<p>I WILL CHANCE BACK ASAP.</p>

<p>Chances are weak but your essays and recommendations could put you in

<p>bump…</p>

<p>Your academics are a little low, but your extracurriculars look very good! Since you are doing ED, if you write great essays and get some good recs, of say you have a good shot but its a low reach-reach. Good luck!</p>

<p>Chance me back?</p>

<p>sure, ur link please.</p>

<p>Of course</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>Your GPA looks decent and your extracurriculars match well with the kind of school that JHU is. The only weakness I would point at is your test scores, considering they are slightly lower than many applicants applying to JHU and you aren’t showing any SAT scores. I would say because you applied early you have a better chance but there are not guarentees! Good luck please chance back??</p>

<p>Your ECs and recommendations seem great, and if your essay is convincing enough, you’ll get accepted. Just remember that you’re up against people who have 4.0 UW GPAs and ACT scores close to 36, so that’s why every other part of your application has to impress the admission officers.</p>

<p>Good luck :slight_smile: and thanks for chancing me!</p>

<p>I think you’ve got a great chance. That one AP MacroEcon grade is rough but the rest of your AP grades are stellar! Your ACT is right in their range and it’s good that you’re all AP (taking the hardest courses available). The fact that you founded a chapter of the NATIONAL science honor society and have volunteered 300+ hours to hospital programs is sure to put you in good graces with the medical-minded of the admissions staff. Additionally, your work in labs seems to be top-notch.<br>
I’m not sure if JHU is very grades-based or more holistic, but I’d say you have a pretty good chance if they’re grades-based and an even better chance if they’re holistic–especially if your recommendations and essay are also really good. The ED pool for most top schools tends to be tougher (grades-wise) than the regular pool, but your extra-curriculars should put you in (and if they don’t for some reason, I imagine you’ll be wait-listed rather than denied). </p>

<p>I wish you all the best luck! Thanks for chancing me : )</p>

<p>Your chances are very good. You are like me in some ways, in that the academics are outweighed by the ECs. Honestly, you should be fine.</p>

<p>Help me out:

<p>I think u are highly possible to get in unless u wanna apply for BME, which is extremely hard. I knew a brilliant guy with a patent got into JHU without being accepted in BME. Ur APs and ECs are outstanding but the test scores are comparatively weak. However, since JHU emphasizes researches, ur ECs will certainly work. </p>

<p>Thanks for chancing me.</p>

<p>PS: I am going to apply JHU in RD</p>

<p>Bearing in mind that JHU has a fairly high ED rate, even though academics aren’t the strongest they wouldn’t disqualify you. On the other hand, ECs are fairly solid. I would be pretty hopeful on decisions day.</p>

<p>bump…ill chance back immediately.</p>
