<p>have you tried contacting JHU for basketball? I can't really assess how good at basketball you are, but sport recruits gets in a lot easier.</p>

<p>Yes! Good idea Fastfingers! I definitely think he should contact the B-ball coach. </p>

<p>Are you interested in playing college ball rayman? It's D3 but still very competitive at JHOP</p>

<p>If not, that's ok. Your achievements in sports are a nice + either way.</p>

<p>I think your academic stats look good but they are very typical of a Hopkins applicant. You have other things that make you stand out so I say you have a good shot and should feel confidet, if not "optimistic," when applying.</p>

<p>Good luck to you!</p>
