<p>to answer that question… during your summer try to find RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES… my counselor’s brother is a JHU admin person and she was telling me that in order to be BME competitive you should really have solid research experience under your belt. She was telling me that some pretty high number of accepted applicants did partake in scientific research. Personally, I know that it’s hard to find research personnel willing to accept high school help, but after peddling out my HS resume I finally found my opportunity.</p>
