<p>I know my extracurriculars aren't anything special since I don't have any leadership positions, and I know that my GPA is a bit low but I do have an upward trend. However, my SATs and APs are pretty good. So what are my chances for RD if I'm going to major in biology? what about BME?</p>

<p>you have good EC"s but why did you go from 5 AP's in 11th grade to 3 AP's? Did you exhaust all your school's AP courses? what were your scores anyways? If you didn't exhaust your courses, it might seem like you went hard junior year but decided to step down senior year.</p>

<p>I pretty much exhausted the APs. There still are AP Envi Sci and AP Art History, but I'm taking AP Bio this year and College Art. I'm also taking College Calc 2/3 since my school doesn't offer AP Calc BC. (My scores are listed in the first post)</p>

<p>So how likely is it that JHU will accept me RD?</p>
