<p>Decent essays, wont make me stand out, but wont fail me... mostly about how much I love math/science and how I want to be a doctor and actually have real life experience similar to the medicine field through EMT</p>

<p>Going Pre-Med (molecular biology/biochem major)</p>

<p>Thanks for chancing me</p>

<p>You have very good chances (greater than 90 percent chance).</p>

<p>Wonderful record! I wish you the best though I doubt anyone can reliably say that anyone other than a recruited athlete has a 90% chance to get in.</p>

<p>What seems certain is that whether Yale or some other highly selective school, you’re well on your way to a good college experience.</p>

<p>silverturtle…I’ve seen this pretty often and I wonder how you calculate stuff like 40% or 90% ??</p>

<p>^ I second Chocolate Curl’s question. :)</p>

<p>You can’t really give numerical chances, but it is highly likely that you will be accepted at one or more highly selective colleges. You should still apply to a range of schools, including some safeties, but I think it would be quite reasonable for you to apply to EA to Yale if you want to.</p>

<p>I agree with silverturtle and Hunt, I think the OP’s chances of being admitted to Yale and other highly selective schools are highly likely.</p>

<p>He’s a URM with great grades, great test scores, and great EC’s. 'nuff said.</p>

<p>“I’ve seen this pretty often and I wonder how you calculate stuff like 40% or 90% ??”</p>

<p>You’d be mistaken to construe a quantity as necessarily scientific; I merely base it off of my familiarity with previous results’ similarities to the applicant I’m chancing.</p>

<p>just a random question but how old are you, OP? I ask bc I’m taking a EMT-B class right now but in my state (NY) you can only start the course if you’ll be 18 by the time you take the state exam in June. You’re lucky that you can work as a EMT now haha</p>

<p>Thanks for the opinions guys, I dont believe I have a 90% chance haha but Im glad that you guys feel like I have a legitimate chance.</p>

<p>And for the EMT, Im 17, but Im in a unique all-volunteer organization thats one of the top in the state. You can actually join where youre 16 (i joined when i just turned 17 so I had my license) and until you get your EMT-b, you work as a probational member, aka “probie.” As a probie, youre not supposed to do EMT things only like strecher things, but I have routinely take care of O2, take vitals, have wrapped bandages over wounds, and even performed CPR. I just took the state exam a few weeks ago, I should be officially licensed this week, and then I’m a probationary EMT until Im 18. However as a probationary EMT you have very few limits, such as delivering a baby driving the ambulance (unfortunately, driving seems awesome).
Good luck on your career as an EMT once you become licensed though!</p>
