<p>I think you should abandon the percent thing. You can't objectively gage a percent off of qualitative data. Anyway, I think you've got a shot, although the essays should be more than decent. Just work on those a bit and you'll have a good chance.</p>

<p>OK let me just say this
ur scores, e.c. its all there and all is well
a problem? small one i guess. it is the fact that u look like a typical azn candidate, meaning really great scores and e.c.'s
now im not sure if jhu has this kinda agenda, but some schools dont wanna see that "typical" azn. they wanna see something that stands out like high verbal, writing or sports or lots of leadership (not saying u dont have these, im just pointing out). if u have something that distinguishes u from this "typical azn-ness" i suggest u write about it</p>

<p>o, dont find this offensive cause im an azn that got into jhu. but, i may be totally wrong about this thing lol</p>

<p>i had pretty similar stats. your stats are a bit better than mine. i got in, so you should have a pretty good chance too.</p>

5

<p>In my Opinion DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO DOUBT LOL ;)</p>

<p>you are pretty close to what i was...
except a little better numbers
and i got in</p>

<p>the thing i believe the most about college admissions is that the top 25 USWN&R are really whimsical and mysterious. Most kids have the numbers, but what I would stress is your voice. If you find your voice, find what you want to say, then if the college like you what they hear, they'll take you. If they dont, they dont like who you are, and who wants to go to a college that does like them right?</p>

<p>Say what you want to say in ur essays, the college that listens will take you, the college that doesn't, nothing will change their mind.</p>

Being from West Virginia will really help you application because that state is not know for sending a lot of students to really good colleges.</p>

<p>Last year during orientation, one of the speakers said that they don't consider a person's homestate in his/her application. They said something along the lines of "we don't care where you're from, we chose the people that would succeed the most at Hopkins."</p>

<p>your only problem getting in would have to be everyone else that is trying to get in too</p>

<p>xnwc87 is correct - demographic information such as home state does not factor in when admissions decisions are made</p>
