Chances at Johns Hopkins

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey everyone!! I was thinking about applying to Johns Hopkins University for engineering and have to decide very soon because the application deadline is January 1st!! Here are my stats:</p>

<p>Ethnicity: Asian (Indian) male residing in Belgium</p>

<p>SAT math: 740 CR: 590 writing: 720
subject tests Math II: 730 Chem: 750 physics: 690</p>

<p>GPA: 3.59 out of 4 (unweighted) and 4.58 out of 5 (weighted)</p>

<p>Class rank: top 4%</p>

<p>Courses and predictions: (7 is highest grade achievable)
IB math Higher level - 7
IB physics Higher level - 6
IB chemistry Higher level - 7
IB english A1 Standard level - 6
IB economics Standard level - 7
IB spanish ab initio - 6
TOK/EE - 2 </p>

<p>IB total: 41 out of 45 points</p>

<p>Course rigor: I'm taking the hardest subjects offered at our school. French would have been harder than Spanish, but I'm not fluent in French, so I had to opt for Spanish. Also, I'm doing the higher level course for Economics, but will be taking the Standard level examinations this May.</p>

<p>extra-curriculars: research project at hospital (not paid for), helped with electrical wiring at a construction site for a week, 5-6 ecology projects on Belgian farms, delivering mail, high-school choir, peer tutoring, school softball team, cricket team for Indian school and for a local club in Belgium, yearbook, sang at gala dinner organized to raise funds for Pakistan flood relief. </p>

<p>co-curriculars: Represented my school in 13th ISMTF senior math competition in Berlin, 2010. Got the highest score for my school. </p>

<p>Awards: Mathematics award grade 11 for outstanding achievement in mathematics (that's what the certificate says lol)
Honor roll 1st and 2nd semester of grade 11</p>

<p>I have good letters of recommendation.</p>

<p>Please chance me!</p>
