Hi, I’m applying to John’s Hopkins Early Decision
Intended major: biology (premed)
Im an asian female
sat old: 2100
reading 630; writing 700; math 770
sat new: 1450
sat 2: chemistry (770) biology M (790) Math 2 (740)
gpa: 4.5303 its out of a 4.0 scale but it’s weighted so its possible to get over a 4. (for a better reference, the valedictorian usually has a 4.9 or so)
my school doesn’t rank but I know that I am in the top 5%
I took all honors freshman year, all honors and 1 ap sophomore year, all honors 3 aps junior year , and 5 aps 1 honor senior year.
(4 years of math, 4 years of english, 4 years of foreign language, 4 years of history, 5 years of science (6 years if you count a genetics)
My recommendations are good and my transcript is good, I only have one b from sophomore year (the rest range from a- to a+)
However my essays are the problem. I’m not a really good writer so my common ap essay is fine, but my supp is not so great(I found an grammar error- I wrote the same word twice in a row, after I submitted).
Extracurriculars: marching band (9-12); Lacrosse (9-12); UNICEF (9-12, president 11-12); Manager at where I work (11-12); Eco friendly club (11-12); National Honors Society (11-12); Italian National Honors Society (11-12, treasurer); 100+ volunteer hours at local hospital.
