<p>You know you have an impressive academic resume.
But maybe you should post this in the Chances? forum?
And even then…none of the posters in that forum are admissions officers for JHU.</p>

<p>And before you apply ED, please discuss the financial aspects with your parents to make sure they are ok with it. With ED, you obviously have a good chance of getting in…but don’t set yourself up for disappointment if your family cannot swing the financial end.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply! I have re-posted the stats on the Chance forum and I’ll ask my parents to check for financial aids.
Also, do you know how much they look at research background for applicants for the BME program? I don’t have any, but is it a “necessity”?</p>
