<p>please let me know my chances of admission and possibly merit scholarships..</p>
<p>thank you!</p>
<p>SATs aren't great... you might get in but I really doubt you get any merit scholarships with those grades.</p>
<p>also, just a general question, how much credence will JHU give the SAT in Korean if you are Korean? I mean, isn't it just a really cheap 800?</p>
<p>Well, I mean, it's still an accomplishment to know more than one language---granted you have a huge upperhand, having been immersed in both. What would suck is if you were Korean and didn't get an 800. Then that looks terrible. But this is a better affirmation of your knowledge, rather than stating, "I'm fluent in Korean."</p>
<p>For the rest of us non-native speakers... it does mess up the grading curve for language tests. Sigh. Oh well.</p>
<p>As for your chances, well... your SAT's could've used work (suffering with you on that front) but they don't look... terrible to me, though I wouldn't expect any merit scholarships from schools like JHU.</p>
<p>you're a slight reach. no merit $.</p>
