<p>The test scores are really holding you back. If you improve them, then you are definitely in the running, but if they stay in the 28-30 range, your chances aren't that good. All you can do is study hard for the ACT and hope for the best. Good luck.</p>

<p>You look like a very strong candidate. Many JHU students are well-rounded and you obviously have a variety of talents. If you think you might score higher on the SAT, you might consider looking into that test.</p>
