Applying RD, do I have a shot?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Johns Hopkins University

<p>GPA: 3.81 UW, 4.5 W(not reported though)
Rank: 45/350 --> this is unweighted, no weight AT ALL to APs and Honors classes, I've took the hardest course load and all that. My school is competitive, 15-25 students to Ivies/T-20 schools each year out of ~350 students
SAT: 2290 (780M, 760CR, 750W)</p>

<p>Alright, with ECs I won't go into much detail, but basically I'm interest in robotics. I've spent the last two years at a university lab doing research related to robotics/CS(bulk of my time outside of school, lol). I've been published, how much does that help? Some ECs as well, such sports, clubs, but robotics has been the main focus.</p>

<p>Don’t apply to Hopkins, apply to MIT, Carnegie Mellon, or Worcester Polytechnic. They have the best robotics. Also, are you black? Your names hints that?</p>

<p>I am applying to CMU. I liked JHU b/c of its size and overall academics, and the non-BME engineering programs are still solid if not strong. I’m not black, lol, but you can google my username if you want…</p>
