<p>Hey I'm applying to the JHU RD this year, probably as a chem major, and I just wanted to know my chances. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>SAT-750 V, 700 M
SAT II- 800 IIC, 800 Writing, 800 Bio-M</p>

<p>My GPA through the beginning of senior year was a 97.24 (unweighted) on a 100 point scale.</p>

<p>I attend a rigorous magnet high school, 55 kids in my class, no rankings, though I believe I'm in at least the top 10 %, probably number 2 or 3. Highest GPA is a 99.4</p>

<p>School didn't offer APs to freshman and sophomores
AP Calc AB and AP Bio- Junior Year (5 on both)
AP Physics C (2 classes), AP Lit and Comp, AP Calc II BC, AP Chem-Senior Year
I also skipped out of pre-calculus my junior year, if that means anything.</p>

<p>Through my school, I've taken about 25 college credits worth of classes in various technical/engineering fields.</p>

<p>Extra-Curriculars</p>

<p>Robotics Club-President Senior year, VP Junior Year. I wrote two grant proposals to NASA and won $6000 grants in both my junior and senior year for the club.
NHS-Member since Junior Year, treasurer junior year, President senior year.
Videowall Club- VP Senior year- Just a fun activity where we put up weekly presentations for the school.
Junior Class Treasurer
150 Hours of community service at the local hospital-Sophomore through senior year
40 hours of community service at local foodbank-Freshman year
Weekly Tennis Lessons-Sophomore through Senior Year-No sports offered at school .
Attended a "Mini-Med" school for high school students-Very Selective Program
Attended an NSLC Summer program after sophomore year-Also selective</p>

<p>There have been other things, but these are the things that I truly enjoyed during high school and was most dedicated to.</p>

<p>I held a job at CVS during the summer of my junior year-Again, I don't know if that actually means anything</p>

<p>Honors</p>

<p>Student of the Month-January of my junior year-I don't think this really means anything
Governer School's Semifinalist
Wrote a research proposal for the ExploraVision competition-Won an Honarable mention
Honarable Mention in National French Contest-Freshman and Sophomore year
ADDA Certified Drafter
National Merit Commended Scholar
Who's Who Among High School Students and various other mail awards</p>

<p>I should have really good recs, and my essays have been looked over by my
AP Lit. teacher who says they're really solid.</p>

<p>bumppppppppp anyone?</p>

3

<p>You are soooooooooo in :)</p>

4

<p>You have a chance, but it's more likely that you'll get rejected than accepted...</p>

<p>B/C: </p>

<p>1)you're applying RD (fewer than a quarter of RD A&S applicants get in)</p>

<p>2) JHU seeks to enroll only 25% natural science majors</p>

<p>3) average admit last year scored 1440 (including ED) so considering the applicant pool is a little stronger this year, your SAT I score is very average for JHU and won't help you...</p>

<p>4) you're not a legacy</p>

<p>5) you're not black, hispanic or american indian</p>

<p>6) you're not going to play an intercollegiate sport at JHU</p>

5

<p>I have no idea whether or not you are in, but I will say you have awfully impressive stats.</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance. Only about 25 or so entering freshmen choose to major in chemistry. Sports aren't too important, unless you play lacrosse. You'll have a great deal of chem resources readily available once you're admitted. Your math score is a bit low, but your other scores look great. Your GPA/curriculum is also good, and your ecs look promising. Your Robotics Club stands out; JHU looks for stuff like that. You're probably aware of it, but JHU even offers a scholarship for incoming (15 or so?) freshmen to do research. I think you stand a pretty fair chance. Good luck! :)</p>
