<p>What're my chances?</p>

<p>Your grades, SAT, and accomplishments are all fairly strong. Beyond that the process is subjective.</p>

3

<p>awesome, it’s basically a crapshoot at this point right?</p>

4

<p>what do you want to study?
ED or RD?</p>

5

<p>Medicine and RD. I’m assuming that just lowered my chances?</p>

6

<p>I think you can get in if you apply ED. But in the RD pool for students interested in sciences, pre-med - you have to have something seriously amazing going on (Intel, USAMO, etc)</p>

<p>If you really want Hopkins, go Early. Have you visited and stuff?</p>

7

<p>^That’s something of an exaggeration. Intel/USAMO and the like are definitely not necessary to be admitted RD with science/pre-med interests. At any rate, I agree with al6200.</p>

8

<p>They are not a necessity clearly, but you have to have done SOMETHING seriously academic or seriously non-academic. in the RD pool. hard to predict but like with most schools - ED will definitely improve your chances. RD is, as everyone else says, unpredictable.</p>
