hi, im new on this site, but it looks like a great way to get info!
im applying to hopkins as ED, any ideas on my chances?

SAT I (may 05) 720m, 680cr, 660writing
SATI (oct 05) 740 m, 660 cr, 720 writing
highest compositie: 2140
SAT II’s: 680 math iic, 660 physics (yea…not that high)

really really competitive high school, top 30%, no rank, gpa is 3.9
5 ap’s by graduation: stat, econ (micro and macro), psych, lang, and calc
(not that many cuz my school has like qualifying tests for ap’s, so its kinda hard to get in in the first place) but all other classes are accelerated/honors

ummmm black belt at karate, won some tournaments
piano for 12 years, won lots of competitions, played in charnegie hall and steinway hall, accompanist for every music club/chorus possible, won some talent shows in high school
hospital internship
various jobs, usually involve teaching karate
some other school activities: key club, modern issues, french mag, etc.

o yea, came to america when i was 10, dunno if that makes any diff
and my dad went to nanjing university, which is like the sister college of hopkins in china, dunno if that counts either…and if it does, my grandpa has been teaching there too, for like 35 years.
o, and i have a rec from my piano teacher who’s alumni at peabody

ok thats bout it, if anyone has any ideas, please lemme know, greatly appreciated, thanx!!
