Chances for JHU (low gpa/potentially high SAT)

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi I am a part of the graduating class of 2012! I haven't really been on CC that much so I don't exactely know how to post but I was wondering about my chances for JHU.</p>

<p>I switched schools from a public high school to school that requires SAT to get in and is combined with a university. I had a hard time adjusting and faced some personal problems as well. </p>

<p>I really wanted to apply for BME but I feel that all my chances are gone. Is there any hope?</p>

<p>I made a 4.0 until my junior year (when I transferred) and both my semesters my junior year have been 3.26.</p>

<p>The classes at my current high school are very rigorous (more than ap and ib) and my high school does not rank. I was used to being at the top of my class and then when I moved to this school I sunk quite a bit compared to my peers. </p>

<p>I have really good ECs (leadership positions) and research experience as well as a TON of community service. </p>

<p>My SAT goal is (superscored) about a 2300. My highest in math has been an 800 and writing is a 730 but my critical reading is only a 630, which I hope to increase on my next and final SAT.</p>

<p>I have taken 5 SAT Subject Tests (2 scores are yet to come).
Math II: 780
World History: 700
Spanish: 660 </p>

<p>I've taken a total of 8 aps (6 this year and 2 last year). My school does not follow an AP curriculum so I self studied the APs and took them at another high school. </p>

<p>What can I do to increase my chances (or are they completely eliminated)?
Should I apply ED and explain my situation or RD?
Should I even apply for BME?</p>

<p>Oh all the questions I have.
Thanks for everything you guys!</p>

<p>That SAT score puts you above JHU’s median which is helpful. Try to get your verbal score up to 700 if possible. Have you visited and interviewed? JHU is one of the places that may give this a little weight. Also, I’ve heard and I believe that it’s slightly easier to get in early. Definitely apply ED. You can apply EA somewhere else as well.</p>
