<p>I scored a 2090 (660 CR 700 M 730 R) on the SAT 1 and a 770 and 710 on the Bio and Math 1 subject tests. Are these scores sufficient enough for Johns Hopkins? I'm a URM with average EC's.</p>
<p>bump. bump bump</p>
<p>What is your GPA and what type of course load?</p>
<p>Not good enough </p>

<p>If you look over on the accepted thread you will see that a URM male was accepted with a 2090.</p>
<p>I’d say the subject tests are fine, but the SAT could use a little improving… (Raise the CR to 700+ and the math to 740+)</p>
<p>I have a 4.0 GPA and I’m in like the top 3% of my class.</p>
<p>The SAT and GPA arent the most important things. As long as you have a 3.5 unweighted GPA,SAT II are in the 700’s, and SAT scores that are within the college board 50 percentile for the school you should be fine. What they look for is your character, essays are really important, along with what you do outside of school. My GPA was a 3.66 and SAT ( Math 710 Reading 720 Writing 610) and i got in. I am URM. My SAT 2 were Bio 710 and Math LV 1 710. They wanna see that you are a hard worker. I personally slacked off my freshman year and ended that year with a 3.1 (straight B’s and one A in P.E) after that i got serious with school and have been receiving mostly A’s a couple of B’s here and there but not many. They wanna see that you challenge yourself with a demanding course load. I am graduating high school with around 100 college credits( even though i know they will only accept 12 max) and its not like they were easy courses either, General Chemistry I and II, Microbiology, Physics all with there corresponding labs. They wanna see how you spend your summers. The summer going into Senior year i participated in a Summer medical program( where i got to dissect a real human cadaver) orchestrated by the Miller School Of Medicine, took 4 Dual Enrollment courses ( Statistics, Theater, Psychology, Fundamentals of Speech and communication), and because my father became ill i had to manage his business. I would wake up at 6 in the morning to take the Metro rail downtown the the medical campus, program would end at 5 p.m, then i would head the the community college were i was taking my Dual enrollment courses from 6 to around 9:30 p.m, get home at like 10 finish the business taxes, for the day every Monday through Thursday, and i still managed to have a girlfriend and hang out with friends on the weekends, and be a youth leader on Friday. I finished with all A’s in the courses, was chosen as the model student of the Medical Program, and kept my fathers business and my family from financial ruins. Its not all about grades those are just benchmarks you need to meet, what truly matters is the character and person you are and how you show them through your essays and transcript. They need to see clearly who you are without ever really meeting you most of the times. The admission committee selection is a long process i was told that several people see your application and if anyone of them thinks your not the type of student Hopkins wants( students who are hard working and who will take advantage of all the amazing resources Hopkins has to offer) your are denied admission. Think beyond GPA and SAT scores they are just benchmarks.</p>
<p>Ohh and i have a full ride everything paid for, along with an extra 2 to 3 thousand dollars credit for me to use for my personal expenses, travel, and books. Again your character is the most important factor once you reach the benchmarks.</p>
<p>I didn’t read the novel written above but I can say this: the admissions process is often rather arbitrary, at any school. Expect severe disappointment as well as pleasant surprise. It goes both ways. Good luck.</p>
<p>Biomedical Engineer with 770 M 670 CR and 660 W and 3.7 UW HS GPA. you don’t have to be perfect, but it’s good to be passionate.</p>
<p>Though stats aren’t everything (and yours are okay as of now) and being a URM with a 4.0 certainly helps, every little thing to help you stand out is good. If I were you, I would retake the SAT (if you haven’t already) and give the ACT a shot because some people just find it much easier. It’ll be worth the money and effort if it’s the difference between getting in and not.</p>
