<p>Come on guys, will chance back :D</p>

3

<p>try to get ur SATs up to 2250+ and write stellar essays (easier said than done) and then just hope they like u…anyway, it’s a crapshoot</p>

<p>gl</p>

4

<p>Thanks, I’m trying with those sat scores, let’s hope for the best
anyone else???</p>

5

<p>I dont see you getting into Columbia or Swarthamore. JHU and CMU are low reaches, the rest u shud be fine.</p>

6

<p>uh is jhu really that easy to get into?? 1500 sat score is kinda low… no?</p>

7

<p>@kelloggss that 1550 is when I took them in eighth grade
and do you guys really think i have a higher chance at Cornell and stony brook’s md. Program than JHU?</p>

8

<p>i would say it all depends on ur scores…unless u get at least a 2250, i dont quite see u in cornell. just my opinion…</p>

9

<p>Well I have to assume that affirmative action is going to really be your friend. Any African-American with an AP resume, a good gpa, and good sat scores is going to be snapped up.</p>
