<p>Wow, you have such a strong “resume”, especially your ECs! I’d say you have a good chance of getting in! A high-match
Good luck and keep us posted! When do you think you’ll hear back?</p>

<p>Mine please?: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1565994-chance-me.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1565994-chance-me.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Thanks for the input! I believe Dec 15th is when I find out. So nervous!</p>

<p>Good luck!! :)</p>

<p>Your strong extracurriculars and advanced classes definitely distinguish you from other applicants. I’d say JHU is a strong match. Best of luck!!</p>

<p>bumpppp???</p>

<p>I think you have a fair shot, low reach I would say. Are you applying for FA? What kind of major do you want? These all matter. I think you dont have legacy since you are an immigrant. If you dont need FA, I would say Match.</p>

<p>Chance back?</p>

<p>Actually, I will be applying for FA. How much do you think that would affect my chances?</p>

<p>FA or no FA can make a difference. Remember, colleges want MONEY. A student with your stats but doesn’t need FA will most likely be chosen over you, if they’re between the two candidates hypothetically.</p>

<p>Anyway, that being said, I think you have fairly good chances of getting in. I’d call it a high match/low reach.</p>

<p>Chance me!

<p>FA will matter but if you would attend a college where they DO have need-blind admissions. Lets say it is a reach if you need FA</p>

<p>YOU DIDNT CHANCE ME BACK!</p>
