<p>Your SAT score and GPA are not high enough for hopkins. You dont have enough AP’s either. Especially for computer science. (CompSciEng is not a major at hopkins… Its either Comp Sci or Comp Eng)</p>

<p>^don’t worry about the ACT/SAT scores…you can still get in with that lol
Focus on being well-rounded. Extracurriculars mean more than you think. And they want to see dedication to a few things rather than a bunch of different ones that you only participated in for a year or two.
Definitely need to be taking one of the hardest routes possible that your school offers.
If your school doesn’t offer AP’s…then that’s not going to hurt you because you can’t help that! haha You should definitely have taken at least half of them offered, nonetheless.
Don’t dwell on scores…they are what they are! lol</p>

<p>Thanks! Because most people that apply to Johns Hopkins are probably students that want to eventually, I think that majoring in computer science is an advantage because that department is not as big. My senior classes are AP Stat, AP Calc, AP Gov, College writing. My junior classes were honors physics and honors pre calc. With Ap stat, I am actually in regular stat but I want to take the ap test at the end of the year. My school doesn’t have ap stat, so I told my teacher that I want to take the AP test. I meet with her a few times a week. I think this also increases my chances because not a lot of people do this. Do you really think that I have a good chance??</p>
