<p>SAT is way out of range for people getting accepted into JHU, and since you are an indian (I am also), your SAT score should be a lot higher if you want to have a good chance of getting in. </p>

<p>Everything else seems fine. Nice GPA, decent class rank (although 9% isn’t that competitive). Does your school generally send students to top colleges + HYPSM?</p>

<p>Strong EC’s, do you get any of your research published? It seems you have dont an extensive amount of research. Consider applying to math + science compeititions.</p>

<p>However, the lack of strong awards may hurt you.</p>

<p>Perfect Attendance: 10, 11, 12…seriously? They give out awards for those things? I wish our school did :/</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Also…Donde estan los Subject tests??? You need 2-3 of those. Take Math 2, Bio and another one.</p>

<p>yea i forgot to mention those
SAT Chemistry: 760
SAT US History: 730
these won’t matter much since I have decent AP scores</p>

<p>I’ve been authored in 2 papers since last year. one of them is in press and the other one is published in PNAS.
what kind of awards are you talking about? did you receive any of those?
my school sends about 20 students to UVA every year, an average of 2 to Ivys and about 5 to good private schools like Chicago, Emory and Tufts</p>

<p>Try taking the ACT, maybe the SAT isn’t your test.
Otherwise, things look great!</p>
