Hopkins Hopeful

Colleges and Universities A-Z Johns Hopkins University

<p>Hey guys. Well here's the story...</p>

<p>I was so focused on going to Columbia University that I was blinded by my true destiny... Johns Hopkins. I fell in love with New York and totally ignored what truely mattered...an ungrad education (I heard Columbia uses teachers that didn't major in what they are being paid to teach). John Hopkins was my dream school (and my mother's for me)...for over two years and I shamefully reverted my attention from it. Well now Hopkins is where I really want to go. Bonus: It's close to home and prestigious.</p>

<p>Questions:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>What are the requirements for the Hodson Scholarship?</p></li>
<li><p>How is Baltimore?</p></li>
<li><p>How is Hopkins in terms of Financial Aid?</p></li>
<li><p>I have no testing done so is ED out of the question?</p></li>
<li><p>Chances?:</p></li>
