Desperate about my SAT score

Colleges and Universities A-Z Johns Hopkins University

<p>It's my first time to post a new thread and I'm not sure about the format.</p>

<p>I'm a Chinese student, currently studying in Australia. I didn't know about SAT until last year and I started to prepare for it at the start of this year. I'm particularly interested in John Hopkins but I'm REALLY desperate about my SAT scores. </p>

<p>My June SAT scores are:
CR: 520 55%
M: 780 99%
W: 630 85% (Essay: 8)</p>

<p>I know that my reading is too low to apply for John Hopkins. But I really can't find time to study for SAT since I'm a senior now and I'm doing International Baccaulaurate (IB), with four subjects at higher level. I've been ranking No. 1 of my school (with a size of around 320). </p>

<p>I'm wondering whether John Hopkin will have a different standard of requirements for international students whose English is not their first language. (Clearly, my CR is still too LOW!!) I'll take TOEFL in August. </p>

<p>And which standardised test result will John Hopkins considers most, TOEFL or SAT? </p>

<p>PLEASE tell me whether there is a bottom line for SAT results for applicants to John Hopkins. I've been sick all the day today, worrying about my SAT results. ~~</p>

<p>BTW...I really admire those who have got summer vacations to study for SAT. I'm in the southern hemisphere and will have summer vacation in DECEMBER>>>>>></p>

<p>I don't think they will hold you to the same standards as a native English-speaking student on the CR section since you will be sending them your TOEFL score as well. I would say you should still have a good chance at schools in the US.</p>

<p>It's Johns Hopkins. Remember the "S".</p>

<p>Pay more attention towards your SATs/TOEFL than your IB scores.</p>

<p>Your IB scores won't affect your college admissions decision if you choose a school in the US. The only thing that they will do is give you credit (assuming you get a high enough score).</p>

<p>The dilemma is that I'll use IB results to apply for universities in Australia. I can't totally give up IB.</p>

<p>Thanks for the suggestion though.</p>
