<p>You’re a few points below the average stats of JHU admitted students, so based on that alone, JHU would probably a SLIGHT REACH for you. In short, getting into JHU won’t be an easy pass for you but not too difficult for you either. You should improve your SATs if you can still do that. I think it’s your SATs that will pull your chances down. Other than that, you’re terrific. Sadly, JHU does look into SATs very seriously. You should apply to several schools. Good luck! :)</p>
<p>I would avoid getting a post-doc’s letter of recommendation. A post-doc is not on faculty at the university. Unless you can get a faculty member’s (professor, asst. professor) letter, a post-doc’s letter does not mean much – and it could possibly hurt you (i.e., they might ask why didn’t he get a professor’s letter?).</p>
<p>As you probably know, send a transcript directly from CUNY to the schools that you’re applying to. Most schools want a transcript directly from any college or university where you’ve earned credit.</p>
<p>thanks Jason, but i actually worked with that Post-doc a little, cuz he is the small boss of the Lab that i interned… But i actually assisted my teacher the most.</p>
<p>Not having any AP classes may be a problem in my opinion since people with AP classes will have about the same GPA/Averages as you. From what I’ve read from the JHU Admissions Counselors on the JHU forums is that they also look at your class rigor and without AP classes JHU could be hard to get into for you.</p>
<p>My school doesn’t offer APs at all… that’s why i only take College Credit classes to show my desire to challenge myself, By the way, My school is a school for international Students who have been in this country for less than 5 years</p>
