<p>I'm definitely way ahead of the game here, but I'm hoping to find out what everyone thinks my chances would be to get into JHU.</p>
<p>I'm a sophomore at a well-known school in central Illinois, currently top of the class. I, so far, have an unweighted GPA of 4.0. Last week, I took an ACT online just for practice and got a 31. I would've done much better had I not bombed the mathematics portion. This was only because I have not yet learned how to do a good majority of the material (sines, cosines, and tangents). (33 in science, 33 in reading, 29 in english, and 27 in math). On a practice SAT I got a 2150, although I can't remember any specifics per category. I'm assuming that I will do somewhat better on both of those when I take them in the spring of 2014. By the time I graduate I plan to take AP classes in World History, US History, Psychology, English, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Calculus AB, and possibly Statistics. I also plan to take all four years of Spanish.
I want to major in Biomedical Engineering and then get a PhD in Genetics or genetic engineering.</p>
<p>I also have several extra curriculars that should help for admission

<p>Also, I've played the guitar for 9 years and played (yes, past tense :( ) baseball for 11 years. (I don't know if those matter, since I probably won't participate at JHU, but rather to show that I am well-rounded)</p>
<p>Thanks so much! And I'm open to any ideas. If Johns Hopkins isnt the college for me, than please give your opinions!</p>
