Do I have a chance at JHU with these scores?

<p>Solely based on scores...</p>

<p>GPA:96/100
SAT I: M630 CR710 W720 Total: 2060
SATII: MathII-740 Physics-650
AP English Language: 5</p>

<p>My extracurriculars, essays, recs and everything else are perfectly on par, its just the scores I'm worried about. Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>will chance back by the way! just post link in response.</p>

<p>Are you applying ED? If so, you have a good chance. Even moreso if you are full pay. JHU is need-blind technically, but always looks for a few more full pays to balance the budget.</p>

<p>This assumes you are not applying for bio-med or other competitive major.</p>

<p>Yes I am applying ED, sorry I forgot to mention. And unfortunately no, my family can only pay at most 20,000. Thanks for the input!</p>

6

<p>I am also applying to a less popular major that I am very passionate about which comes through in my app; Earth and Planetary Science. Not sure if this helps or not.</p>

<p>It helps :).</p>

<p>sat is a bit weak for hopkins. I’d call it a low reach to reach, still.</p>

<p>Thanks! I’m wondering though if the 740 on math 2 makes up in any way for my sat I math score?</p>

<p>one last bump</p>

<p>It doesn’t really make up for it, but it could help. Reach or Low Reach.</p>

14

<p>740 on math II is technically worse than a 640 on Math I because of the fact that the math II median of ~660 and a standard deviation of ~120 while Math I has a standard deviation of 100 and a median of 500. Which means your z score for Math I is greater than your z score for math II.</p>

<p>I know someone with about your same stats (at least scorewise) who got into JHU ed. And he was doing public health administration as his major, or something along the lines of that.</p>

<p>So I’d say you have a good chance considering your major.</p>

15

<p>It helps a little. ED really helps a lot. My D was accepted last year RD with a 31 ACT, 760 Math 2, 680 Lit, 3.92/4.4 gpa with 12 AP’s from a competitive public HS. But she was a legacy and had crazy good EC’s and prospective Psych major. And she applied as full pay.</p>

16

<p>I don’t really understand how a 740 on the math 2 is that bad. I thought anything above 700 is considered a good score. I understand the whole thing about the curve, but then they might as well would have changed the scoring all together if they didn’t think 740 was a respectable score, no?</p>

17

<p>As already mentioned, 740 isn’t a great score on the Math 2. It’s only 65th percentile.

<p>I’ll give it a low reach. I think that your major helps out a little. I don’t think your SAT scores hurt you, but they aren’t helping you a whole lot. I think if you have solid enough essays it is a solid low reach. All the best! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1567485-chance-me-duke-ed.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1567485-chance-me-duke-ed.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Thanks! Would sending my physics score help or hurt? JHU recommends at least 3 subject tests but they aren’t required. Would it look better to send the physics or not?</p>

<p>The standardized testing seems to be a little below par for hopkins, but given that your gpa is great and you seem to think everything else is in range, I’d probably say a low reach. applying ed also helps. Good luck!</p>
