<p>You never know what will stick out to admissions advisors, but it doesn’t seem like there would be anything that would keep you out!
As long as your essay is really good, all these places are definitely possible. Just make sure your essay is in your voice and is about something that is important to you, not just what you think they want to here or just readdressing all your accomplishments.
I got into Hopkins with lower test scores, although a couple more ECs/community service/work activities. But you look well rounded and I wish you the best of luck! hopkins to see you in the Hopkins class of 2017! :)</p>

<p>Chances look good for all four of those, an ACT of 32 is pretty good, may as well submit that. Btw, are you in the IB program? Looking at your weighted GPA, I would assume so?</p>

<p>Oh yeah, and if you’re sure you want to go to one of those universities you may as well do ED and be relieved. Just a suggestion :)</p>
