<p>Sports
- Freshmen year I did track but it ultimately took up too much time so I quit , still I really enjoyed the experience since it was my first time on sports team. It really helped me grow as a person
( I spend around 200 hours in practice and placed 1st in the freshmen country 200 m dash for girls)</p>

<p>Volunteer/Community service: so far around 120 hours in a hospital (worked as a transporter, volunteer in neuroscience, cardiac)</p>

<p>Clinal exposure/ shadowing a physician:
Not sure if this is legitimate, but I have spent around 100 hours shadowing a family friend in her clinic. She is a chinese medicine practioner, meaning she does things like acupuncture and herbal remedies</p>

<p>Essays: will be good hopefully... I am learning that I am quite bad at talking about myself</p>

<p>Teacher Recommendation: will be amazing, one from math teacher who is well known with ivies to be a tough teacher and one from my research teacher</p>

<p>Counselor Rec: probs good (she thinks I put to much pressure on my self and tries to exceed in too many areas, but overall we have a good relationship)</p>

<p>Additional Rec (Band director): will be great, he loves me</p>

<p>SERIOUS QUESTION: Should I ED for JHU, WashU, or Northwestern? I would love to go to any one of these schools and I'm scared that I will definitely get rejected if I don't ED...Also this might just be the rumor mill, but does Northwestern reject candidates that don't excepted into their 7 year program??</p>

<p>This is my guess: Northwestern undergrad admission and HPME admission review your credentials separately. </p>

<p>Based on past results, you can get admitted to NU but not HMPE; a HPME interview invite doesn’t mean you will be accepted by NU. In the past, some people were invited for the HPME interview but waitlisted/rejected by NU.</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback Sam Lee! So do you think I need to ED to get into NU?</p>

<p>Anyone else? Bump!</p>
