<p>Asian Male (chinese)
UW GPA: 4.00 class rank 1: (shared with 6-7 people)
4 AP classes senior year. Taking the most rigorous course <em>available</em> for our school.
Junior
planning to ED <em>Johns Hopkins</em></p>

<p>Lets start with my weaknesses
SAT I:
Reading-510
Writing-520
Math-740
(Going the ACT path)</p>

<p>ACT: first time ~2 hour study
Math-34
Science-31
Reading-25
English-21
Composite-28</p>

<p>My goal is to get a 30 composite on the ACT</p>

<p>EC:
Music and lots of it- Piano for 7 years. 7-8 trophies. District winner and state participant. Attended a summer camp my sophomore year. ~$1,000 scholarship winnings. In a music organization that aids children into developing music in their lives. I also play violin. In the top orchestra since freshman year. Deciding to quit orchestra my senior year to take college chem. I think I already have too much music in my life and it takes up a lot of time.</p>

<p>High School Basketball Team: JV as of now and planning to play Var next year but that will be after apps.</p>

<p>Apprentice for a research project in environmental chem-~300 hours</p>

<p>Interning a doctor/surgeon~30 hours</p>

<p>Academic Allstars finalist-performing arts category</p>

<p>Mathclub vice-president, NHS, Science club, Link crew (aid incoming 8th graders with HS) </p>

<p>Extra:
Legacy-Brother attending JHU.</p>

<p>Questions:
obviously... my chances
Should I totally disregard SAT and go ACT route?
Should I drop my orchestra class for College chem? (Our school doesnt offer AP chem)</p>

<p>Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>The difference between your ACT and SAT is negligible.</p>

<p>But Hopkins will probably pass ED. If you're applying for Premed, they'll definitely pass.</p>

<p>If it's your dream school, then still apply. But load your list with more reasonable options.</p>
