<p>Hi everyone! I'm currently a junior and Hopkins is my first choice so far. I plan on visiting in the spring, and I'm really excited. I know its suppeerr competitive so if you guys could give me a realistic idea of how I stack up, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!</p>

<p>-I go to a Newsweek Public Elite High School (think Stuy, but I go to one in Illinois)
-No rankings and no GPA weighting but I have a 3.88 GPA
-I'm taking the SAT in Jan, and am pretty sure it will be around ~2200
-Math II 760, will be taking Bio E and Literature in summer</p>

<p>EC's
-Research Assistant at Landscape and Human Health Lab at UIUC
-Entrepreneurial Leadership in STEM Teaching and Learning (basically we volunteer our time to teach science concepts to kids at local elementary schools)
-Inexpensive Chic (Fashion Blog)—Contributing Writer
-SSAT Tutoring Program--Leader (this is a volunteer program run by me and three others, where we offer free SSAT tutoring to underrepresented minority kids; the SSAT is an admissions test used by our high school)
-“Cattle Bank” Restoration Team (I was a part of the team that worked to redesign and reopen our local historical museum, the Cattle Bank)
-Carle Foundation Hospital Teen Summer Volunteer
-Unique (school literary magazine) Team
-Habitat for Humanity Club Member<br>
-Ballet (though I just started this year >.<, I plan on continuing through college, it's something I've always wanted to do as a little girl)</p>

<p>Awards
-I haven't taken the PSAT yet since its not time yet, but I will probably at least be commended
-Gold Level on National Spanish Exam ('11), and Silver Level on National Spanish Exam ('12)
-Does NaNoWriMo count (lolll?)
-Iris Chang-Peter Kolodziej School Wide Fiction Writing Award
-Fingers crossed that I'll be a Illinois state scholar (>.<)
-One of my poems was published in this anthology, I'll have to look it up because I completely forgot about it</p>

<p>I plan on getting a summer job and a public health internship this year, and will probably have more things to add in the future, but do I have a chance at all at JHU? I really want to go there :(</p>

<p>You can’t expect to gain anything useful from these chance threads, especially for top schools like JHU where admissions are so tight; nobody can really predict what’s going to happen. Your stats and scores seem pretty good if not outstanding (for a school like JHU that is) and you have some nice extracurriculars, but that you probably already know that. You want to go to Hopkins, so apply. Nobody can tell you whether you’re in or not except for the admissions committee.</p>
