For anything other than Premed/sciences, I would bet you are in. For premed track.....and I would suspect you are...um. For Biomedical Engineering or what ever that program is that gives you a pass for ED denial, nope.

Hopkins = reach ( 10- 33%) ED given relative low class rank (3rd decile weighted) and ACT scores.

Your GPA and ACT are on the low side, but you definitely have ECs in your favor. If you can get your ACT >32, I'd say your chances get much better. It could go either way, but raising your test scores will only help your chances. Best of luck

Chance a junior for Top 20 (will chance back)

ECs are really strong especially for Hopkins. But your ranking is a bit low. Dunno if it's because the school you go to is competitive or something else. You need a higher ACT score 30+.

I'd say Hopkins is a reach right now (30-40%) but with a higher ACT score it'll be 50%. Thanks for chancing me good luck

Most universities I've seen don't take in account your AP scores in admissions. Your EC is good, ACT fine, GPA on the lower end but I think you are a medium reach just conquer ur essays
