<p>What do you guys think my chances at Notre Dame and Johns Hopkins are?</p>
<p>Both my teachers and my parents believed that my essays were very personable and well-written</p>
<p>Notre Dame- i included my attraction to a catholic based institution and the overall mystique and tradition that comes with going to Notre Dame (my dream school)
Hopkins- included my passion for science through the allusions of my past experiences at medical offices and hospitals and the valuable information I gained from these experiences</p>
<p>If you could tell my chances at each school, that'd be great. Thanks!</p>
<p>P.S.- Is it right to say that my safety school is Villanova? I'm almost a lock there right??</p>
<p>really? Math- 700, Critical Reading-670, Writing-680....I didn't think that was the highest that they have seen, but I never thought that that would be a huge liability for me</p>
<p>I think you have a decent chance at Notre Dame (although it will be tough), but Hopkins will be a reach. The SAT is a tad low and nothing really big stands out.. (awards?). I daresay Villanova is a 'safety' as your score is right in the middle (1340-1430), maybe even a little less than 50th percentile. Best of luck.</p>
<p>Gold medal for National Latin Exam for Four Straight Years (only one of two people in school who take Latin to receive it); National Honor Roll: Who's Who Among High School Students; National Honor Society and Senior Leaders; Varsity Letter Winner for 4 years for tennis and 2 years for golf....</p>
<p>and I never thought Villanova's SAT's were that high of a range? Where are you getting that information? And does it matter if it's regular decision in opposed to early decision?</p>
<p>villanova is pretty safe, their SAT 75th percintile is 1380 according to USNEWS and CB, JHU is a large reach, I doubt you would get in b/c you don'te really standout unless your essays are really good or something. Same with UND in my opinion</p>
