Strengths: ACT, GPA, essays, demonstrated interest (have visited campus and corresponded with local admissions officer)
Weaknesses: unsure about recommendations, come from a very competitive school/area so it’s very difficult to stand out

Nothing outstanding. If you can write about your internships and volunteer work, you might have a shot

3

Sorry–for clarification, my common app was about my experience with dying patients, both as a volunteer and in my personal life. My supplement was about my internships and hands on experience in the lab and in the hospital

Pre-med is not a major in itself-you can pretty much declare any major and be pre-med as long as you take the appropriate classes.

Possibly low reach. Numbers are there and course load is sufficiently rigorous. Have you visited the campus yet?

Any AP scores?

5

All 4’s and 5’s for AP’s, and I have visited campus

6

Low reach then. Did you have an interview during your visit?

7

Yup, I felt like the interview went really well
