<p>^wow lol that’s really funny…i was waitlisted at both MIT and Hopkins.</p>
<p>Tufts syndrome does not apply somewhere like Johns Hopkins. No one is overqualified.</p>
<p>i got waitlisted too. but i didnt interview, havent visited, and got 2030 sats haha. whatre the chances of getting in off the waitlist?</p>
<p>I showed no interest in JHU (no interview, campus visit, etc.) because I was certain I would be rejected (got in with a 1930 SAT score). So while I think it is important to show interest in the school, I don’t think it is a make or break factor.</p>
<p>I epically pwned my interest essay to JHU. I think that is the only reason why I got into JHU. My essay was really geared towards answering their question. I wish I can show it to everyone. It was decorated with various colorful ornaments that visually depicted the content of my essay…</p>
<p>I guess admissions has already seen enough of the copy-paste generic versions of essay responses. REALLY, personalized essays with individuality does make a strong difference!</p>
