<p>because I'm interested in plme, would you recommend doing more medically related stuff?
by the way I am trying to see if I can shadow a doctor... but I don't have any leads yet</p>

<p>What is your class rank?</p>

3

<p>oh i should’ve mentioned that.
well first of all we only have like 68 people in my grade. and secondly our school doesn’t rank. but i would imagine that i’m in the top 10%…</p>

4

<p>all the great awards that you have are not your awards dont bother putting it in. like you said top 15 in state for debate but your in JV=nothing
dont bother putting JV stuff in your apps its just embarrassing…
level 7?! just make sure you finish the certificate of merit exam advanced…</p>

5

<p>^ oh yeah haha i’ll have some good varsity debate awards soon. i wasn’t actually going to put that on my app, i just put it for reference.
thanks though!</p>

<p>i dont really understand what you’re saying about the “level 7?!” thing. there are 10 levels. and I’ll most likely be certified up to level 8 before i apply.</p>

6

<p>well your gpa and extracurricular are good try to get an SAT of 2300 and you will get in on most of those schools.</p>
