<p>I think you definitely have the potential for admission to JHU. Looking at your stats, you look like a really well rounded candidate with some really strong extra-curriculars. Your application also gives the impression that you have pursued your own personal interests. </p>

<p>One thing that struck me as negative about these activities though is that you don't have many leadership roles, so you might want to suggest how you participated in these different organizations to show that you do in fact have leadership potential. </p>

<p>As for your SAT score, right now you are at an extreme disadvantage with "average" scores in Critical Reading and a strong, but not amazing Writing score. If you can improve these scores (writing into the 700's and Critical Reading at/around 630-650) I think you do stand a good chance. One thing that I would stress to you though is the importance of you informing them of your unique program choices, which might give you an edge. Also, your essay is going to have to be pretty outstanding. </p>

<p>With a few minor improvements, you could be JHU's ideal candidate. So yes, I think this is the perfect range of school for you to be applying to ED. Good luck!</p>

<p>thank you so much for replying. yes im really hoping to get 700+ on writing and at least 600+ on reading. JHU supplement essay requires me to write about why i chose neuroscience and planetary science anyway, so i could explain about that there. other than that, i think i did the best i could.. im just hoping for the best</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>They don’t count writing? that’s weird, because on collegeboard.com their writing scores are listed.</p>
