<p>i think you have a really strong shot... scores are great, gpa perfect, science math scores are good, and you have research/science/math related ECs with leadership. and if you're why major essay is as good as you say then i think you'll get in! i'm applying for BME too, but i'm not too optimistic. hopefully i'll at least get in for my second major choice. good luck!</p>

<p>i would say you're most probably in JHU, and one of the better candidates for BME
you seem well rounded with your ecs/awards and your scores are up there as well.
good luck, and maybe chance me back??</p>
