<p>your ACT is pretty low :P</p>

3

<p>is it really that low??
Also, Im doin Early Decision</p>

4

<p>Yes, it’s pretty low.</p>

5

<p>just apply with the ‘right expectation’, ED or regular decision
if you read the decision thread under JHU for this year’s class, you’ll get an idea of the stats of students who got in or not.
ACT 29 is a little “light”
but readers here don’t know how rigorous your HS courses are so all I can say is
so GOOD LUCK!</p>

6

<p>try to get that act to 31. THen you are pretty much sure in</p>

7

<p>will 750+ in math2, bio and chem compensate for ACT 29??</p>

8

<p>ANYONE else???</p>

<p>Everything looks good, but you need to raise that ACT. Seriously. You have enough time, so I’m not sure why you’re hesitating. Enroll for the June ACT and maybe the Sept. one. </p>

<p>Have you tried the SAT?</p>

11

<p>I applied this year and did not get in.</p>

<p>SAT 2130
SAT II (Eng., Math 2, Span.) 760, 680, 600 respectively
GPA: 97.2 out of 100 percent, or 4.0
3 AP, 5 Honors</p>

<p>I won’t go into music, community activism and my resume, but even with them I did not get accepted. Good luck with your application though!</p>

12

<p>i got waitlisted with
SAT 2200 SAT II 800/790/760/740
GPA 3.98 8 Aps (5)
Siemens and Intel Semfinalist</p>

<p>I recommend you getting it up to 33 :stuck_out_tongue: tbh. but definitely try to raise it to AT LEAST 31</p>

13

<p>I got in with a 3.55 UW 2240 SAT 800Math 800 Physics
11 APs</p>

<p>Wrestling recruit and legacy. aahhahah. No chance with a 29.</p>

14

<p>dnt i fall in the 25 percentile thoughh? lol
how come they only show the score for the composite, Math and English??
I got 29 in English and 34 in Math.
is there a certain reason why they only show those three scores and not reading andscience?</p>

15

<p>The problem with summer lab research, though, is that now everyone and their mothers are doing it. And they typically don’t care too much about WHO you worked with, but rather WHAT you did…</p>

16

<p>dude, dont worry, your extremely well rounded. I know somebody that got accepted to Johns Hopkins with a 28 on the ACT. yes, a 28. But, if u do get that score up, you’ll get in, most definitely. You look like the perfect candidate.</p>

<p>dont listen to lolk1lol, remote, or azndarkvader.</p>
