<p>I think the biggest weakness in your app is the lack of unique ECs. Music, tennis, math, NHS, library, are all pretty generic.</p>

<p>ok thank you</p>

<p>Is it worth telling these schools this information that i did not do/put on my application by the date sent
-3rd place conference champ for math team (1st place female)
-Section leader in musical
-Part of district advisory council (gives info to the school board for one of the largest school districts in MN)</p>

<p>bumpppppppppp</p>

<p>may i ask how you have a 4.0 gpa uw and a 4.08 weighted, especially with those ap courses?</p>

<p>sectional leader is nice</p>

8

<p>Way too much like a grocery list… Too typical like thousands of standard Ivy applicants (many of whom get rejected). Not enough achievement, AP tests are mostly on the low side, same for other tests.</p>

<p>I’m really having a hard time seeing you in any of those 5.</p>

<p>I don’t think Hopkins is a match. I had a 34 ACT, 1 ap in my soph year, 7 APs/IBs my junior, and 6 this year (with a 3.87 unweighted and rank 7 of 572) as well as numerous EC’s (that includes sports, state competitions in CA, community service, summer programs, and any other things) and I got deferred from ED. Problem is…there wasn’t anything really unique.</p>

<p>anonmity, clearly a part of ur application was had problems if u got deferred ED with those stats, although John Hopkins in competitive, most of their students are smart but not rly special (unlike high, mid ivies), did u request too much aid??? are you international applicant??? something must be wrong…</p>

<p>also, u dont have to be unique to get into JHU</p>

11

<p>Okay, first off, your grades/class rank are really good. Your ACT’s are strong, but I think you might want them a little higher for some of these schools, especially UPenn. Your EC’s are good, but considering how competitive Dartmouth and UPenn are, I’m not sure they’ll cut it. I advise you to retake the ACT, I think just a few extra points could make a big difference. </p>

<p>Chance me please for:
Johns Hopkins - high match/low reach
University of Pennsylvania - high reach
Duke - high match
Rice - high match
Dartmouth - reach</p>

<p>Would you mind?

<p>OK, so here is what happened, you can see my stats and where I ended up and how good the chances were</p>

<p>Accepted- University of Minnesota TC, Dartmouth
Waitlisted- Johns Hopkins, Rice
Rejected- Duke, University of Pennsylvania, </p>

<p>Attending Dartmouth unless I get into Johns Hopkins off of the Waitlist because it is a better fit</p>
