Some more info:

For my essay, I wrote about failure and learning about the benefits of it from a young age when I messed up on stage at Carnegie hall when I was 8.

I have a few safeties (UConn, Drexel, University of Buffalo, and more) and my intended major is Neuroscience

My recommendations are great

So far, I applied to Tulane, BU, Northeastern, College of New Roschelle, and Drexel

Sorry I keep forgetting information!

I am a peer tutor and a peer leader (which are very selective in our school). I’m currently working on a Capstone project to create a foundation to supply seasonal goods to homeless people in NYC.

I think you can get into JHU if you really play up the URM card and they might even let you in with a 30 on your ACT

Did you get in? Results should be out by now right?
