<p>I already got an interview at Harvard. I plan to be a Cardio Vascular Surgeon and perhaps go into politics. I know my grades are low. Not even close to my potential. I also got accepted into an honors selective medical program this year. Only 18 of 60 applicants get in. Instead of a regular senior year, do rotations in a local hospital and take classes like medical terminology, anatomy, physiology, college english, health economics, and law. I then go back to my home school at the end of the day to take AP Chem.
Additional Details
Btw for almost every single one of the ECs listed, I have been involved for 4 years. So i have been committed to these for a while. I am aware that Harvard gives interviews to everyone, but I am specifying that I did indeed apply there and fro many schools of the likes of Harvard. When I say what are my chances, I mean what are your personal opinions as to the likeliness of my acceptance to the institution. As in good chance, reach, un;likely, ur in, safety… those types of answers. Obviously there is no template for the perfect JHU student.</p>

<p>Please answer. I’ll chance back</p>

<p>I saw your most recent post and you said you have a 93 GPA which is NOT a 4.0. It doesn’t work like that. You said you have a 3.7, so that’s a 3.7. I’m not trying to be mean, but that’s a big difference. That matters a lot.</p>

4

<p>thanks papertowns57. Actually if you check the college board website and almost any other resource for GPA conversion a 93 is indeed considered to be a 4.0. Of course it is at the low end of the scale.</p>

5

<p>Your SAT is mildly low, but your EC’s really stand out. Also, I believe almost all applicants are invited for Harvard interviews, too. Good luck.</p>

6

<p>Yeah but your transcript will have what is given to you by your school. The colleges will see what is on your transcript, not what the college board website thinks</p>

7

<p>True, but the average SAT is above 2000. I know it’s hard to hear, but take it from a guy who made an 1820 and has hardly any EC’s. Your EC’s are great, so if you have the best essays you have ever seen, you should, actually, stand a good chance.</p>

<p>Thanks potatoman90, also yeah ik harvard does. It’s in my original statement. And yes papertown57, the transcript given to me by my school is a 93. My school, just like college board and almost every other conversion chart, considers it to be a 4.0.</p>

<p>I’d say its a low reach. Did you take any subject tests? It would be worth mentioning those. Any way, its great that you have taken classes related to medicine. The rec from a state senator is really cool too. If only SAT was a little higher, but I think you definitely have a decent shot and really can make it in. Thanks for chancing me by the way :)</p>
