<p>Hey guys, I submitted my application (common app) on December 31st but I realize I have a few problems with it and I'm not sure what to do. First of all I submitted my common app earlier than my supplement (back in Nov.) and I had a horribly written essay (it was more like a political rant than a college essay). The day before my app was due, I wrote a "stellar" essay about my rubik's cube talents and I was able to tie it in with life's lessons, etc... I included the essay on the "Additional Information" on the Hopkins supplement and put a little message asking them to overlook my original essay. Do you think they will care? Also, I have a wide variety of talents and interests: orchestra, theatre, musical theatre, computer science, rubik's cube. On my application however, I was only able to write about my cube, interest in sciences, and my $10 essay was in a form of a narrative. If I simply list those activities on my activities section will it be enough? Or should I send them additional essays about theatre (since I devote most of my time to it), if possible? I'm really worried about admission into Hopkins since I have a mediocre GPA (4.0 W, but with my share of B's and even 2 C's >_<), only a 1400 composite SAT, and LOW SAT II's (though Hopkins uses it for placement). My intangibles are pretty good (essays, talents, personal qualities). I'm pretty much relying on JHU's reputation of taking intangible aspects of applicants into great consideration. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks.</p>
