<p>I Know it is still a bit vague...but What do you guys think...I am writing my SAT in May and my SAT II in Early October Next year (Bio, Math, Chem/Physics)....Any suggestions on where improvements are needed</p>

<p>Final Comment: Not the brightest student but I do put in the effort and I really do care about other people's feelings before my own</p>

<p>Also here are other universities I am looking into: Cambridge, McGill, Yale, Princeton, Antigua, Queen's, McMaster</p>

<p>If you guys can recommend other Universities/Colleges that have a really good Health Science program that will be appreciated</p>

<p>Extra Info (which i forgot to add lol) which makes me determined to get into Harvard: People have always put me down saying that I won’t get far and have never seen me as a bright student…I truly want to prove to myself and other people that if I have a dream I can achieve it… even if it is a dream like getting in Harvard… Also my reasoning to into Health Science is: My mother had an brain aneurysm and my father had 2 heart attacks…hopefully if i do get into Harvard…this will let me get into a good med school and hopefully allow me to become a cardiologist. I truly thank all the doctors who have allowed my parents to be with me today.</p>

<p>QUESTION: Does Harvard look at all marks for students applying from canada? (from gr 9 -12) (this question also applies to all the universities stated above)</p>

<p>in gr 9 someone stole my wallet and i tried to get it back and i got in trouble for trying to get my wallet it back (I didnt not hit the guy nor did i touch him i was just grabbing on to my wallet) but the teacher reported me and him to principal and i got a 1 period detention</p>

<p>Famous question from many interviews: what do you spend most of your time doing?</p>

4

<p>Well for me I am usually doing one of four things:</p>

<p>Hanging out with friends/family (mostly family…im just a really family-oriented person)
Reading (Usually im just re-reading the book the secret)
Playing Cricket (best sport btw)
Playing Computer Games</p>

<p>But since school is currently in session replace Computer Games with Studying</p>

<p>I made a typo when talling about my high school it is the best in the city not canada</p>
