<p>me in the same score line... 1720...just feeeeeel so shattered after knowing the result...</p>
<p>I improved my math score but my total score went down. When I found out Tuesday, I spent my first period class in the nurse puking my guts out. I still feel like crap :(</p>
<p>tinas...don't feel so bad... like everyone said: SAT doesn't mean EVERYTHING...</p>
<p>Several years ago a guy with 1200 (out of 1600) got into Harvard. Another guy with the same score got into the same Ivy school...same year I think...</p>
<p>So...don't stress out... There's always University of WA if you're going medical! I'm applying to UW for my safety and b/c I'm resident in WA^^ heh heh! In-state tuition fees!!! Woot!!</p>
<p>Plus, careers don't look at undergraduate schools - graduate schools! So, you can go to a crap college - like Evergreen IMO - and go to like Hopkins or UW, you're fine!</p>
<p>Good luck everyone with college decisions!</p>
<p>Its not about getting into JHU anymore. Its elevated into so many other things. </p>
<p>Just one example: </p>
<p>All my life I've felt like I didn't belong in advanced classes (when I placed in them) I grew up with people telling me I was going to fail. My 7th grade teacher LAUGHED in my face when I wanted to apply to a school for smart kids. My counselor 10th grade wouldn't let me be in the IB diploma (my aunt threatened to get county involved)</p>
<p>As a result, 11th and 12th, I feel like an outcast in my IB classes. Like I'm not smart enough and that I'll never succeed-that I'm in idiot, a fake. </p>
<p>But if I get into JHU, then its like "you're not a fake" and I can finally feel smart. Finally. If I don't get in, then all along I've been a fake and I don't belong in IB since I obviously don't emit rays of "potential" and "success" And the SATs showed that. </p>
<p>Thats why I'm so sick.</p>
<p>Ahh I see your problem.</p>
<p>So you are basically obsessed with what people think about you, or THEIR perception of YOUR life? </p>
<p>Frankly, you should never fall victim to such BS. There people like that in every school (yes I sit with them everyday in class, listening to them complaining about not being satisfied with a 99.5% grade...) Get over it. Just focus on your own stuff and who cares what "they think," since we all know that these guys are pretty much naively immature themselves.</p>
<p>Those don't justify the reasons for getting into JHU... Really!</p>
<p>I went to JHU Pre-College program in my sophomore year and people who were going there because it made them look "good" told me not to apply if I saw JHU as they had...</p>
<p>Unless you want to be a doctor or an engineer of some sort, JHU would not be an ideal option...</p>
<p>AND you're NOT a failure. I think the only reason why you "fail" is because you allow people to tell you that - sounds like a psychologist huh, but it's true...cliched but true!</p>
<p>Getting into JHU doesn't mean you're smart. Fact, I've seen bunch of idiots from JHU and they don't seem as smart. Pick a school that's for YOU not for others. Like I said, going to JHU doesn't make you any smarter than a guy going to Univ. of Idaho. It's what you make of yourself that makes you "smart."</p>
<p>...but good luck with JHU :)</p>
<p>**2400 on SATs DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE SMART. Look at George W. Bush, who went to Yale with 1200/1600 on his SATs...</p>
<p>GWB was the presidents son, of course he's going to get in. </p>
<p>Those aren't the ONLY reasons I'm applying to JHU. Oh I have many many more (actually because of the school). I had my reasons for applying to JHU and they kind of fused with other goals of mine.</p>
<p>I want to become a virologist, btw.</p>
<p>Good luck with your admissions :)</p>
<p>Remember, undergrad doesn't really count... grad school does and I think JHU Med accepts like 200 or 500 people per year...</p>
<p>Hey, JHU also has one of the best International Studies program in the country! In fact, international studies is the MOST popular major on campus.</p>
