<p>wow you got deferred for BME or for JHU? coz my best friend and I both got accepted with about the same stats as you, although you should take the Math IIC instead of IC and maybe your school is not so good??</p>
<p>hmm....i think what killed you is probably the amount of recs u sent them. ahha they only asked for 2 (counselor and teacher), i sent an extra one from my mentor...but SEVEN...is alot to read. also, a DOZEN? maybe ur too unfocused on oen thing, its always better to have about 4, one year each or more than to have 10 and have 2 months on each. what kind of research did u do? that should of helped u cause hopkins is a BIG research thing, also they prob try to accept more "non-internationals" than internationals since kids living in US is what matters to US schools (haha its true). i cant afford ANY of the tuition at all ahah im poor, they had to give me a grant that covered all tuition for 05-06 so far and half of room and board. again i still think its the recommendations, if i had to read 7 recs on how great some kid is, id get annoyed too....hmm...waht do u think?</p>
