I’m really interested in JHU’s undergraduate engineering program, hopefully somebody can give me an estimate for admissions. Any help is appreciated. I’m applying from out of state, I’m a senior now.

New SAT: 1490 total, 720 English / 770 Math (no writing)
ACT: 34 composite, 34 English/33 Math/34 Reading/34 Science/30 Writing
SAT Subject Tests: 690 Chemistry, 760 Math Level 2, 640 US history (probably not submitting this one)
AP Scores: 4 Chemistry, 3 Calculus AB (not too happy about this one idk if i’ll submit or if I have a choice to submit or not), 5 US History

UW GPA: 3.607
Classes: Many honors/AP classes over the years, including
Humanities (H), Bio (H), Algebra (H), Analysis/Precalc (H), Chem (H), French (H), US history (AP), Calc AB (AP), Chem (AP), French (H) different course though, English (H), Gov (AP), Statistics (AP), French (AP), Physics (AP), English (AP). In all my other classes (freshmen/sophomore year + electives) I get As and A-s, in the harder honors and APs I get anywhere between a B and an A- usually. Never received a final grade in any class lower than a B. My school does not weight gpa for AP or honors classes.

Activites/Honors:
Boy Scouts (senior patrol leader, eagle scout, eagle project)
National Honor Society (tutoring)
Debate club (secretary), awards from that
National merit semifinalist
Engineering club outside of school
Volunteered on two political campaigns, one local one state
A few miscellaneous latin and science awards (I took latin for a year but it wasnt honors so I didnt list it above)
Tennis (team & recreational)
Part time job at local store

I also have a very good (humblebrag) essay that highlights my interest in aerospace and engineering.

In conclusion yeah my GPA is a bit too low but I think my scores are competitive enough. Do my ECs make up for it? What should I emphasize in my supplemental essays? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
