<p>[/ul]Reflection[ul]
[<em>] Strengths: probably my strongly defined passions (music, environment), maybe sat scores, maybe essays…
[</em>] Weaknesses: a lot…average extracurriculars, average recommendations, and biggest weakness is probably my grades/gpa/rank (upward trend though)
[<em>] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: i dont know!!! i didn’t think i would get in!! but im so happy and shocked right now haha~~~

35

<p>My friend cannot check his admission status due to an “SSO Failed” error, but he was able to pull up a financial aid information that states that he received some aid. Can he safely assume that he has been accepted?</p>

36

<p>JefferyJung, I am having the same exact issue and my financial aid was also posted. Does this mean I was accepted? I have tried everything and my login still does not work.</p>

37

<p>Do you guys want to make a Facebook page for admitted students?</p>

38

<p>^Johns Hopkins does that for you. I heard you get details about how to join with your admit packet.</p>
