<p>What are chances at JHU RD as a bio major?</p>

<p>your statistics are phenomenal</p>

3

<p>you’ll get into cornell ed probably so no worries.</p>

<p>I think you have a 50/50 chance in RD.<br>
I think you need something more outstanding than numbers to be admitted RD to Hopkins even with those numbers honestly. Hopkins is notorious for reviewing students holistically so students who may have slightly lower numbers but are unique in other ways, great essays, super recs, Intel SemiFinalists, nationally known for something etc. can easily be offered admission over students with astronomical numbers…</p>

<p>All of these students had similar testing/grades as you and were WL’d at Hopkins so I think RD at Hopkins is crazy competitive.</p>

<p>My suitemate last year and this year is also Indian with MUCH MUCH lower stats than you got into BME. You’re fine.</p>

<p>vader means your stats wont hold you back, but no one knows if you will be accepted or not. you wouldnt be the first person with near perfect stats rejected from hopkins regardless of bme or regular status.</p>
