How are my chances? :smiley: I’m hoping for BME, but I really like Chemistry. I would be really happy with either!

60-70% chance, don’t take my word for it though, I’m just a high schooler like you. looks like I’m going to have stiff competition -_-…

3

I can’t see why you wouldn’t get in. BME is so competitive, so maybe not for that, but I can definitely see you getting accepted to Hopkins in general :slight_smile:

4

All 3 of us are applying ED. I’m so nervous!

5

If you do ED, your chances definitely go up. Your stats are equal or better then a lot of the BMEs that I know, so your overall chances are still pretty good.

Thanks guys! I really appreciate it :slight_smile:

(Current BME)

As vrhou said, your stats are competitive for Hopkins (and Hopkins BME). Your chances definitely aren’t " 60-70%" for either Hopkins or BME- Hopkins admission rate falls every year and the estimated Hopkins BME acceptance rate is comparable to HYPS. However you’re a very strong applicant.
