What Are My Chances? (This is my first post)

<p>Hello, I'm in my senior year of high school at the moment and am planning on applying to Johns Hopkins. I'm in a modified early college program where all of my classes are at the local community college and I will graduate with an associate's degree in science. My guidance counselor told me that I'm taking the hardest curriculum that she has seen in her 20-30 years of working at the high school.</p>

<p>-Currently, my weighted GPA is approximately 4.7.
-My unweighted GPA is 3.82.
-I haven't checked with my school, but I feel confident that I am within the top 5% of my class.
-Here comes the part that worries me the most. I have taken the SAT once so far and my scores are:
-Reading: 690
-Math: 590
-Writing: 680
-Total: 1960
I'm planning on retaking it, but my scores won't be released until after the deadline, so I don't know with certainty if the new scores will be considered.</p>

<p>I am in the National Honors Society and consistently am on the honor roll.</p>

<p>Extra Curricular Activities Include:
-Volunteer Emergency Medical Technician at the local rescue squad.
-Volunteer at my church.
-2 years of indoor/outdoor track and cross country.
-Experience creating websites as a small business.
-I play 5 instruments (Self-taught). Mostly as a hobby, but also for my church.
-I will most likely be getting a research internship at a local engineering center soon.
-I made it to the regional science fair twice.</p>

<p>This semester, I'm taking:</p>

<p>-Calculus W/Analytic Geometry I
-College Chemistry I w/ lab
-U.S. Government I
-Public Speaking</p>

<p>Last year, I took:</p>

<p>-Precalculus I and II
-College Biology I and II w/ lab
-English Comp. I and II
-Survey of American Literature II
-U.S. History I and II
-A computer class on Microsoft Office
-Health
-Music Appreciation</p>

<p>If I am able to get strong recommendations, what do you think my chances of getting into Johns Hopkins are? Any input and advice is greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned that the SAT scores are holding you back. Everything else looks fine. If you can bring up your SAT scores to 2200, JHU would be a match. As of now, it is a reach.</p>

<p>Thanks for the evaluation and the quick reply! I apologize for my ignorance; I think I understand, but just to make sure I don’t misinterpret, will you please clarify for you mean by “a reach”?</p>
