<p>Looks great. Obviously lots of commitment to your ECs which is actually better then simple breadth. You’ve got sports, leadership, service, and even academics. </p>

<p>Your stats are pretty impressive though you might want to pull up your SATs if you want to feel a bit more comfortable. After all, next year I have a feeling acceptance rates might fall below the 19% for this year. Do well your senior year to pull up your GPA which seems to be the weakest part. I’m guessing your school doesn’t rank since you didn’t show it.</p>

<p>Also get good reccs, maybe from your math teacher and really try to shine in your essays. JHU has a great physics program and I read that a professor received a MacArthur ‘genius’ grant a few years ago.</p>

<p>Early Decision will help you, your grades could use a boost… work hard to get a 3.85+. Good luck!</p>
