very significant role in any of the listed… I think that you’ll be among the most academically accomplished students who apply to JHU, but there’s no substance behind it… you’re going to need to kill it with essays and recs.</p>
