Yes, that type of G.P.A. combined with extracurriculars would make any school want you. Although, you didn't put up your ACT and SAT scores, because those do factor in. But overall, you have pretty much what every college wants. Frankly, you even have a chance of going somewhere like Harvard, the most selective school out there.

Oh by the way, how do you have a 5.4 unweighted G.P.A. I think that's impossible because an AP class is only worth 5 points?

Your statistics look good.

The only way you'll ever find out is to apply.

Apply to both and see what they have to offer you in terms of what you are striving for.

When applying please get the names correctly:

Duke University School of Medicine

Johns (John with an s=Johns) Hopkins School of Medicine



Good Luck.

I am very sure you would. With your volunteer work you will probably get scholarships. Remember t you can also use volunteer work as a reference for work on a job application too.

Did you honestly need to ask us?



Haha, yeah probably. It also depends on where you live, and how well laid out your application is.



You could get into much better schools then those.
