Chance a delusional horrible at math girl for Stanford (JHU is my safety totally) [CA resident, 3.93 UW, 1570 superscore, Env Sci/Ecology]

Originally, I wasn’t going to post on this thread, but your thread title is so disturbing that I wanted to let you know why, in the hopes that you will change it so that it won’t negatively impact impressionable students going through a stressful process who come to this board.

Just reading your thread title, you had to have scored at least a 770 on the math portion of the SAT. According to the College Board, that is at the 99th percentile among nationally representative percentiles (source). If you are better than 99 out of 100 people in math and you are saying that you are horrible at math, that reads as incredibly insulting to the remaining 99%. If you want to know more on my rationale, this post has more info: [4.7 GPA/ Salutatorian] Chance minnesotan Junior with mid stats trying to move to a warmer state alright at coding for dream schools: UCB, GaTech, Stanford (prob not possible) [4.0 unweighted GPA, 34 ACT (36 super), <$80k] - #22 by AustenNut

Additionally, Johns Hopkins is not a safety for anyone, no matter how strong of an applicant they are, even when applying ED.
