<p>Applied for financial aid since my parents make less than 65k a year.</p>

<p>I submitted my Hopkins ED application about a week ago but I'm kind of worried and anxious for that December 15th deadline. Any chances would be appreciated and I'll chance back.</p>

<p>You have excellent GPA and ECs… You don’t have to worry…

<p>Wow youre a great candidate for hopkins ED. Looks like a shoo-in unless you write terrrrrible essays (which is unlikely).</p>

<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/805994-chance-me-columbia-ed.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/805994-chance-me-columbia-ed.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>You should be fine. You have a strong application.</p>

<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/807657-chance-me-new-england-state-schools-more.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/807657-chance-me-new-england-state-schools-more.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Well your application is obviously good enough. Good ACT, good subject test scores, great rank, rigorous schedule, as well as strong ECs. And you say that your counselor recs and teacher recs are going to be good too, and I would assume your essays will be fairly strong. Don’t see why you wouldn’t be accepted at JH, especially since you are an ED applicant. </p>

<p>GL, maybe chance me back?
