<p>I'm currently a junior in High School and I have taken my SATs, but I have not received my score reports yet, so I know it will be difficult for you to guys to decide what my chances are at Hopkins or UPenn, but I was just wondering how I look <em>so far</em>. My guidance counselor said I have a chance at Penn, but I'm not so sure, based on my grades, so please let me know what you think, guys.</p>

<p>My projected SAT scores are in the 2200-2350 range.
Projected ACT - 31-36.</p>

<p>So here is what I have so far:</p>

<p><em>I also took a summer Microbiology course at the community college nearby, and passed with an A, but I don't know how much that counts.</em></p>

<p>1: Don’t do chance mes if you can’t provide SATs. Also what is your unweighted GPA?</p>

<p>I am not a huge fan of these “chance me” threads. If you’d like to know where you would fit in, then how about looking up Johns Hopkins University’s mean statistics, and then judging for yourself.</p>

<p>The admissions department evaluation of your other credentials, such as extracurricular activities or rigor of schedule, is completely subjective.</p>

<p>And one more thing…seriously? Projected ACT/SAT? How can you project that!</p>

<p>I can understand projecting an SAT maybe, from a PSAT. But an ACT?</p>

<p>your SATs would be good for Hopkins, but to be honest, I thought I was going to get a 2300 and only got a 1900. Then I studied harder and got 2100. If you get 2300, you’ll be a strong candidate. But the guy above me is right, that is rediculous to predict. Also, your ECs are kind of low.</p>
