<p>chances look really good for all the universities because theyre over 15% acceptance rate for all of them in 2012.</p>

4

<p>ECs are weak and not really amazing or focused. </p>

<p>Low reach on JHU and Cornell.</p>

5

<p>Well I will be applying Undeclared if that matters, and how can I bring focus to them?</p>

6

<p>Cornell: Low reach (high match if ED)
JHU: Low reach (high match if ED)
Tufts: Reach
Vanderbilt ED2: High match
Emory: Match
BU: Low match
GA Tech honors: Match/high match (depends on essay strength)
UGA honors: Low match</p>

<p>Catria what can I do to improve my chances? (Esp, at JHU)</p>

<p>What does your rank look like? If you are not in the top 10%, that hurts a lot for JHU and Cornell. </p>

<p>I assume you are junior. If so, you don’t really have much time left to focus your ECs. If you are a sophomore (I am assuming you are not a freshman, if you are, low matches on JHU and Cornell), then you can do a few things. First of all, identify subjects you like. You say that you want to make a career out of law, yet none of your ECs relate to it at all. In fact, why on earth did you do a internship at a hospital if you wanted to be a lawyer? Just to show colleges? Come up with a better answer. Your ECs look exactly as though you did them just to show colleges, “here, look, I’m doing some ECs”. See if you can fix that by doing stuff you actually <em>like</em>.</p>

<p>I remember the OP having PMed me with choosing between Cornell and JHU for pre-med, rather than pre-law.</p>

12

<p>yeah sorry, i meant pre-med, oops definitely not pre-law, big mistake on my part, my dad wants me to do law, so i wanted to see my chances but I want to do pre-med so chance me from that perspective? And Thank you for the suggestions, Catria is there anything i can do? and engarde (what weapon are you?) chance me from that perspective?</p>

13

<p>I tried to focus my ECs on med stuff, red cross founder, snhs, taken highest level of math and doubled up on sciences, lab research, summer internships, etc</p>

14

<p>Chance back?</p>

17

<p>Dkushner you have strong chances at all, I would recommend retaking the ACT if you wanted to do anything, best luck :)</p>

18

<p>The biggest issue I see is that nothing truly stands out about your ECs. Numbers wise you are good to go. Your best bet would be to apply ED to your top choice…</p>

19

<p>What can I do to improve that? I tried to show passion in medicine through doing lab work over the summer and starting a Red Cross club, while I know I don’t really have anything that emits a “wow” from my ECs, is there anything i can do to fix that? Also what chances would you say for JHU ED?</p>

20

<p>High match, and not really at this point. Your ECs feel more like you are doing them to have a strong resume then you love them/they feel typical. Typical is not a bad thing, it just doesn’t make you stand out in a sea of qualified applicants…</p>
