<p>I’d say they’re both low reaches ED - maybe a high match for JHU. Your stats are really good, but your ECs aren’t great. Being asian doesn’t help you either, because the applicant pools are oversaturated with overqualified asians. But your stats are amazing, really. </p>

<p>I think JHU is a low reach.
I think Penn is always a reach for everyone unless they have an amazing hook + great EC’s along with the usual near perfect stats</p>

<p>Chance Back?</p>

<p>^Ravens, I agree. Unless you’re, say, Legacy ED or a minority or both, it’s a reach. Even then, it’s still a little shaky.</p>

<p>You have an outstanding profile, but these schools are tough for anyone. I would actually say that you would be in at JHU if you apply ED, and Penn ED would be a low reach/high match.</p>

<p>Chance back?
