<p>Things going for you:<br>
Good grades
Washington State
Unique community involvement with your business!
Hopkins reads everything as a whole so it’s not all about numbers! Essays count!</p>

<p>Things against you:
SAT & SAT II’s are definitely low
Hopkins probably gets a bunch of apps from your school (private)
I hear International Relations is one of their top majors and one of the best in the world, and therefore hard to get into.</p>

<p>Write good essays and you’ll have a good shot.</p>

<p>GL - it’s a great place to go if you can get in! :)</p>
