Chances at JHU?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Johns Hopkins University

Ok sooo it’s that time of the year again and I’m really stressed out here. I’m a senior in highschool and I would just like feedback (preferably from those that know what they’re talking about) on my chances at John Hopkins University ED disregarding my essays and rec. Here’s my stats:

-13th in class of 708 students
-Will have taken 16 APs by end of senior year.
-Got two Bs in calc AB and calc BC junior year (no Bs prior to that)
-All other grades are As but low As (90s basically)
-NMSQT semi qualifier
-35 ACT 11 on essay (36 science and writing, 35 reading, 32 math)
-allstate clarinitist all 4 years
-created and is president of music club that plays at elderly homes. (Will have a student article written about us which I will put a link on my common app)
-secretary and co founder of non profit organization (FYE= Fostering Youth Education) Website will be created soon
-got award at HOSA for 300 service hours
-Varsity tennis sophomore year and probably senior year (fell to JV junior year)
-AP scores are pretty bad except psych(4) bio(4) human(5) world(4). Will submit these 4.

-760 in sat subject 2 math, 780 in korean, will take bio in october

-Member of debate club, varsity academic bowl
-competed in state and international leadership conference in HOSA but sadly did not place…
-bunch of volunteer hours
-have a job at kumon

-NHS and NSHS member
-shadowed dermatologist over summer of junior year. Prior to that, volunteer at elderly homes in summer.

Finally, I am an asian male and really want to do pre med at JHU and hopefully also go to med school to become a plastic surgeon. Please give me an honest review and I am open to criticisms. Thank you!

From the many hours i’ve spent stalking this site, I’d say your chances are about as good as an asian male could have. Jokes aside, your interests towards being a plastic surgeon after premed are apparent, and they’re probably going to be most interested in that, since most of the other things you’ve done are fairly steriotypical to your culture. If you focus on that, and apply ED you probably have a 40% chance. But really any guess is as good as any. Hoped this helped :slight_smile:

Objective stats are competitive - ECs look solid as well. Work on the essays to give yourself the best shot possible. Beyond that no one can say.

Good luck!

Pretty identical to my stats, especially being all-state in music. I got in, so your chances are pretty good

Yeh, when I went there, Hopkins liked to see all AP classes or similar and good standardized test scores. So you fit the profile.
