<p>accepted, congratulations everyone
aim sn same as the one here</p>
<p>I have a question, now i almost def am not going to get any sort of merit scholarship, but hypothetically, if i did, when would they notify me of such a thing?
Also, my screen name is also the same as my name here.</p>
<p>i dunno what went wrong.
SAT 1 :1380 (math: 760, verbal: 620)
sat2 writing: 780, math2c: 740, bio. mol.:750
rank: top5% of 400
class avg: 96%
must've been the aid i wanted.
so now what's supposed to happen?</p>
<p>well, as to what went wrong. when i talked to the admissions people, they really seemed to emphasize EC's. they said they were willing to sacrifice a few SAT points for a more social/outgoing person. i didnt read your app and your essays, so i cant say for sure, but this is one possible explanation.</p>
<p>wow whod u talk to, yarr?</p>
<p>To everyone who was deferred... Bring up your grades this sem...Maybe write an additional essay that is really good...i think that will help chances of getting in...</p>
<p>AIM sn's any1 who got accepted? indianchica110</p>

<p>how can you improve urself? ur application has already gone. do u think that we may be able to apgrade our stats by sending them our new results? is giving the SAT again in january worth it? will they even consider it?</p>
<p>there are a lot of ways to improve your application. The most obvious is get perfect grades till midyear. You can also get an additional rec, write another essay, call your regional representative, keep them updated on additional awards, positions etc. Dont give up hope...all is not lost!</p>
<p>what regional representative? we don't have one in pakistan. what else?</p>
<p>AH my bad, didnt realize. Nevertheless there may be a staff member (though im not sure) who is in charge of internationals. Those are the things id focus on. Maybe send them a letter reiterating that its still your first choice if accepte (if thats true)</p>
<p>did anyone else get into BME?</p>
<p>BME '09 - "represent"</p>
<p>how did you find out, call or mail?</p>
<p>Yea i called and i got in BME as well</p>
<p>i got into BME...i dont know why cause i didnt apply ahah so im gonna call them adn tell them i dont want BME</p>
<p>People who got to BME pls post stats?? They accepted me into the University but deferred me for BME.. my heart is broken... cry cry... Don't know what to do...</p>
<p>i posted my stat above, but i didnt apply for BME, i think the reason why they accepted me is cause my research mentor's reccomendation letter mentioned a project that i did in his lab that has to do with BME stuff...i'm gonna withdraw, so maybe they'll accept u in my place</p>
<p>I wish... I drove 2 days to go to JHU's open house and 2 days back.. =(</p>
<p>1500 SAT, 730 bio 720 math ic 660 writing, a dozen ec clubs, a few leadership positions, volunteer, research, gov school for health care, IB, A/B student, great recs (had about 7), great (imo) essays, great interview...</p>
<p>DEFERRED</p>
<p>i'm considered international even though i go to school here in the US and i can only afford about half the tuition & fees each year... is that what killed me?</p>
<p>i think hopkins doesn't really look at the numerical stuff.</p>
