<p>Hello. I am a senior now in high school and I'm planning to apply to Johns Hopkins University(E/D) and University of Chicago(E/A)</p>
<p>For regular decision, I'm planning to apply to Brown U, Northwestern U, U Penn, Pomona College, and Emory.</p>
<p>I know they are really hard schools to get in, but ever since my grandmother is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, I became interested in neuroscience and I REALLY want to get into one of these schools that provide good neuroscience programs, and contribute my study to the society one day. I especially want to get into Johns Hopkins and I want to know if there is a possibility to get accepted.</p>
<p>My other question is, since my parents cannot afford full tuition, I'm in a situation where I cannot go to a university UNLESS I get 100% scholarship.. I am a U.S. citizen and is there a way or certain standard I must meet to get a full scholarship from the school?</p>
