“The best thing to get into Hopkins is toApr 20 2004Economics
The best thing to get into Hopkins is to show that you've worked hard and tried a lot of different things (but don't do sooo many things that you never really focus on any one activity). Try lots of activities find a good 3 or 4 that you like (volunteering, clubs, sports, jobs, etc.) and be creative and thorough on your essays. Hopkins is the kind of school that sort of looks at scores but wants a TRULY well-rounded person (not just someone to keep them in the top spot in the rankings like many ivies do...)
