Hi everyone! So my dream school is Johns Hopkins University. What are my chances of getting in if I scored a 2300 on my SAT and have a 3.7 unweighted but 4.68 weighted GPA. I’m currently taking 5 AP classes and 2 GT. I am the president of 2 elite clubs at my school and am in 5 honors societies (national honors society, French, math, science, and history). I am very active in my community for I have already 100 service hours. I also have an internship at JHH in the neuroanesthesiology research department. What are my chances of getting into Johns Hopkins? I really want to go and I hope to apply there early decision. I realize my GPA is slacking but can my sat score and EC boost me up to get in early decision? Thanks! I appreciate any help anyone can give me.
Go to the Common Data Set for JHU (google it), scroll down to Section C and compare your stats to those of admitted students. That’s the best way to chance yourself. And don’t get hung up on dream schools. JHU is an excellent school but not so unique that if you don’t get in you won’t be able to accomplish your goals elsewhere. Talk to your folks now about whether they can even afford it - and what your alternatives are. Nephew of mine just turned down JHU for a full-ride at his excellent state U and a spot in the honors program. (Turned down Cornell and Wash U too). A good choice for him given that the other options were not even close to free.
