<p>I had a medical condition + my grandpa who had been living w/ us died of heart failure (even with the pacemaker still beating :( ) in the first semester of this year which meant a lot of absences and low grades. I had to drop out of AP Physics C E&M to Honors. It as living hell, no joke. But, my second semester grades are looking hot. (Straight As except a freaking A- in Spanish 4. bleh.)</p>

Thinking of applying to Intel next year.
Can't think of any more.</p>

<p>As you can tell, I'm into sciences. I know I pretty much want to be a surgeon, so I'm looking into dual med programs like Penn State's program, Union's LIM, Washington in DC or even Northwestern's HPME/Brown's PLME (which is impossible, so I can only hope and dream). Also going to try Duke, NYU, and Cornell. Not applying to Harvard/Yale (pretty much know I'm going to get flat out rejected so why waste application money).</p>

<p>Background:
-Asian
-West Coast, which I want to get away from.
-Need financial aid
-I worked really, really, really, really hard.</p>
