Hello!

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am a minority female looking to apply to Johns Hopkins University or Georgetown University as my "high reach" colleges. Please tell me which college would best suit me based on my grades, scores, and ECs. Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.92</p>

<p>Class Rank: I have no clue. I am in serious competition with 2 other students and we keep switching back and forth between placement. I am either the valedictorian, saludictorian, or in 3rd place.</p>

<p>APs: My high school doesn't offer AP courses because my high school offers 60 free college credits to all of its students. The credits I earn are called dual credits. According to my research, JHU and Georgetown accept dual credits. I will graduate with all 60 credits, in addition to 3 high school courses that were not needed. (basically, I have taken the most rigorous curriculum available)
College Courses:
-4 English Courses (Comp 1, Comp 2, 2 English electives)
-4 math courses (College algebra, college trig, calculus for the life sciences 1, calc for ls 2)
-2 science courses and labs (Elementary Chemistry and Lab, General Chemistry and Lab)
-2 social studies courses (American Government and Human Psychology)
-1 computer class
-2 French courses (elementary French 1 and 2)
-1 prep course for general chemistry 2 (only 1 credit-pass or fail)
HS extra courses:
-Human Anatomy (1 credit-year)
-Environmental Science (1 credit-year)
-Economics (0.5 credit-half a year)</p>

<p>Scores:
-ACT: 28
English-30
Math-28
Reading-28
Science-26</p>

<p>ECs:
-Reach Intern as a rising sophomore (I worked in my local hospital to learn more about the dynamics of the medical field. Only 10 of over 1000 applicants were selected in my area)
-Co-editor of the school's newspaper (until the program was cut)
-in-house debate team (until the program was cut)
-yearbook (2 years)
-youth-to-youth (2 years)
-tutor
-160+ hour commitment to my local hospital for my senior project (it is worth 1 hs credit)
-debutante in waiting for the 2011 debutante cotillion ball
-representative of my school for youth city council (of my city of course)</p>

<p>I don't have my hopes set to high, even though these schools are my dream colleges. I applied to Penn and was denied :-(</p>

<p>I have many other colleges I am applying to, like BU, BayU, UMiami, UT, OU, CWRU, and UDay, but I would like you to focus on JHU and Georgetown.
Cappex gave me some hope-94% fit for JHU and 97% fit for Georgetown. Cappex says that I would have solid application for JHU. For Georgetown, on the other hand, I'm in the middle. I would like some human input, so please be nice.</p>

<p>BTW: I can write kick-ass essays :-)
Thanks again.</p>

<p>Have you looked at the Hopkins Insider blog? A JHU admissions officer has put up a couple of posts recently on how he evaluates candidates. Even though your test scores are low, reading his posts makes me more optimistic about your chances. I think you’ll really need to nail the essays and letters of recommendation though.</p>
