S3E16: Answering the Johns Hopkins Supplement (2024)

In this episode of the "Admittedly" podcast, host Thomas Caleel breaks down the Johns Hopkins supplement, focusing on how to strategically approach its two-part question. He emphasizes the importance of integrating your life experience with your academic goals to create a cohesive narrative.

Summary of Key Points:

1. Integration of Community and Academics: Thomas stresses the importance of connecting your personal background and identity to your academic interests, showing how your experiences have shaped your passion for a particular field of study.

2. Strategic Structure: Rather than separating the two parts of the question, Thomas encourages blending them into a unified essay that tells a story of how your life experience has guided your academic journey and future aspirations.

The Johns Hopkins supplement offers applicants a chance to reflect on how their life experiences and community have influenced their academic interests. By crafting a well-integrated essay, applicants can show how their journey has led them to Johns Hopkins and how their goals align with what the university has to offer.
