<p>God dang you're good. Haha I'm jealous I'm also applying to Hopkins. I would say you are in.</p>

<p>How are you so good at Math Team and you only have a 780 on SAT Math?! FAIL! jk jk jk</p>

<p>I know the feeling :), I also have an 800 in SAT Math II and I've gotten 36 on ACT math. 750 on SAT math twice though, hopefully when I get my scores Tuesday I will have my 800.</p>

3

<p>I got one wrong.... the injustice....</p>

4

<p>I know how you feel, I got 1 question wrong and got 750 too :( would have gotten 800 otherwise and 2200 overall :(</p>

<p>I think you got a really good shot, but just curious why JHU for Chem or Math? Neither are JHU specialties are they?</p>

5

<p>Not really... I heard Chem is ok...</p>

<p>JHU is just a beautiful place. I also really like the freedom we have with curriculum.</p>

6

<p>hey, I'm not doubting your choice or anything, I've just had it pounded into me by my school that JHU is all bioengineering and international relations... just uninformed. Soz</p>

7

<p>Don't worry! I didn't think you were doubting me or take any offense</p>

8

<p>I got my SAT scores back. 770 on math....shoot me now</p>

9

<p>mmm match.</p>

10

<p>Chem & Math are highly respected from JHU in fact. Anything in the hard sciences (physics, math, chem or related fields) is exceptional, particularly because undergrads at JHU get so much attention from faculty -- only 800 Arts & Science students enroll per year... that's pretty awesome.</p>

11

<p>Any other input?</p>

12

<p>I would say you are in; But if I were you, I would expect much better colleges.</p>

13

<p>...how come?</p>
