<p>I really want to apply to JHU ED, but I don't know if it's a good idea or not. I still haven't taken my subject tests yet and my SAT score is very low for JHU. Should I take my subject tests in October and apply Early Decision for JHU or should I use October and November to take the ACT, SAT, and subject tests and just do regular decision?</p>

<p>Do I have a good chance in getting in ED with the statistics above?</p>

<p>What should I do?</p>

<p>Thank you,

<p>I think you have a good chance. I would try to retake the SAT before the deadline. Another score won’t hurt you. Improvement is always good to see. You have strong ECs and a unique background. I would try to nail the essays. You have as good as a shot as anybody. </p>
