<p>Gpa: 3.71 unweighted. 92.8/100 for 3 years. 92.3 average for first term of senior year. SATs: 550cr 590m 670w (1140/1600). 2 years of Honor society. 2-3 clubs a year. One sport a year. 3 years of community service. Advanced math. Advanced history. Private school. Electives taken. (sorry for this format-computer broken)</p>

<p>Sorry man, your not gonna make it.</p>

<p>You can just look at the middle quartiles of JHU to get an idea regarding acceptance and scholarships.</p>

<p>SAT Critical Reading: 630 - 740
SAT Math: 660 - 770
SAT Writing: 640 - 740 </p>

<p>To get a scholarship, your stats would likely need to be well within the upper quartile

  • so above a 2250. </p>

<p>To have a good chance of acceptance (without a hook or being a URM), your Math + CR would need to be at least a 1290. Your score puts you in the lower 25%, which is often for athletes, URMs, and other special admits.</p>

<p>You need to make sure that you’re applying to places where an 1140 is at least average for the school. And if you want scholarships, your 1140 needs to be high for the school.</p>

<p>mom2collegekids, are you looking at Johns Hopkins or James Madison Univesity?</p>

<p>Ha…you’re right! So sorry.</p>

<p>I misread JMU for JHU. thanks for the correction.</p>

<p>JMU middle quartiles</p>

<p>SAT Critical Reading: 540 - 640
SAT Math: 550 - 650
SAT Writing: 540 - 640 </p>

<p>So, an 1140 M+CR SAT is towards the bottom of the middle quartiles. You might get accepted, but very unlikely you’d get a scholarship. Looks like M+CR would need to be over 1300 for merit.</p>

<p>forget scholarship then. what about just regular acceptance?</p>

<p>I agree with mom2collegekids.</p>

<p>Jimmy…are you instate? If so, that may be an advantage for acceptance. Is the school more lenient for instate students (some publics are.)</p>

<p>If you’re OOS, then if the school wants more full-pay OOS students, then maybe you’ll be accepted. But, if your family is expecting you to get a scholarship to help pay for the high OOS costs, then that could be an issue.</p>

<p>finances arent an issue in my house. im OOS and my parents dont mind paying the OOS cost</p>
