<p>You didn’t really give us a lot of information so I’ll sort of break up my evaluation in a few categories:</p>
<p>GPA: It seems really competitive but it would really help to get a sense of what the average GPA of an accepted student from your school is and where you stand in your class (even if you just give us an estimate)</p>
<p>Testing: Your ACT is great! It’s better than the 75th percentile so you’re pretty much golden. If I were you, I wouldn’t bother with the SAT but I would take subject tests because they’ll enhance your application if you do well on them. What were your AP scores? If you only have 4s and 5s, you should be fine. </p>
<p>Schedule: What APs did you take and what does your school offer? If you have the hardest schedule available at your school, you’re all good! </p>
<p>ECs: I have the impression that you really don’t have any leadership positions. That will probably hurt you. I don’t think that any of your ECs particularly stand out and I would probably say they’re your major weak spot. If your music is really time consuming and you have evidence to show your dedication to music (namely awards), that would certainly help your application.</p>
<p>Demographics/Hooks: It would really help if you’re a URM (under represented minority) or from a state that doesn’t have a lot of applicants. </p>
<p>Assuming that you’re an unhooked white male/female, I would say that Hopkins is a High Match in that there’s a ~35% chance of you getting accepted. ED may help increase your chances. </p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>How do you get a 35 on the ACT and spell chances wrong?</p>
