<p>im pretty sure you can at least get in hopkins
im not that familiar w/ their BME thing tho, but its quite difficult to get into. but i think you have a shot at that too =D</p>

5

<p>um.. it'd be bs if u dont get accepted..lol all you need is a good essay and ur set..i believe.</p>

<p>wow ur class only has 90 ppl =O</p>

6

<p>You look familiar with one of my friends who got waitlisted at Hopkins. . . Its difficult to know, you are competitive, best of luck, and don't bet Hopkins is a surefire win because my friend did, and he was in everyway just as qualified as me and you.</p>

7

<p>do you know if he applied for BME?</p>

8

<p>If he applied for BME he'd probably still have a pretty decent shot, but that is an extremely competitive program.</p>

<p>I agree. I never consider any part of the app process "surefire" or a shoo-in. A lot of CC responses have actually pleasantly shocked me to be honest..</p>
