<p>Hey CC,</p>
<p>I am currently a 2nd year California Community College student interested in applying to JHU. I will have 60 credits completed by the end of this spring term. I want to know if I am a "competitive" applicant, or whether I would be wasting my time (and admissions time) by applying. </p>
<p>Here are my stats:</p>
<p>Major: Art History (History of Art at JHU)
College GPA:4.0
High School GPA: 2.7*
EC's: -Volunteered at a museum for 6 months,
-Interned at an antique gallery/shop for a year
-Interned at a local library for 8 months
-Helped start an Art History club at my college (and have been a member for 1.5 years)
-Make sack lunches for homeless people (at a charitable organization) for 2 hours every week for 3 years</p>
<p>-I will also get a good letter of rec. from an Art History teacher at my CC (who offered without me even asking)
- I will have the prereqs required for my major (by UC's) done by the end of the spring semester.
- DID not take ACT or SAT, but they are not required for admissions.</p>
<p>*The things most bothersome to me are the fact that I am applying from a CC and that my High school GPA is not very high --- I battled with severe depression for several years, but I pulled it together and got all A's in my Sr. year of High School. Is high school GPA very important to JHU ( I know for many schools, when transferring after being at a college for a year it is not)? </p>
<p>Do CC students get in? Should I bother applying? am I competitive? Thanks in advance!</p>
