<p>hey I'm an indian male from a competitive NJ school and i need some help with figuring out where i should apply

satIIs. Chem 750, taking Bio and Math IIC this year
APs: taking 3 this year. will take 6 next year
passion: biology and ill probably major in it too</p>

oTop 500 biology students in America

<p>Research Experience
•worked at a research institute full time thru 10th summer and will work there 11th summer, and 12th summer. Research will lead to a publication with me listed as a co-author. Mentor considers this graduate level research...i guess thats a plus (problem is the paper might not be out in time for college app season...can i still put this on the app?)
•research as part of rutgers program during sophomore year</p>
<p>Clubs:
•Future Physicians of America Club treasurer (11th), hopefully president in 12th
•Latin Honors Society- VP (12th)
•Newspaper-news/sports editor (12th)

•NHS- haha but who isnt in this anyway?</p>
<p>recs should b good+ extra rec from research mentors, and so should essays</p>
<p>okay that seems like most of it.
