<p>With all due respect, either mathwiz34 (i) is trying to be funny, (ii) doesn’t have a clue or (iii) is a ■■■■■. Ignore him in any case.</p>
<p>Looking at your stats – the overall GPA is a bit low for these schools. However, GPA is one of the things that it’s difficult to evaluate because different schools have different grading standards. I’m assuming, btw that 3.6 is unweighted? Do you have any idea as to your class rank? This would be helpful in evaluating your grades.</p>
<p>6 APs by junior year looks like you’re taking a challenging schedule, which is good!!</p>
<p>The SATs are fantastic, and should help you overcome the grades at least somewhat.</p>
<p>ECs – was the state tennis championship Individual (in which case, this is excellent) or team (in which case it’s very good), if the latter, I’m assuming that you played, rather than were just part of the team. In any event – a team sport is a time eater, and explains why you don’t have a laundry-list of activities. Other activities, especially community service look very good. My view is that it’s probably somewhat above average on the whole.</p>
<p>Awards – the Science awards look nice. How many are given out in your state – if it’s something like one or two golds – this is fantastic – I’m assuming that a significant number of students win awards at all levels, which is still very nice.</p>
<p>Overall – please provide more information, especially on the grading system. From what I see, you have shot (probably a greater shot at JHU because their admissions percentage is higher). If your tennis is an individual title, and the number of science awards are very limited, I’d say your chances are good-excellent (though keep in mind that with the current admissions percentages, even excellent may mean less than 50% at these schools. Otherwise, I’d say either they’re somewhere in the high-match/low-reach range.</p>
<p>In any event with your stats, you should apply.</p>
