I'm REALLY passionate about science, so most of my EC and classes are science related.
also, I am really motivated and set high standards for myself.
I came to the U.S. five years ago without knowing any English and worked really hard to climb up to the level i am at right now.

so..what are my chances???

I think you have a good chance, maybe apply for Ivies also. But I'm not an admissions officer, so don't quote me on it. Good luck!

It is obvious that you have a good profile. If JHU is your first choice, apply ED, and you have a great shot. However, things become a little more unpredictable for regular decision. Either way, you have a good chance of getting in.

You look like the average applicant to Hopkins. Where does your interest lie beyond the sciences? What sort of accomplishments and skills can you bring to the Hopkins outside of academics? the biggest weakness I see is that you need to work on more leadership positions and become more active in extracurricular activities that does not purely add fluff to your resume.
