Being an international student, I find it hard to get a job or an internship in chemical engineering field without attending a prestigious institution. Therefore, I have always dreamed of studying at JHU, a school packed with industrious and innovative engineering students.

TJLuschen - / 241 203 Jan 29, 2015 #2To me this paragraph just seems a little generic. You tend to overstate things a little bit - like using "wonderful", or "renowned" but your paragraph seems to lack specifics. This paragraph could apply to almost any school - why do you want to go to Johns Hopkins in particular? What draws you to this specific university?
