<p>You’re probably right, Original. Science is my passion, but I had been considering a career in medicine for most of my time in high school, which is why I did the EMT thing. I don’t have any awards or anything like that. I guess Caltech will have to be my “reach” school. I applied to a bunch of summer programs, but only got into the Upenn one, which is not good. I have also applied to the Columbia Science Honors Program for next year, though. I’m pretty confident that I’ll get in, so hopefully that will help. I’ll have to consider retaking the SAT, I suppose. Oh, well. California’s really far away, anyway.</p>
