<p>So yeah. I have still about 1 or 2 years until i apply, but i want to get an idea of how my EC's should look like, or be comparable to inorder to get accepted to JHU. </p>
<p>What i know i should have:</p>
<p>Show passion in a paticular field (for me, probably BME)
200+ community service hours
Some kind of executive/officer position in clubs</p>
<p>i can't believe you want to SHOW a passion and do all those stupid stuff just to get into a college. i know everybody would love to get into jhu, but doing something FOR a college is nonsense. that's not what passion's all about.</p>
