<p>You have a solid resume so far. Depends on how you did on all your AP’s and the subject tests. I know a white guy who got in JHU with 1 AP test (scored a 4 I think).</p>

<p>You have advanced phys ed in your school? I wish I had that. :(</p>

3

<p>Yeah we do. It’s really chill (but that’s based on what my friends tell me lol!)</p>

<p>I’ve gotten two 4’s, one 3, and one 2. (Enough for the AP Scholar Status)</p>

<p>I would say you have a pretty good chance, but being an Asian student makes it tougher for you, unfortunately :(</p>

<p>Just knock out your first semester grades and you should be in the clear!</p>

<p>Chance me?

<p>Thank you! Also, I made a mistake. I’m actually out of state.</p>

6

<p>^Bump</p>

<p>Although my GPA is top 25%, my SAT is top 1% (if John Hopkins weights SAT more than GPA.)</p>

7

<p>I don’t think a 2100 is top 1%, I have a 2090 and my best score section is in the 97%. </p>

<p>I think JHU is a high match for you. You have great course rigor, good AP scores and EC’s. Best of luck!</p>

8

<p>I meant at my school.</p>

<p>At my school, we have this thingy that compares SAT Scores with other students in our grade.</p>

9

<p>i would say that johns hopkins for you is a low-reach, i assume you’re applying ED which would be helpful. I was rejected from JHU with similar stats (less EC’s, higher SAT/AP scores), i think though you have a fairly good shot, good luck</p>
