Hi I’m currently a freshman at NYU in the Liberal Studies Program. I’m hoping to transfer to JHU in the Fall of 2015. I come from an academically rigorous high school. I am planning on majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on economics, spanish and ‘communications & marketing’ (one of their minors). I was wondering what my chances were.
