<ul>
<li>as a part of a cocurricular prgm in my HS, i intern at the Mt Sinai School of Medicine in a human genetics research lab</li>
<li>in another prgm, i'm a "teaching intern," which is basically a teacher's assistant, for an underclassmen math class. i hold review sessions, offer 1-on-1 tutoring, grade exams, and teach occasionally</li>
</ul>

<p>so what do you think? do i have a reasonably good shot? your thoughts? other suggestions abt where to apply?

<p>NO CHANCE. j/k. I think you are a very strong candidate.
jhu: 60%
duke: 55%
Brown: 33%</p>

3

<p>You think Brown is more selective than Duke?</p>

4

<p>Yes i do, no question.</p>

5

<p>As a Brown applicant last year...</p>

6

<p>jhu: 45%
duke: 55%
Brown: 17%</p>

7

<p>Wow...I think the chances people are posting are too high...honestly...no offense</p>

<p>JHU: 20%
Duke: 10%
Brown: 10%</p>

8

<p>sr6622, i think you were too harsh actually. how about we cut you and the previous posters down the middle:</p>

<p>JHU: 30%
Duke: 25%
Brown: 20%</p>

9

<p>You guys are ultra conservative in your percentages... I give this guy a higher standing at JHU</p>

10

<p>sr266,
i dunno what you problem is...the person has a 4.0 uw, and 2100 plus on the SAT, Brown's acceptance rate is over 15% and you have this person at 10%. Either your uninformed or an idiot.</p>

11

<p>"Either your uninformed or an idiot."</p>

<p>Then I raise SR22's odds at Brown to 25%.</p>

12

<p>ok, what abt admission to JHU, with some merit aid? (i know the competition is fierce)</p>
