<p>I'm thinking of majoring for something related to science
& i had a C in biology in freshman year</p>

<p>i think my GPA's too low; i'm not even sure if i'm in the top 25% in our school.
would my EC's cover my gpa a bit? :(</p>

<p>Your GPA does not sink you. My son's was only a little higher. Your SATs and ECs are in range and Daniel will tell you they look at the "whole student" and not some cut-off.</p>

<p>wow... ur gpa is too low.ur gpa is gonna hurt you in the butt! </p>

<p>try to raise it. make up the classes at some CC or something.</p>

<p>but its all good. i've found that JHU isn't too competitive like the HYPS.</p>

<p>Because i messed my freshman year, my cumm. gpa is 3.75 right now.
my stats are bit lower than yours actually. (sat:2270)
i was thinking of covering up my stats with ec's and IB classes.
(5 IBs+3 honors this year and 7 IBs+1 honors next year.)
i think you have a good chance at JHU.</p>

<p>..don't worry about it too much. you'll do fine.
(I'm Korean too. MUHAHA)</p>
