<p>u guys think i have a chance??</p>

<p>I am an international student going to my senior in an american international christian school in indonesia. i will graduate in 2006 and I am interested in applying to JHU for BME. The school i attend is really small (total 70 students). Being a small school there arent many oppurtunities. No AP courses, no clubs and only 2 sports teams</p>

<p>I think the fact that your school doesn't have clubs won't matter because you've made up for that by volunteering, organizing fundraisers, competing in math, musicals, etc. I don't know how much harder it is to get into Hopkins BME as opposed to regular Hopkins undergrad, but I'd say if you do as well on your SATs/SAT IIs as you predict, you have a very good shot.</p>
