i was so surprised when i read the letter. i had 2010 on the SATS and a 4.5 weighted GPA. i'm an IB diploma candidate but i figured no one really cares about that. My scores and grades are not nearly as impressive as most of these people, but my common app essay was really good and touching, if i do say so myself. but im still sort of in shock that i got in. a bunch of kids from my school applied that i thought were "better" than me but they didnt get in. this is so surreal but i am SO HAPPY!! hopkins is such an amazing school and i am so excited to be going there next year! congrats to everyone else accepted into the jhu class of 2010!!! =)</p>
