<p>SAT Score: 1720
Just took another test, but the score will probably be in the same range :-(</p>

2

<p>Try to bump your SAT score up to at least 2100. </p>

3

<p>You will have to raise your test score.</p>

4

<p>Everything besides your SAT looks great! Definitely work on that, or maybe try the ACT instead.</p>

5

<p>If I take the ACT and get a score between 31-36, will JHU overlook my SAT score? </p>

6

<p>hopkins uses score choice, so definitely yes!</p>

7

<p>APPLY ED!!! I can see you getting in</p>

8

<p>Regular decision you will get rejected</p>

9

<p>Applying ED would be a solid bet</p>

<p>If you paid for membership to the National Society of High School Scholars, it’s essentially not real. I would be hesitant to put it on your app. It’s one of those organizations that high-achieving kids pay into to just list something else on their app. I was invited into it too, but I didn’t want to pay for it and I will not be hurt by it.</p>

11

<p>I got 1760 on my SAT and my superscore comes out to be 1830. Does this help my situation in any way, since I’m applying ED?</p>

12

<p>That scores is still too low for JHU.</p>

13

<p>even for ED?</p>

14

<p>You need to break at least 2100, recommend 2200 to get a solid shot at Hopkins. </p>
