Applying to College
1

<p>Hello,
I am applying Johns Hopkins as Early decision.. and some other schools</p>

<p>Reach - Johns Hopkins (Early Decision), Duke, Northwestern</p>

<p>Realistic -Boston College, Emory, NYU, George Washington, Wake Forest</p>

<p>Safety - Rutgers and Penn State</p>

<p>Majoring in Bio/Chem (Pre-Med)</p>

<p>My stats..</p>

<p>SAT I (highest combined) 2170 (CR:690/MATH:770/WRITING:710)(have taken twice)</p>

<p>SAT II
Math IIC 800
BIO M 730</p>

<p>GPA
3.7192 (out of 4) Unweighted</p>

<p>4.4926 (out of 5.3) Weighted</p>

<p>top 10% of class</p>

<p>AP classes- Bio, Calc AB, Spanish, Chem.</p>

<p>Extra-Curricular
150+ hrs volunteering in hospital in Patient Transport
200+ hrs working as Research Assistant at hospital (I know JHU is big on research, the head of the project gave me a really nice rec. talking about his research project and my contributions)
JV Tennis (Captain 10th grade)
Chess Club
Math League
Science League
Spanish National Honors Society
Center for Talented Youth, JHU sponsored academic summer camp (I think this looked good on my supplement)
National Honors Society
Nomination for National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine, a carrier immersion and leadership program for high-achieving high school students</p>

<p>P.S. I think my common app essay was solid, as was my rec from the head researcher at the hospital I volunteered at. However, I think my JHU supp essay was a bit lackluster, and my guidance counselor's rec would say good things about me, but she is not a great writer (I go to public school). Remember I'm applying ED! Also, any advice on the other schools would be very much appreciated!</p>

<p>What do you guys think?</p>

<p>Thanks for reading this!</p>

<p>I think that admission into JHU Early Desicion is realistic, actually. I went to JHU’s open house and almost applied there. It’s a great school and I definitely think you have a decent chance. Even if you get deferred, I think applying ED shows great interest in the school and I am pretty sure you’d get accepted. And yes, I’m being brutally honest :slight_smile: You have an impressive resume and your SAT’s are pretty high. Your GPA and class rank also help.</p>

<p>Do you mind chancing me? I’d appreciate it :)</p>

<p>I think you have a very good chance- your 1460 SAT I is well within JHU’s 25-75th percentiles of 1290-1510, and you have a good GPA. Good luck on 12/15 !</p>
