<p>K, I really really want to go to Johns Hopkins/Columbia to study Biomedical Engineering or to Harvard for Biochemistry. What chances do you guys think I have of getting in?</p>

<p>well here r the stats:

SAT IIs: 760 Math2, 780 Biology M, 800 Chemistry
APs: N/A
Currently taking: IB HL Chem, Bio and Math. IB SL English, Chinese [I'm Indian tho] and Economics
Activities and stuff: Lots of time spent in service with an autistic school, also a lot of time with the Missionaries of Charity. Leadership is not a problem, I've been House captain and Student Council Rep. Play Basketball. Doing Model United Nations for ages. Quite a bit of various other debating as well.
Recs: 1 from bio teacher, she has a PhD. all boxes ticked as Very Good [well above average] and top 10%.
1 from Chemistry teacher, really glowing ref, all top 10% and up.
1 from counselor
essay:
My essay is about the experiences in the autistic school, how I learnt the meaning of Hope. Got loads of people to read it and they've said it's good.</p>

<p>Do I have a shot at any of those 3?</p>

<p>Are you an international applicant? That makes it tougher, in general. If you are in the United States, to you have a regular GPA? Predicted IB scores are not used that much in the US, although they will certainly understand them at the schools you mention. Your scores and ECs are good, but not outstanding for Harvard and Columbia.</p>
