<p>just a heads up.... you can't have a 4.1 UW GPA. in an unweighted system, A's and A+'s are both 4.0 pts.</p>

<p>the engineering school @ JHU gets a lot of applications I think... and they only bring in something like 400 students a year from the entire planet. it's tough. Your testing is great but will not stand out at the JHU pool. </p>

<p>going ED?</p>

<p>any research or regional awards? publications?</p>

<p>Oh, I didn't know that about the UW GPA, thanks.</p>

<p>"going ED?" nope
"any research or regional awards? publications?" nope</p>

<p>Do you think I won't get in because I don't have these things?</p>

<p>You look like a very solid candidate. You have great stats and are well rounded. You will fit in nicely at JHU. I would like to see you apply Early Decision. Please reconsider.</p>
