<p>If you think my resume is weak, please say so! hahaha I appreciate harsh criticisms if deserved</p>

<p>I would say that you have pretty good chances but the schools are so selective it is hard to give a truly definitive answer. If anything, I would bring up the CR score if possible.</p>

<p>bump bump - thank you!</p>

<p>MIT and Stanford can be crapshoots, but you are a very competitive candidate for both, and i think you have a pretty solid chance at Hopkins.</p>

<p>i would focus on bringing up your SAT critical reading
your EC’s are numerous, but I would recommend focusing on one or two with the most impact, especially if you include it in your essay.
in general, your stats look pretty awesome, but like mburns813 said, all of those schools are hard to call.
although i will say you probably have a good shot at jhu.
good luck :slight_smile:

<p>AIME achievements really give you a boost for MIT!</p>

<p>I dunno if awards given before freshmen year are given any consideration though.</p>

<p>But better chances than me lol : )</p>

<p>a 5 on BC calc in 10th grade??? what the…</p>

<p>Anyways, on with the chances. The CR section of the SAT needs improvement for these schools. If you could raise it to just 700 I’d say you’re solid. I was able to get into MIT with a 2290 and a 3.91 UW gpa and roughly the same quantity and positioning in extracurriculars.</p>

<p>You have amazing academic credentials and impressive awards, as well as demonstrated leadership. I would say you have very favorable chances. Good luck!</p>

<p>u shud prob bring up ur CR score</p>

<p>IMO JHU is a sure thing for you. You stand an excellent shot at Stanford and MIT as well.
As others have said, bringing up CR would be a good idea. That is your major weak point. Otherwise, you have great test scores and seem to have a gift for math, which MIT will definitely appreciate.</p>

<p>I also want to go into BME, chance me back?</p>

<p>Wow! Those are terrific credentials. Good for you. Agree with everyone who said that Stanford and MIT are so hard to get into these days I wouldn’t tell anyone they will get in. I’d be pretty surprised if you didn’t get into JHU. With your family income you won’t qualify for any need based assistance. Just mentioned that in case you didn’t realize it.</p>

<p>i don’t get how you can get a 5 in bc calc as a sophomore, yet a 4 in ap human geo?
its all good (:</p>

<p>chance back?

<p>MIT and Stanford are reaches for everyone, but I would guess that you’ll get into one of them since you have great stats. In at JHU.</p>

<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/735911-chance-georgia-peach-stanford-other-top-schools-i-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/735911-chance-georgia-peach-stanford-other-top-schools-i-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Great profile! STanford and MIT are hard, but if anyone gets in, it will most likely be you. JHU is almost a sure thing. chance me back?<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/736144-chance-upcoming-senior-my-school-picks.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/736144-chance-upcoming-senior-my-school-picks.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>bump bump bump bump!!!</p>

<p>MIT, reach
Stanford, reach
Johns Hopkins, reach
just work on essays and get awesome rec’s and u’ll be fine. i wanted to apply to stanford early this year but changed my mind (bad resume)
good luck to u!
and thx for chancing me</p>

<p>I would say an almost definite in at JHU. I know a couple of people with much lower stats and ec’s and got in. Like the others said before the other two can never be considered definites, but I think you have a good shot.</p>

<p>MIT: Reach
Hopkins: Match/In
Harvard: Reach </p>

<p>you seem to have a really good chance; your only real weakness is your class rank and your critical reading on the sat… do you plan on retaking it? most schools superscore/use score choice anyway so even if you did slightly worse on the other sections it couldn’t hurt you much.</p>
