2

<p>you are an ORM not URM</p>

3

<p>Those were examples of hooks. I left that section blank indicating the lack of such.</p>

4

<p>you have the academics… just like every student there. So it all comes down to your essays and letters of recommendation imo. Don’t stress too much on academics or extracurricular cuz you have them.</p>

5

<p>except for GPA</p>

6

<p>good chances but your extra curriculars are lacking for the JHU caliber. The most important thing you can have is a HOOK to differentiate yourself from th other applicants.</p>
