I am applying to Johns Hopkins early decision. I have a lot of activites related to medicine and research since I want to be a doctor:

Best chemistry project presented by the American Chemical Society - 11th grade (state/regional)
*also won the AP chemistry Student of the year award - selected from a pool of about 50 people (school award)
Tutoring subjects like biology, chemistry, geometry, algebra, Precalculus, and physics. - 200 hours.

My concern is that all of my activites somehow tie in to science or medicine. Do colleges want a variety of activities or a few activites that connect to your one passion? I was involved in the art club but I am not truly passionate about that, so I did not mention that in my app. People who have been accepted to Johns Hopkins, do you think that I should mention all of the activites that do not just relate with science or is this good enough?

No, this is good enough. Don’t put down what you think colleges want; put down what’s important to you. You do have a variety of things–educating others, service, graphic design, etc.–just in the fields of science and medicine, and that’s fine.

Word to the wise though, it you do plan on pursuing medicine then make sure you expand your scope as an undergrad since medical schools do place emphasis on variety. Develop a few hobbies, join a sport/intramural, do something non-clinically related at all costs since that is a red flag for med school admissions that actively seek diversity in a setting where everyone has clinical experience and most have a biology background.
