Any hope for Johns Hopkins?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello
I am a high school senior who had taken the SAT I and gotten a 1660 on my first try, and a 2050 on my second try. I have a 680 on my Math II and a 710 on my Physics SAT subject test. My extracurricular activities include martial arts, guitar, recycling, tennis, and volunteering at the library (about 235 hours of community service in total). I am a honor roll student in all four years of high school, and I received an Excellence in Biomedicine award during my Junior year. My GPA is probably around the 3.8 range; I took all advance classes with the exception of AP Physics B and C, Microbiology Honors, Latin Honors, and Geometry Honors. </p>

<p>I know that I am a relatively weak candidate for Johns Hopkins University, so I was wondering whether applying for Early Decision and writing a great unique essay would tip the balance in my favor. If not, can you guys recommend any colleges that would still fulfill the dream of a student striving to become a Surgeon, Astrophysicist, Quantum Physicist, Aerodynamic Engineer, or Professor (in Physics)?</p>

<p>To those who took a moment of his/her time to provide feedback, I really appreciate it. To those who just look at my post, I am also thankful towards you for taking a moment to understand my problem lol.
I hope that I can repay you guys for your kindness in the future :)</p>

<p>ED is long over for JHU. and regular decision u look like that middle 50% candidate who has the right qualifications. u definitely have a very descent change. just put it in.</p>

<p>I thought the ED date was November 1st. Unless there are 2 ED dates s: </p>

<p>And just apply. The worst that can happen is that you’ll be rejected.</p>
