Chances of acceptance to JHU

<p>Hey, I'm planning on applying to JHU and I was hoping that you guys could give me an idea of what my chances are. I have boston residency but live in Greece (which is where i'm from). I'm planning on applying for Bio and am interested in medicine. Here are my statistics:</p>

<p>SAT's: 2170 (700 CR, 720 M, 750 W) might retake in october. Haven't taken any subject tests yet but am planning to take the BIO E/M and Chemistry subject tests in the fall.</p>

<p>UW GPA is 3.6something and W is around 4.2 I've been taking challenging courses throughout high school, including the IB Diploma Program in my Junior year and now upcoming senior year, along with a total of around 8 or 9 Honors classes throughout my freshman and sophomore years (the greatest number of H courses available at my school for those years).
My school is a very competitive International school in Athens, Greece but it doesn't report class ranking due to the small number of students in each grade (between 70-90) i believe my grade has 87.</p>

<p>My EC's are okay:
-4 years of soccer (2 years at varsity level). our team competes in the ISST tournament, a tournament between various international schools in europe
-Debate team
-4 Years of playing the Guitar
-Treasurer of Student Council
Planning on joining MUN (model united nations) in senior year</p>

<p>Volunteer Work:
-worked in Neurosurgery department at a greek private hospital (about 100 hours)
-volunteer work at archipelagos (a organization researching and preserving marine and terrestrial life in greece) (around 80-90 hours)
-Started an english learning program at a greek day care (hoping to spread this program to other day cares)
-work with the Make a Wish foundation
-tree planting</p>

<p>Any responses would really be appreciated.</p>

<p>You have an ok shot. Certainly not guaranteed to get in, but you stand a reasonable chance.</p>

<p>thanks for your reply</p>

<p>I don’t think you need to retake the SATs. I ditto what babybananas said. I’ll give you a 50% chance. Best of luck!</p>

<p>yeah i might not retake the SAT 1 since the score is pretty good, but i will if i have some time to prepare because i feel i can improve it quite a bit.</p>

<p>I think you have a great chance! I wouldn’t even bother retaking the SATs to get your score a little higher! Just write an amazing essay and make sure the letters you get are awesome! Best of luck!</p>

<p>thank you! i’m only gonna retake the sat if i have time to</p>
