<p>i think thats it, myabe if i think some more things up ill edit.
Please dont bash me over anything specific, constructive criticism is welcome. i just want to know if i can get into JHU for either biomedical eng. or even their pre-med concentration. if anyone think i have a fair chance at anywhere better than JHU, please let me know =), but i doubt it because of my SAT score =/. BTW im taking the oct. SAT and plan to score close to 2200, maybe even higher who knows ::winks::</p>

<p>Thanks a lot!!</p>

<p>If you do actually get your scores up, you have a really good chance. Early decision will help. I'd say get a 2100+ and you're fine.</p>

3

<p>thanks koala717 thats very reassuring.
bringing up my post for any other opinions =)</p>

<p>few other questions:
1. what about pre-med in Rice? any chance for me?
2. are there any other pre-med options available (i.e other colleges)</p>

4

<p>bumpity bumpity bump xD</p>

5

<p>anyone have any % chances or any other colleges that might be good for me if i dont get in to JHU</p>

6

<p>Which school do you go to? Which ILMUNC did you go to? Do you know anyone from WW-P South from the Waksman program?</p>

<p>Good chance for JHU with the research and stuff. Try to raise the SAT, though - especially the math. Better chance at Reed.</p>

<p>theoneo:
1. I go to John P. Stevens High School(#40 in state)
2. The last ILMUNC, i think it was 21. i was in UNODC (representing Germany),
3. I dont know what WW-P south is, so please explain =)</p>

8

<p>1) I go to WW-P North. #1 in the state =D
2) I went to ILMUNC 04 (XX?) and 05 (XXI?). At the last one, I was Costa Rica in ECOFIN - I think Germany won an award.
3) WW-P South is the other high school in my district. They participate in the Waksman program. We don't.</p>

<p>Oh...We pwn at debating
do you remember my school? it was basically all indians, in a caucasion environment.
I was laughing my head off! XD
btw we only won in UNODC and UNDP that year. The rest were all verbal commendations.</p>

10

<p>Hm we got Outsanding Small Delegation. WW-P South got Honorable Mention or whatever is below Outstanding. I believe the Lawrenceville School got Best Small Delegation. And we're all within like 15 minutes of each other =D. Central Jersey pride.</p>

<p>And yeah, I think we have an average of 3 non-asians at each MUN conference. My district has as many asians as caucasians.</p>

11

<p>so anyway =P
getting back to the topic, can anyone tell me if i have any chances of getting accepted into the biomedical eng. at JHU. ive heard good things about it.
any statistics are welcome!!</p>

12

<p>I'd say you have a good chance. Your stats, sans the SAT, are similarly to mine, so I hope you get in for sure.</p>

<p>Not to solicit, but could you reply to my thread maybe?</p>

13

<p>bump, anyone else?</p>

14

<p>Got any other questions for me?</p>

<p>Hey I kinda would like someone to go to my thread and do the accepted/deferred/rejected thing.</p>

<p>If you could do that for me it would be great.</p>

<p>Oh I should tell you, for SAT, I found the College Board book to be great.</p>

15

<p>i think you have a good chance...just get that SAT score up and stop being an ass ;-)</p>

16

<p>How's a 2080 and 750+ on 4 SAT II's on getting into JHU?</p>

17

<p>you have a better chance of getting in than i do</p>
