<p>I am planning on applying into computer engineering, but if there is an easier way to get in, let me know...</p>

<p>4.0 gpa
public school Oregon (not too competitive, most go to StateU)
1/392 rank (valedictorian)
current courses (4 AP's and the rest are college credit courses) My school only has a few AP's I am taking all of them.
31 ACT
Bad SAT 2's, wont send them
2060 SAT superscore (probably wont send</p>

<p>Assuming I have good EC's and good essays/recs, what are my chances for admission?</p>

<p>On paper you look alright (SATs/ACT a bit low), but no one really knows. The ECs matter a lot. My sister with legacy was rejected as a valedictorian with 2210 SATs as a data point.</p>

<p>i understand…I just hope im not throwing away application fees to a school with a guaranteed rejection</p>

<p>I’ll list my credentials as a freshman at JHU (planning on transferring out though):
3.8 unweighted HS gpa (competitive public school)
6 AP’s in HS, (only took two AP exams though, and got 5’s)
2160 sat
pretty average ec’s. varsity wrestling for 4 years and 2 year captain, other than that most of the other stuff was filler.
applied ed though.
So basically: Yes, you do have a shot. No, I don’t think you’re wasting 60 dollars or whatever it is. Hope this helps, good luck!</p>

<p>FirstDayOfMyLife: Why are you transferring out?</p>

<p>Assuming you have above average EC’s and good essays, you have a great chance. “average” ACT won’t hurt with your valedictorian status.</p>
