50% ED acceptance rate for JHU?! My chances?

[MaydayLove]

<p>According to the US news, JHU accepts 50% of its ED applicants and 25% of its RD ones. Is this data reliable? </p>

<p>What is the chance of a magnet student with 3.5 uw GPA in very challenging classes, 4.3 w GPA and 1800 SAT (planning to take it again) applying early? </p>

<p>My ECs are ok but I have a strong background in science and scientific research (I've been interning at labs for the past three summers and am still going there during weekends of my senior year). </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>No. This past year, JHU’s RD acceptance rate was 18%. I don’t know what ED was.</p>
