I am currently a College Senior At Johns Hopkins University, majoring in Psychology and Public Health. Unlike other Ivy League schools, JHU tend to have grade Deflation, but it does not cover up the fact that I have been a "B" student with overall GPA of 3.51.
Well, my reasons for such an average GPA is because I have been actively fighting leukemia and the related complications for over 11 years, and that extended to my college years as well. So this was the very first semester (2024 SP) that I could solely focus on my academics, as I am finally in remission.

As of my extracurriculars, I have had volunteer experience at Ronald McDonald House Charities located in Baltimore for 9 months (June 2023-Feb 2024) and interning under Armstrong Institute of Patient Safety and Experience. I originally started as volunteer there, but now I am an intern working with Infection Control team at Howard General <Johns Hopkins Affiliated Hospital> for 8 months now (November 2023-Present). There, I am entitled with roles as tedious as Staff Hand Hygiene, PPE, and Isolation Audits to big systematic duties like Managing Infection and Isolation Listings, Releasing Patient Isolations, Directing Preventable Harms Rounds, and Staff Hygiene Education.

Besides that, I have been working as a Freeland Writing Coach on my avocational times, where I have helped over 60+ FLI (First Generation, Low-Socio-Economic, and Immigrant) students with their college admission processes. Currently, many of my clients were able to attend America's most renowned and prestigious colleges and universities, like Princeton, Stanford, UCLA, UC Berkeley, etc., at no costs.

Coming back to my academics, I received 320 in GRE, with the writing score of 4. As of now, I plan to retake it in mid-August because I believe this does not reflect my full potential. My plan is to receive 325 this time (Max score: 340).

As mentioned above, I have an unique background as a pediatric leukemia patient, and I believe I have an ability to weave that well into the admission essays. Therefore, I would like to get an objective view of how people think of my chances in getting into Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Thank you so much for reading all this.

Sincerely,
