<p>Hello fellow college hopefuls. I was deferred from the early decision round at Penn and was wondering what my chances were on being admitted during the regular phase at my second top choice--J Hopkins and would LOVE to go here. I really wanted to apply ED but was swayed by my parents and my GC to Penn b/c of the prestige, ivy league, and etc... I go to an extremely competitive school on Long Island (you can imagine), which has tons of penn applicants every year. I would appreciate if anyone knew that was the percentage of students that were deferred are admitted to the college for regular decision.</p>
<p>My stats:
96 GPA (UNWEIGHTED), we do not weight averages and we use a 100 point scale. For example, we are given averages out of 100 and then they are all averaged at the end of the year. A 90-100, B 80-89, etc
9 Honors courses taken, 10 AP courses (4 junior year courses) </p>
<p>Mid Year Senior Grades
We have 2 semesters (each semester has 2 quarters), and colleges will see my first 2 quarters of my senior year</p>
<p>Senior year courses
AP Physics A B
AP Calculus BC A A
AP Eng Language A A
AP Economics A A
AP Spanish Language A A
AP Psychology A A</p>
<p>Good Extracurriculars which i will not list at this time b/c when i tried to copy and paste my resume, the format got all messed up but I am apart of many clubs and president of one organization that I started at my school (community service organizion) and Captain of the Tennis team
-staff writer for the school newspaper
-have won many tennis tournaments
-have done a lot of community service--peer tutoring
-have done research outside of school, entered my project into Intel and Siemens Westinghouse
-have played in outside orchestras
-apart of Model UN and Math Team, have won some awards</p>
<p>I'd say you have a good shot. Dont be swayed by "prestige", people in the know realize that a Hopkins diploma is at least as good as an Ivy diploma, especially in science, medicine, IR, CW and some other big departments. Good luck!</p>
<p>Can't answer your question, but only provide a comment: your GC is foolish if s/he only suggested Penn bcos it happened to be in a D-1 sports league - perhaps your GC was trying to boost your HS Ivy numbers??. Hopkins is well known in the US, and internationally (perhaps more so than Penn?), as a great school.</p>
<p>pennhopeful, I have no intention to stalk you. what happened was I saw this thread on Cornell board and then when I went to Northwestern thread, I also saw the exact same thread, with the title, "I love Northwestern" I think it was. Then, yeah, I did find all the posts by you to see how many people you are trying to deceive. People are trying to evaluate your chances because it is your SECOND choice. Tell them it's your 5th choice. Do you think they will still put effort to even read your stats? Why can't you just say you are interested instead of saying it is your second choice? I mean I don't know why but that just makes me mad. by the way, I love how you think you are smart enough to fool people and think other people are stupid enough to be fooled at the same time.</p>
<p>I guess you love UPenn more? If you can't make Penn ED, it's unlikely that you'll make Hopkins RD unless your stats improve. Penn admitted 34.2% of their ED applicants in Dec. 2004. JHU will admit fewer than a quarter of their RD pool this year.</p>
<p>Ritchieboy, thanks for the input but I highly doubt that you can predict that i will not be admitted to JHU. First of all, you should know that admissions are random and I do have the number stats to get into penn and jhu for that matter and I realize that its all a crap shoot. By you saying that I have no chance unless my stats improve is proposterous b/c I highly doubt that everyone who is admitted to JHU regular has above a 96 gpa and 1450 sat, please correct me if I am wrong.</p>
