What are my chances of getting into Johns Hopkins Undergrad?

Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>I know that this is really early and this could lead to premature decisions but oh well…
When reading this, it would also be great if you could tell me how I could improve my chances easily, to “push me over the edge” (e.g. becoming a semifinalist in USABO)
Stats:
Graduation: Early Summer, 2014, no grades “skipped”
3.61 GPA, previous two years had pre-IB, honors, and AP classes, yielding a 4.1 weighted GPA (assuming Pre-IB classes as well as honors had only a 0.5 point bonus). Electives are not honors and thus tended to reduce my GPA even though I had A’s in them.
Junior Year: First semester–3.7 GPA–ALL IB classes
Other notable courses: Taking Calc AB junior year, will take “double-math” in senior year–Calc BC and Statistics; Taking double science sophmore (physics and chemistry) and for the rest of the time (Chemistry IB and Biology IB–Both had A’s Junior year [B’s for pre-IB chemistry in sophomore year)
SAT: (No subject tests)–750 M, 710 R, 700 W–2160 Composite–Not superscored–the scores were all from my first SAT test, and I haven’t taken it a second time yet.
“Commended Scholar” on PSAT (probable, based upon a score of 203)</p>

<p>JHU: Reach</p>

<p>What’s your backup plan?</p>

<p>Addendum: Also a member of the Joe Berg society
“Back up plan”–UF Honors if not enough financial aid is available
Bump
Also for future viewers: 4 on AP world, 5 on AP Euro, Probably a 4+ on both Calc AB and English Lang/Comp, Most likely a 5 on APUSH (Literally top of my class–most points overall including tests, mini-essays, and etc.)
Also by “Reach”, do you mean “within reach” or “out of reach”???</p>

4

<p>JHU is within reach… as long as you don’t want to go to JHU for anything biomedical.</p>

5

<p>Does anyone know if there’s a practical way to contact JHU itself to see admissions chances, considering extracurriculars as well as academic activity?</p>

6

<p>Bump
It would be nice to get some other responses with more detail, like whether or not my extracurriculars outweigh my below-average (for those accepted into JHU) GPA, rather than merely using something like collegedata.com or ■■■■■■■■■■ to evaluate my chances…
+some other information to help me “push over the edge” if needed</p>
