WOW. I would say your chances are extremely high. Good for you on working so hard, I hope good things come your way.



Of the three I would say Duke, but then again, that decision really depends on what your interested in.
ur a very good applicant to duke.. doesnt require so much to get in there. good luck!What are my chances of getting into UPenn, Johns Hopkins, and Duke?
I had a very very similar resume applying to colleges (2230 SAT, 4.55 GPA, Quiz Bowl etc.) but I was in the top percent of my class with a tough schedule. I did not get into Penn and I have a family alumna who attends. I would say you are a sure thing for Duke and Johns Hopkins, but Penn is tough. With a huge qualified applicant pool it can be a coin toss. Early decision triples your chances with Penn, and I think you have a great chance for the College or Engineering school. Wharton is a coin toss if you go early decision. Good Luck!
You have good chances. But do not do early decision; I did that when I was applying to Penn's Engineering School and completely regret it now. I should've left my choices open. I would really recommend just applying regular decision, since someone with your stats doesn't need to apply early! Good luck.What are my chances of getting into UPenn, Johns Hopkins, and Duke?
I think that you have a pretty good chance in all of them. Two of the people at my school got into UPenn. One is an African-American male (I don't know if that helps). He is the president of NHS and does tons of volunteering. However, I don't think that he did a lot other extracurricular activities except for maybe baseball and debate club. His GPA was a lot higher though. The other got all around 700s on her SATs but did tons of sports, valedictorian, hall of honor, Student Gov pres. and probably wrote a kick *** essay. Overall, I think that all those schools look for wellrounded students.
