<p>Hi everyone, I'm currently a junior who just visited Johns Hopkins this past weekend. I absolutely love it, and the fact that its Writing Seminars major is one of the best in the country. However, my love for Hopkins brings me to a difficult decision regarding my future. </p>
<p>I have wanted to apply to Columbia ED for years now. This has always been my plan. But - since I am not a total superstar and my SAT is so low, my chances of being admitted to Columbia have decreased even mote over the years. My SAT is embarrassing. It's only a 1910. I know I can get it up to 2000+, but my math score would still only be about a 660. Because of this poor score (I'm aware that it is not actually bad, I'm just saying in the eyes of certain schools), I don't think Columbia is a realistic option anymore. I don't want to waste an ED application only to not get in. I think I will have a better shot at Hopkins. </p>
<p>I'm torn between applying to either JHU or Columbia ED. Both schools have fantastic reputations, and I know I will have a great chance of getting into the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism if I complete my undergrad degree at either university. If anyone can offer some insight into my dilemma, I will be totally grateful. Some stats:
GPA: 96.5 UW, 104.0 W
SAT: 1910 (will take again!!)
Course Load: IB Diploma
ECs: several leadership positions, as well as interesting community service
Essays: I'm going for creative writing. They better be fabulous.
Recs: will be great
Awards: regional awards for writing, as well as a National Gold Medal through the Scholatic Art and Writing Awards</p>
<p>Thanks for your input!(: ignore the "actually" at the end of this message. For some reason, I can't delete it. </p>
