Hi peeps, I am considering applying early decision for JHU as the title suggested, following the premed route.
Also considering ED to Columbia. I want to know what is my chance of getting in.
My Stats:
Attend the best public high school in state, very competitive, top 10% of our class end up going to Harvard and other ivy league schools
GPP (rising senior): at least 4.3-4.4 (weighted); 3.9/4.0 (unweighted)
SAT I:1510+
SAT II: US History (780), Bio (720), (Math II 740)
AP Courses: I took every science courses I could possibly take
8 APs in total which is the maximum number my school allows
I got all 5 on the AP exams except for a 4 on AP Chem (srsly, my teacher sucked)
Extracurriculars:
Science Olympiad (11-12): 4th in state
Marine Biology Club (11-12)
Digital Art Club (11-12)
HS Band (9-12) no particular achievement tho
Recycling and other volunteering clubs (9-12); over 200 hrs of volunteering experience over summer and during school year
Work: Interned at Tufts Medical School Community Health Improvement Program
National Honor Society, Book Award from a random college
Essays: they prob suck as you could tell from my screwed up grammar already; let’s assume they are 8/10 essays
my teachers could prob give decent recommendations tho; my guidance counselor is neutral
Interview: I will prob jack this up if I request one (should I YOLO and do it?)
Hooks:
Chinese (sigh Asian male) immigrant
first generation to attend college
Should I consider ED to anther school, if so, what are the best fits? Thanks, senpais.
Remember, even if you get rejected, don’t forget the memes.
