<p>Your stats are very good . . . you're aiming for MD combined degreee programs, and one of the things they like are research experience and medically related ECs, which you have. I'd say your chances are great especially for HPME. What's the GPA out of?</p>
<p>P.S. We also have a multiple degree program forum where you'd get a lot more replies.</p>
<p>Holy crap me and you are like the same person. I have taken/ am taking like the same exact coarses. and like the same SAT /ACT, and almost the same gpa . and play piano except me for only 10 years but I'm a junior. I run track too.lol I go to south carolina gov school for sci. and math.</p>
<p>I have a question for you though, I'm doing research this summer , which will be the summer between junior and senior year. Is there any chance that I would be able to put intel or siemens semifinalist on my application on time? and could i send it in, maybe in like february to college if I did happen to make one of those?</p>
<p>Siemens semifinalists are announced in late Oct. - early Nov. Intel semis are announced mid-Jan. </p>
<p>I have also heard from parents of previous semifinalists (for the really big awards like these) that colleges also get a list of winners right around the announcement date. You can always send a update to your colleges if things happen after the deadline. This is what I would recommend so you can be siure the info makes it to your file.</p>
<p>By the way, how much time does it take to prepare a good presentation? If I do research, 6 weeks in the summer, can I make the deadline for Siemens or Intel?</p>
<p>Don't get me wrong, you have excellent stats. The one blemish is your g.p.a. Now, I know you go to IMSA, and while that does help, I still think a school like Stanford considers a 3.75 to be toward the low end. ANd, you've only taken 2 APs, which will not reflect well considering where you go. They might think you're slacking or not taking advantage of what IMSA offers. Also, I'm assumming you're taiwanese? I'm chinese, so I know (and hate) having to say this, but your SAT , piano extracurricular, if you haven't won a national competition, then it really doesn't set you apart from everyone else. There will be hundreds of other asians with the same depth of extra curriculars.</p>
<p>But... you still have an excellent shot bc. of research. I wish you the best of luck!</p>
<p>also, all my classes are classified as "AP." I only took 2 Ap tests last year and could take a few this year, but i dont think its necessary. right?</p>
