<p>I would think your chances are probably pretty good as long as your essays are solid. Your stats are pretty strong, make sure you present yourself well.</p>

3

<p>id be surprised if you dont get in</p>

<p>I'm sorry that you are the one that I'm replying to --- I've seen many posts similar to yours, but arbitrarily decided to reply to this one. It irks me quite a bit when someone with near perfect SAT, who actually gives an excuse of not being prepared for a 750 (!), as if that is a bad score. Then the person asks, as if he doesn't know the answer, "What are my chances?" As if the 1600, 4.0, 5's on almost every AP, and EC's up the gazoo don't give it away. </p>

<p>No, you obviously have absolutely no chance of getting accepted.</p>

<p>I'm sorry, but I really had to vent over this issue.</p>

5

<p>Dude, why did you even bother posting. your stats are insane (that is of course if they are legit).</p>

6

<p>Oh wow he gets a 750 and makes a joke about it.. sigh.. </p>

<p>Secondly soccer is not a course man .. its a sport......</p>

<p>Btw i think you have a good chance ( no sarcasm intended for this sentence)</p>

7

<p>believe it or not soccer is an official course at our school</p>

8

<p>What do you compete in in Forensics? I'm an extemper myself.</p>

9

<p>soccer as a course? wow wheres your high school, i want to go there! And btw how come you have 20 classes or somethign this year ?</p>

10

<p>probably a 24-7 school.....non-stop learning?</p>

11

<p>not taking anything away from you but all those ap tests seem to me to be pretty pointless and certianly overkill.
early graduation .. 20 courses..etc
you are definitely a great student but i must ask this..s</p>

<p>DO YOU HAVE A LIFE?</p>

<p>i'm just some stupid idiot that you should ignore. no pun or ill intention </p>

<p>for what it is worth
I think you'll get in JHU.</p>

12

<p>we have different courses for different semesters
i listed courses for both semesters</p>

13

<p>yeah, that's annoying -_-. you're making the rest of us feel bad with your sickeningly good stats. there's NO way you could've thought you wouldn't get in.</p>
