<p>Downsides: Low unweighted GPA?</p>

<p>So chance me?</p>

<p>Ill chance back!! </p>

<p>Also, the ED admission rates for JHU are significantly higher than RD. Class of 2016's ED rate was 39%.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>bump?..</p>

<p>hey, for future reference, creating the thread late at night wasn’t a good way to get replies quickly haha.</p>

<p>Anyway, I think you have a great shot at JHU! Your ECs are very good, as are your classes. Also, some more info that you might want to add (though it isn’t necessarily necessary): your AB subscore from the Calc BC exam, your PSAT score, more specifics on how your school’s weighting works. It’s unfamiliar to me. But I think you have great shot! I don’t think GPA is something where it necessarily makes or breaks you, and it doesn’t hold much weight (pun intended) if you’re good in all other areas.</p>

<p>Hey! Wow, your scores are quite amazing! But have you done anything that shows your interest in a particular subject! I’m assuming you are going for a science oriented major, but of course I can be wrong. ECs such as volunteering in a hospital, interning for a bio research firm, etc. would really give yourself an advantage over the rest. Good luck!</p>

<p>Actually, ignore my previous comment-I skipped over the hospital volunteering in your ECs, my bad! I think you have a good chance for JHU.</p>

<p>Decent chance ed</p>
