<p>My weighted gpa is 4.1 and unweighted is 3.7.
How much emphasis does JHU admissions place on GPA? I'm really worried about applying cuz i only had total of 4 hp/ap's in 10th and 11th grades combined and lot of b's in 10th. Even tho my grades improved within the 2 years, I still think my chances are low. If I take 5 ap's in senior year and get a's in them, will that look good enough to adcom? My SAT is 1810 right now but I'll retake it and hopefully break 2nd millennium mark. Can someone plz chance me based on those stats?</p>
<p>Does your school have Naviance? The average accepted GPA at JHU for my school on Naviance is 3.6, but my school is very competitive (average SAT of 2100, etc.), so it could be very different for you. Naviance would be a good tool if you have it.</p>
<p>that unweighted gpa is slackin</p>
<p>your SATs need improvement. your gpa is on the lower side of acceptances but i think your SATs are way too low baring an otherwise exceptional application/disadvantaged, etc.</p>
<p><em>idk</em>, IDK what you’re talking about… the average UW GPA for an admitted student is 3.7

<p>AdamJaz, are you really citing tpr? why not cite jhu…
"The Admissions Committee at Johns Hopkins University looks at all aspects of a student’s high school transcript including GPA, course selection, class rank, and all four years of grades. For statistical purposes we do examine an unweighted GPA on a 4.0 in academic core courses, in conjunction with an evaluation of course rigor. Average high school GPA for admitted or enrolling students is one of the statistics that we do not normally publish since it does not reveal anything about the competitive nature of our class. Every high school in America and the world calculates GPAs differently. Additionally, since our application review process is holistic and comprehensive, quoting averages and statistics really does not get to the heart of the Admissions review process.</p>
<p>Understanding all of that, typically the admitted class at Hopkins have a GPA of 3.86 or higher on a 4.0 unweighted scale. This average high school GPA is an unweighted 4.0 GPA that is re-calculated for each applicant. We use a system that calculates grades on a 4.0 system based on both a letter grading system (4.0 for A, 3.7 for A-, 3.3 for B+, 3.0 for B…) or numeric system (4.0 for 90-100, 3.0 for 80-89,…). There is no weighting added to this scale for the level of course. As well, these admitted students typically are in the “most” rigorous curricula available to them in their high schools - typically translated as taking 6 or more AP/IB classes throughout the four years of high school."

i was just extrapolating from what AdmissionsDaniel has posted before.</p>
<p>Here is the actual [stats</a> from JHU](<a href=“http://apply.jhu.edu/facts/facts.html]stats”>http://apply.jhu.edu/facts/facts.html)</p>
<p>Yo <em>idk</em></p>
<p>Here is the common data set: <a href=“Registrar - Homewood Schools (KSAS & WSE) | Office of the Registrar | Johns Hopkins University”>Registrar - Homewood Schools (KSAS & WSE) | Office of the Registrar | Johns Hopkins University;
<p>Apparently, the average enrolling frosh has a mean HS GPA of 3.71; while that differs from the concept of average admitted pre-frosh, it still means OP would fit in with enrolling class. </p>

<p>Adam: in my reply, i stated OP would be in the bottom half (aka lower side) of **acceptances **and the common data set shows that 53% had > 3.75 (for matriculants)… the CDS doesn’t talk about acceptance data, rather it focuses on matriculant/enrolled student data. so *assuming *the 3.86 thing is correct, OP would be in the bottom half of both accepted and enrolled students in gpa… but not by too much, i suppose, if we are talking about students that enroll. </p>
<p>obviously, if the overall average for enrolled students is a 3.71 you are not SOL… but that SAT needs to go up.</p>
<p>Just relax. What was cited above from AdmissionsDaniel is of course correct, but there is absolutely no formula for a student to get in. I have a couple of friends here with SATs in the 1700’s, and they are doing just fine. Then there are people with perfect scores who do not get in. Same with the GPAs. Your other activities matter too. What college wants a 4.3 student with a 2400 SAT, and no other activities? Retake the SAT if you wish, your score will go up the second time most likely because that’s what usually happens (the best SAT practice is the score itself, anyway IMO), and focus on enjoying yourself and having the whole package.</p>
<p>Bengie, of course people get in with lower stats. im sure you can do well at hopkins coming in with a 1800, and im sure you can get rejected with a perfect score. the fact of the matter is that you want to give yourself the best chance to get in. if 75% of acceptances have over a 2030 or w/e it is, then you should at least aim to break that score and give yourself a better chance of acceptance.</p>
<p>thank u for advice, everyone. i really appreciate u guys’ constructionist comments</p>
