Chances at Hopkins?

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I am extremely interested in JHU and I applied ed. </p>

<p>Texas...
1420 SAT(780 math 640 CR) 12 on the writing 32 ACT
690 Chem SAT II, 800 Math Level II
Chemistry AP test 5
I am expecting great LORs, both teachers love me and I have an A in AP biology which is huge at my school.
I have a low gpa(3.3 out of 4) but I took the highest course load(bout 14 AP's overall)
My ec's are great, eagle scout, 3 months of medical research with a 3rd place research award at a major competition, math honors society, varsity trivia team captain(its fun), 445 hrs. at a local hospital. Also working on a personal research project for the YES competition(pretty big). 2 years in marching band, and 3 in Jazz band(1st tenor sax)</p>

<p>My essay is pretty good, good story and my english teachers told me that it has a very high level of complexity. </p>

<p>I have a LOR from a distinguished professor at a university. </p>

<p>Basically, my gpa does not represent my academic skills at all, my test scores prove all of them wrong. I am at a hard high school and my motivation went down the drain early in high school. I sort of explained this in my essay. </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Please chance me...I really want to know
Also please tell me my chances for RD at emory, rice, cornell, and umich</p>

<p>Also, add any other good reach schools that you think I have a chance at.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>solid scores , eagle scout , and great volunteering and ec's should get u in ed i think...however its not for sure</p>

<p>You have a decent shot at Hopkins unless you are applying for biomed engineering.</p>

<p>I have similar stats as you...and I also applied ED.
You have pretty good volunteering and EC. I hope we could both get in.</p>

<p>If it wasn't for your GPA, you would be in.</p>

<p>They're going to question that...so make sure you get extremely good grades for your mid-year report. If you get mostly A's and few B's, you're in.</p>

<p>yea, ive got all As and 2 Bs this semester most probably.</p>

<p>You have a good shot at hopkins, make sure you have good mid year grades.</p>

<p>retake your SAT and I think youll be okay..</p>

<p>bump, retake my SAT why?</p>

<p>wait hehe if its on the old 1600 scale than dont.. it its on the 2400 then retake... sorry thats was a really dumb comment</p>
