Do I have a chance of Ivy League?

Hello, I am currently enrolled in a community college and have to transfer by the end of this year. Currently looking to transfer for biochem, chem, or biology. I have pretty good grades and want to know if I am being realistic with my current choices. My #1 pick is Johns Hopkins University, however I’m shooting as high as Harvard because the worst thing they can say is no. Other picks include Cornell, George Washington University, (back ups are Rowan and Rutgers New Brunswick). To know if this is realistic however I have to show the facts.

The facts:

Current GPA- 3.837

Major- Biomedical science

ECs-
Club Coordinator for Student Government
Rewrites club (writing club)
Medical Novices club

Miscellaneous-
Two summer courses this summer (Anatomy & Physiology 1 and Chem 2)
Same part time job for 2 years
People’s choice award
Submitted paper to get published (find out in September, written on the environment)
Shadowing doctors

Extra tidbit, my end goal is to go to medical school.

Unfortunately, at JHU and the ivies, biomed is an incredibly competitive field. You appear to be qualified but for anyone in your position it will be like a lottery!

So your saying I have a chance but whoever gets in just happens to be lucky that day because everyone at that level is completely qualified?

Yeah. So many qualified people are applying. The admissions counselors can reject those who aren’t on the right level but they are still left with more talented individuals than they have spots available. :frowning: Don’t give up though. I really like your attitude of shooting high.

You probably have a decent shot at med school long-term. I wouldn’t waste fees on HYP. You don’t show what any of your standardized test results are from high school. You also don’t mention your high school record. Straight A’s at a CC will probably not get you into Hopkins or similar level schools without high test scores. The competition at CCs is not that great, so your grades don’t make you Harvard or whatever material. Top 30 or so schools generally are expecting almost all AP classes in high school, with close to straight A’s and high AP exam and SAT II scores. You should be able to get into somewhere better than Rutgers though.
