<p>I'm currently a Sophomore in Arizona, and extremely interested in attending Washington University. I know I want to do Pre-med in college and major in one of the sciences. (Not Biology) (I love Chemistry). So I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on how to improve my chances. Here is my info: (sorry for typos I wrote this on my phone)</p>

<p>GPA: I'm not sure how to calculate this, but right now I believe
I have a 3.7ish? I will work hard to make sure I have 4.0 for the rest of high school. That should bring me
up to a 3.9? I already have a upward trend for this year.*</p>
<p>Extra Curriculars:*
FIRST Robotics- I joined my sophomore year and we will be attending world championships in St. Louis this year. Our team has won*
chairmans and engineering awards. We have a high chance of going to worlds in the next two years as well. *</p>
<p>HOBY Leadership Camp: I was chosen by my school to attend this summer. I've heard it is very impressive.*</p>
<p>Community Service: On my robotics team we work hundreds of hours in our community promoting STEM. I work at our robotics summer camp for middle schoolers in the summer.*
I will also be in NHS the next 2 years.*
*
( I will also hopefully be attending a medical camp at the University of Arizona this summer)*</p>
<p>Awards: 2nd place Hispanic History Essay Competition. ( I'm not sure of winning Chairmans with my Robotics team counts?)</p>
<p>** I feel like I need to show more interest towards medicine, but I live in a medium sized city in AZ,with not that many opportunities. You have to be 18 to volunteer in the hospital, if you want to work outside the giftshop.*
I was considering contacting some local private doctors to ask if I could help them in their practice during the summer. ( good idea?)*</p>
<p>SAT/ACT: I haven't even taken the PSAT, so I'm not sure how well I will do. I think I will at the very least recieve a 1800-1900. But I will aim for the 2000's.*</p>
<p>Any input would be great thanks for your time! :)*</p>
