<p>Haha, sounds exciting! How did that go? Anyway, what’s more important than what you get to do is what you actually take the initiative to do yourself with that opportunity (I’m not sure if that makes any sense). Also, make sure you somehow depict through the application what kind of a person you are, what might have motivated you to do the activities that you did, so that it’s not just a list of clubs but rather a more comprehensive picture of your personal qualities.</p>
<p>Haha, it was great! They let me stand right at the head of the bed because the immediate space right behind the head is generally unoccupied during heart surgery. I should mention that it’s no longer “currently” because it was a summer-specific thing. Too bad…</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice though, xrCalico23. After the whole application process, I will be happy if I stay real to myself the whole way through, even if that means rejection.</p>
<p>match to all. You have no worries about anything, its me that should be worried because I’m competing with you.</p>

<p>Haha, thanks.</p>
<p>Anyone other opinions, anyone?</p>
<p>You have great ambitions, but your 7 bumps make you seem too self-centered. It would be great if people on CC can stop bumping their own threads.</p>
<p>Also, watching an open-heart surgery or assisting with clinical trials do not count as “research”. Some of us actually did independent research and published papers on it.</p>
<p>Yale & Brown are reaches. The rest are matches.</p>
<p>You’re applying to a lot of science/med/bio related programs, but your ECs don’t show as strong of a focus in those areas. Great scores though, so I’m sure you’ll get in somewhere</p>
