Please Chance me!!!! :)

<p>Thank you for taking the time to read this everybody; I really appreciate it ! I am a sophomore, and I am starting to think about colleges-I would like to receive others' opinions on how I stack up or if I am even on the right track. I posted a thread earlier, but I would like to better post my resume.</p>

<p>I am interested in biomedical engineering and would like to become a patent attorney. I would like to please know my chances at Hopkins (also looking at Wake, Duke, Vanderbilt, Chapel Hill, Brown, UPenn Yale, Harvard).</p>

<p>I have NOT taken the SAT yet (will take in fall). My mom went to Brown and I have done two summer camps there. I am 100% Greek (child of immigrant) living in the South. </p>

<p>Class Rank: Tied for first (39 total kids in grade) in rigorous private school</p>

<p>Passions/Interests:</p>

<p>Inventions: I whipped up about 20 inventions, ranging from low to high tech. I will do my best to begin patent process in the summer.</p>

<p>Medical Assistance: This summer, I am doing an extensive volunteer opportunity/internship where I shadow doctors and work with underpriveleged individuals.</p>

<p>Basketball: I have been Captain + MVP for back-to-back seasons now and have grown greatly in the game. I impressed a Brown scout last year while doing a camp, and I would be open to playing in college (already have one scholarship lined up).</p>

<p>Clarinet: I have played clarinet for over six years now, and enjoy it greatly. I write my own music sometimes, but I just love the sound of this instrument.</p>

<p>Church Service: I have been altar assistant for three years now in my Church, participate in youth group projects, and will have leadership oppurtunity next year.</p>

<p>Debate: Just finished my first year, and it was sweet! I had chool record best debut, continued to have top LD debator, and will tutor others in LD next year.</p>

<p>If you took the time to read all of this, thank you so much and tell me what you think! :)</p>

<p>I'll chance back or give my best advice!</p>

<p>Hey guys, can anybody give me some help? I am really interested in BME, and Hopkins would be a great place for this major.</p>

<p>BTW, is Hopkins’ qualty of life really low, because it does not sound like student life and campus quality is all that great?</p>

<p>definitely worth the shot. with these stats, even an SAT of 2100 + 2 subject SATs is good enough. remember nobody has a definite chance of getting in cuz even the most qualified ones don’t get in because lack of spots.</p>

<p>Thanks leoris90, I appreciate it!</p>

<p>What about student life, because it seems that it may be poor?</p>
