<p>if its RD, im not sure id be quite as confident as the last poster, but definately if your essays and recs etc are really strong, u have a very good shot</p>
<p>I had similar grades, scores, and amount of EC's, and I got in ED. The admissions office will read thousands of applications similar to yours.
You need to make yours standout. Write an interesting nonformulaic essay, include as much extra stuff in your application as you can. You started your own online role playing game? then give them a url and data on how many people play it. They get lots of applicants with better scores than you, so you need to show them stuff besides numbers which set you above everyone else. If an admissions officer needs to choose 1 applicant out of a stack of 200 to be accepted, she'll likely choose "the internet game kid" applicant over ones she doesn't remember anything about. Bla Bla you've heard this all before I'm sure but its all true.</p>
<p>u have a shot...
BUT... if u REALLY want to go to hopkins... ur gonna have to improve a few things... esp if u apply RD</p>
<p>first - BE UNIQUE!!!!!!!!
second - wat ethnicity r u?... trust me it matters.
if u r white.. u r fine
if u r asian [indian, chinese, korean, oriental]... then u will have problems... admissions into jhu as an asian is VERY difficult... ESPECIALLY if u apply as a science major... cuz there r soooooo many ...
so ur major/ ethnicity will help/hurt you
if u r an underrepresented minority... u will probably get in with those stats [not to sound ignorant... but the facts dont lie]</p>
<p>remember BE UNIQQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE... dont be like every other kid... be different... do sumthin special outside of skool... like.. if u like medicine [which i get the impression u do]... train to become an EMT [its intense... trust me... but it makes u different and shows motivation]</p>
<p>like there so many things u can do... just dont be like everyone else... the easiest way to stand out... is the $10 essay... dont try to be creative for the hell of being creative.. but be different... not necessarily crazy... just not the norm... i cant explain it to u... because every great essay is sumthing truly unique to that person...</p>
