<p>just focus on your app. and you’ll def. get in! Don’t worry about your score, you have enough of other stuff to mask that…good luck! maybe I’ll see you there in 2 years! </p>

<p>p.s. a really good friends of mine: INDIAN MALE got in with a 1940 on the sat…SERIOUSLY…you’re good ;)</p>

3

<p>^^ what were his math + crit reading and AP scores/subject tests?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Are you talking about my friend or the OP?</p>

<p>Well, Arun had:
SAT: 1940 [M::700, CR: 560, W: 680, E: 12]
SAT II: Chem: 720 MATH II: 750
And a few 5’s on AP tests, etc.</p>

<p>I think Hopkins pays attention to a lot of ‘non-numerical’ factors when accepting students because I have seen students waitlisted or denied on here that are in the 2300’s and then students admitted in the 2000’s. You can search the Stat Profiles too. </p>

<p>If your GPA is great (top 5%), I think 2100+ (at least 700x3) makes you average with other applicants and then it comes down to everything else.</p>

6

<p>yea, I see what you mean. it wouldn’t be auto deny if you’re 2/3 in 700s though, right (other in 600s, mid-high)? Also… how strong is the applicant pool in ED usually?</p>

7

<p>^dude, no offense, but its “johns hopkins” the pool is ALWAYS competetive/“good”, as is the case with pretty much the top 20 schools in America…BUT I still stand by what I said above…</p>

8

<p>I imagine the ED group to be equally as strong as the Reg. D. people… just there are 15X more applicants in the reg. dec. group so it is harder to stand out.</p>
