JHU Supplemental Question

Prompt: Write a brief essay (300-400 words) in which you respond to the following question: Successful students at Johns Hopkins make the biggest impact by collaborating with others, including peers, mentors, and professors. Talk about a time, in or outside the classroom, when you worked with others and what you learned from the experience.

Is this considered a why JHU essay? In my essay, I didn’t talk about JHU at all but instead, answered the prompt. Do I have to connect my message back to JHU?

No, you should have answered the question, just as you did. At the heart of every essay is “why would JHU want me.” They want people that can work together and hopefully your essay showed them that.
