Your quantitative stats are competitive for Hopkins (if I were you I would just send the SAT score, not the ACT) and you have a good set of ECs.
That being said, Hopkins has an 11% acceptance rate so while your quantitative stats are good Hopkins will be a low reach for you.

Good luck!

@saif235 Thanks for the feedback. Does Hopkins look at demonstrated interest in its admissions process?

5

No.
According to their common data set, Hopkins does not take demonstrated interest into account for freshman admissions.

Hey guys I bumped up my ACT to a 34 composite ( E: 35 M: 34 R: 34 S: 31) and a 35 superscore (E: 35 M: 34 R: 34 S: 35). How do my chances for Hopkins look now after taking these into account?

@therealdeal21 your application is looking great. You have a nice diversification of ECs that include leadership positions and your grades look great. Before your updated ACT scores, I would say that your test scores were slightly holding you back, but now you look at or above-par for the applicant pool. I do believe that JHU superscores ACT scores, which is fairly rare, so that will especially help you out. If you do ED, I would say that your chances are pretty high. Even RD, I would say it’s a low reach.

@Math557 Stop trying to hijack other peoples threads. People already chanced you and told you the truth, which is that your chances are not actually that great.
