<p>Extra Curriculars:
Varsity Tennis all 4 years
President of 1 club, active member in another
My club gives community service hours for helping others (we tutor those who need help) so I'm getting volunteer hours for that
I write articles relating to biology and publish them on the National High School Journal of Science
I teach tennis to seniors in my area as well as tutor people in math</p>
<p>Programs/Internships:
Did a Columbia University Summer program for bio and got decent rec letters from professors there
Will do an internship my junior year summer as well to study neurology in depth</p>
<p>Recommendation/College essays:
Should get a strong rec from my chem ap teacher and a decent rec from my english 11 H teacher
Also 1 decent rec from my counselor
Planning to start early with college essays and get it looked at by multiple people</p>
<p>Nationality: Asian Indian</p>
<p>Note: I go to highly competitive public high school where high grades/SAT scores are normal</p>
<p>I heard Johns Hopkins has a 38% ED rate for undergrad admission so I should have a high chance right? My grades aren't great but I thing I make up with the difficulty of my course load. What do you guys think are my chances?</p>
