<p>You'll be competitive because at least your numbers will put you in range (middle 50%) but no guarantees of course. Where are you from and what are you interested in studying?</p>

<p>i am interested in pre-med and music, although it seems so typical of an asian candidate. How can i present myself differently and uniquely(?) to the admissions?</p>

<p>Just for your information, Hopkins does not have a music major, but does have a minor at the Homewood campus. Much of the faculty comes from Peabody Conservatory, which is part of Hopkins. Perhaps you should look into these: <a href="http://www.peabody.jhu.edu/172%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.peabody.jhu.edu/172&lt;/a> which are opportunities at Peabody for Hopkins undergrad, including double degrees, dual enrollment etc.</p>
