Allie Used Bold Honesty, Essay Mastery, and Unexpected Intuition and Won Johns Hopkins Over

Her GPA wasn’t flawless. Her test scores weren’t record-breaking. She wasn’t a founder, CEO, or class president. But she was curious, and that curiosity turned out to be her greatest asset. In her Johns Hopkins supplement, Allie wrote about a column she created on AI and journalism. She didn’t claim expertise. She didn’t pretend to know all the answers. Instead, she explored how misinformation spreads in an AI-driven world, and how asking the right questions matters more than having the perfect résumé.
