Interest in Johns Hopkins

Colleges and Universities A-Z Johns Hopkins University

<p>Hello,
Intro:
I am currently a rising Junior and my sister is going off the UPITT so it's my turn to start thinking about college. My GPA is around 4.1~4.2 and I'm currently studying for the SAT, I am aiming for 2200. I am the VP of our schools Red Cross club and the Editor of our Key Club. I am taking a internship like program next week doing some lab work for the military. Johns Hopkins has been my top choice for some time, and the averages for kids from my school to there has gone from a 4.36 GPA all the way down to a 4.19 and the SAT has gone down from around 2200 to 2100. I originally wanted to do Early Decision for JHU, but with these new statistics I feel a little safer with doing normal admissions if I can reach my desired GPA (I am aiming for a 4.3 or a high 4.2) and SAT (2200 or right below). Realistically I would get right below those two goals I set, so a high 4.2 or high 2100. My unweighted GPA is right around 3.7 I believe, and I would like to get it to 3.8 by application time.</p>

<p>Main Point:
Now the main question that I'm thinking of now is what does Johns Hopkins offer for me. In terms of what I would like to study in the future it is almost a perfect fit. My favorite fields in order of interest are Medical, Bio Medical, and Business. I understand that JHU excels in the first two ares, but not so much in business. Now I'm wondering how much will undergrad affect you for grad school just in case I become more interested in business. I would also love to know if anyone is aware of JHUs connections, are they good? Will they be sufficient if I were to enter the Bio Medical field? Oh, and how is JHU with financial aid in case I do choose to do early decision? One last question, how are scholarship opportunities? Both academic ones and third party ones?</p>

<p>I'm sorry if any of these questions are irrelevant. I'm kind of lost, and I'm here so I can figure some stuff out ^ ^ .</p>

<p>I would recommend you visit College *******. A very good website for researching universities. GPA around 3.8 with a 2100 SAT is perfect. They offer need-based merit scholarships and there is a scholarship called the ‘Hodson’. Visit their undergraduate studies and check that. Their financial aid is marvelous I guess as so to any American university. Johns Hopkins is a tremendous college and university for medicine specifically. If you want business think more Harvard or Columbia. Hope I Helped :)</p>
