While Johns Hopkins is best known for its school of medicine and health science programs. the core Arts and Sciences programs are also very strong. JHU also has well regarded schools of Engineering, Business and international studies, the latter being located in Washington DC. Johns Hopkins is consistently ranked in the top 20 Universities. and is a Reach program for most students.
JHU uses the Common App and has a fairly standard supplementary essay prompt:
Johns Hopkins University was founded in 1876 on a spirit of exploration and discovery. As a result, students can pursue a multi-dimensional undergraduate experience both in and outside of the classroom. Given the opportunities at Hopkins, please discuss your current interests—academic or extracurricular pursuits, personal passions, summer experiences, etc.—and how you will build upon them here.
A great resource on the Johns Hopkins Admissions site is a set of Essays that worked with notes on why the admissions team liked them
As you can see , a good Essay explains what your goals for college and JHU in particular are. You should give an insight into experiences that shaped you and how you will be able to contribute to life ( both academic and socialO) on the JHU campus.
