<p>How high are my chances? I'll chance back too.
Tell me if they are high reach or low reach for all four of them</p>
<p>Hopkin i’d say is a reach along with Georgetown but Georgetown is less of one. Carnegie Mellon you should be into i don’t see a problem in that and I expect you to get into UVA as well it’s at a high match.</p>
<p>thanks everyone! I think that helps a little bit…
but I am sorta confused on JHU and Georgetown chances.
I’m generally very scared I guess lol
and
andsowasi/ don’t worry lol thanks for chancing me!</p>
<p>I think most of those colleges are good shots for you. Hopkins and Georgetown might be reaches, but I think you should get in, especially with your ACT scores.</p>
<p>I agree with andsowasi…
Am surprised you didn’t get deferred at least by Duke… might have been something in the essays??
Anyway with your stats and EC’s…you’d be a strong candidate for all the colleges you listed out… Hopkins again will depend on essays (don’t know if they have one though…)
And you should actually apply to colleges a level higher…if you have the time!!
Congrats on your UMich acceptance… I’d go there if I were you!! :)</p>
<p>Your academic stuff is strong, so maybe you want to focus on your ECs more. Since you want to major in biological science/neuroscience, you may want to gain work experience etc. like at a clinic/hospital so that you’ll be more sure of the degree you want to do, and it also looks good on your CV (:</p>
<p>solid academics, might want to emphasize more neuroscience into your ECs</p>
<p>JHU low reach (friend had lower scores but applied early for class of 2016 last year)
Georgetown (from my knowledge of it…) reach
Carnegie Mellon (they emphasize theater/engineering) match</p>
<p>You seem like you’re a very strong candidate, congratulations!
I think you have a really good shot at all of the schools on your list.
I wish you all the best of luck with your application!!! (:</p>
