<p>Yanks, your test scores are a bit low for both schools. RPI’s SATs for Class of 2014 are 1363/1600 and about 2000/2400. The average ACT though is about 28 so you are right at the mean there. Hopkins will likely be slightly higher for both SAT and ACT. </p>

<p>I do think the medal will carry some weight at RPI so you do have some chance. Also I think your EC’s will help. It’s worth a try.</p>

<p>Both schools will be tough with a 3.8 weighted and sub-par test scores.</p>
