Do I even have a prayer?

<p>I am 23 and in the Navy wanting to get out and go to Hopkins. When i went to High School had an awful GPA of 2.5. I had a lot of extra-curriculars including Eagle Scout and 5 religious emblems. I am an E7 currently but want to go to my dream school in Hopkins. Do i have any chance?</p>

<p>Probably not, unless you work your buns off at a CC for a couple of years to show them that you can get better grades than that. I know someone with a 3.8-ish GPA, a 32 on the ACT, all honors and AP classes, and a bunch of extracurriculars who got flat-out rejected (as opposed to deferred or accepted) ED.</p>
