<p>Rising Junior, so chances if i improve a lot this year
Took 3 AP classes last year: CS 4, Bio 4, WHAP 5, GPA fell last year since I wasn't focused due to personal problems, will do better on AP exams this year and increase GPA
I am going to take 4 AP classes this year: BC, Physics1/2, USH, Stats
I am currently conducting research at Stony Brook University, will hopefully compete in Siemens and next year Intel
On a two practice SAT exams I have scored 1770, and then 2140 (taken 1 month apart, put in big work between them and still am to hopefully improve to ~2300)
2140: 800 math, 690 writing, 650 reading (Again reading and writing will improve)
I have a 98.9 unweighted GPA and most likely top 5 in class
SAT II: Chem 790, Bio 750, World 720 (Will not submit World)
ECs: Varsity Tennis, Science Bowl, Mathletes, Hospital Volunteer, Academic Club, Part of two leadership clubs, Peer Tutoring for 2-4 hours a week for free, Volunteer at mosque (tutoring, cleaning up, etc...), research</p>
<p>I currently have an undergraduate friend at JHU doing BME, and I believe her academics were more or less the same. She may have had a higher GPA, but I think you are taking more AP Classes. If you can get higher SAT I scores that would be fantastic, she had a 2360 (Although this probably will not be the most critical part). </p>
<p>I heavily suggest taking a Math SAT II. I toured UVA and Duke and both schools required a Math II if you were applying for an engineering major, which I am sure applys to JHU as well.</p>
<p>Since you are a rising junior, it seems like you have plenty of time to get your SATs up as well as your GPA.</p>
<p>The research at Stony Brook is pretty cool! Glad to see another high school researcher out there. I interned at a lab in Yale this summer, and then managed to convince them to let me have my own project for my senior year. I will be looking at Siemens and Intel as well, hope to see you there!</p>
<p>As a side note, I think you should look at Duke University. Duke is also incredibly strong in BME, Im pretty sure it is top 5 in the country. I sent an email to a professor there before I toured and asked to interview, and we ended up talking for an hour about cancer. He told me that there are many research opportunities, and also that you can start from day one if I recall correctly. He told me that Dukes Admissions really like kids with a focus, and you seem to be that type. UC-San Diego has a really strong BME Undergrad program too. The grad student I worked with went there for undergrad and suggested it to me. I gotta say the campus looks beautiful.</p>
<p>Best of luck to your junior year and your research</p>
