<p>Im also applying to Haaaaavad , stanford and Princeton (Azn trio, so typical), but I doubt my chances considering my GPA is low and my SAT’s are not so hot. chance me if you want though. Also on the list is Emory. I’m really shooting for hopkins though, stellar place</p>

<p>I dunno, I’m hoping that my upward trend (3.92 in Junior year which is, as most will agree the most difficult) counts for something, as well as my decent SAT II’s, Legacy and Research</p>

<p>Thanks! Godspeed to all seniors</p>

<p>I’d say you are in at hopkins considering your performance at ISEF. I would also say you have not a bad chance at any of the colleges you mentioned although your SAT, GPA might pull you down.</p>

<p>thanks, buuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmp</p>

<p>one final bump. I have heard from many that despite the impressive achievment of ISEF, I still stand no chance because my app will just not be reiewed because the numbers are not in the range.</p>
