<p>General Comments:
My school is very small (69 in my grade), but a close friend of mine and I independently chose to ED BME to Johns Hopkins. We had very similar stats. We were both cofounders of the same club and got our recs from the same two teachers. We both self studied APs, but he only took 3. We both got in BME!</p>
