Hello! I’d prefer not to post stats (not too keen on my identity being revealed to the whole world, although who knows? I may reveal my identity later), but I’m also applying to JHU RD.

3

Hello @scarletwitchx :slight_smile: Best of luck!

4

Hey everyone! I’m definitely applying RD, Econ major! And hopefully eventually add the math/stat or entrepreneurship minor.

7

(Oh, I’m applying for Engineering–either Mechanical or Computer or Environmental, but I’m not sure yet.)

8

Are you guys going to submit resumes with the Common App?

9

Has anyone started the supplement? I’m not sure how to frame my essay.

10

I haven’t started it yet. I know what I want to write, but not how to write it. I’m better at writing things about myself than about a college.

11

@scarletwitchx I’m not submitting a resume to me it’s just redundant info

12

I know that many chance me threads on here go unanswered or are only responded to sporadically, but I’m available to help with those. I’m a member of the just entering class of 2020, so I can give an opinion on your chances if you reply or message me.

13

Woot! Let’s get it, good luck to all y’all. Holler if you’re applying engineering, imma go BME or EE…

14

I’m applying engineering! Probably MechE (: I love the fact that JHU has an Engineering for Sustainable Development minor.

15

Hey guys! Prospective chem major! I really want to stay open to all options, but if I am honest JHU is my top option!! I don’t know I go through phases where when I write the application, I really, really find out all of the great things about the school and then I fall in love and say “that is where I want to go” and then realize that is not feasible bc i may not get in or not enough financial and then go neutral… so there is that!

lol sorry for the stream of conscience moment! But excited to apply! JHU is fantastic – love Baltimore so much!!
