<p>I'm planning on majoring in Bio and going to Med School. My main concern in my GPA. I developed Chron's disease at the beginning of Sophomore year and an auto immune blood disease soon afterwards and have been dealing with those since then with regular absences from school and trips to the ER. However, this is the reason for my interest in pre med and since then I've amassed my volunteer hours at the hospital and shadowed the physician. I plan to write about this and my struggles in my essays. Any opinions on my chances would be great, thanks.</p>

<p>Your GPA is a bit low, unfortunately, for Georgetown or NYU, but I wouldn’t completely rule them out because of your unusual circumstance. Your SAT score, of course, looks great, as do your SAT II scores and your extracurriculars.</p>

<p>Though I wish your extracurriculars were a bit more focused.</p>

<p>You’ll probably get into SUNY Binghamton (in state?) and you have a good chance at Drexel and Northeastern. You’ll also have a good chance at BU. As for the others (especially BC and Georgetown), your gpa is a little low, but you have a shot at all of them. Good luck!</p>

<p>Honestly, due to your unique situation I think you have a great shot at all those schools. </p>

<p>oh gosh, if you elucidate on your time with Crohn’s disease and write a really passionate essay, I’m sure you can get into any of these schools! but what are your classes like?</p>

6

<p>Basically safety: Northeastern, Drexel, Loyola Maryland, and SUNY Binghamton.
Low match: BU and BC
Match: NYU and Tufts
Georgetown is a bit hard to tell, it palatially depends on how they account for your medical circumstances, but either way you have a good shot. Also, if you’re recruited for soccer then your odds increase quite a good bit.</p>

<p>You’ll probably get in at all your schools. Your GPA is low but your unique situation will probably cover for that. The only school that is a “reach” is Georgetown, but it is a reach for pretty much everyone. Good luck!</p>

<p>I understand the low GPA, but your situation is no joke (one of my relatives has Crohn’s as well so I can sort of relate). I whole-heartedly believe if you write a killer essay regarding your predicament and how you still strive for excellence and have made efforts to overcome your setback, you can get in to anywhere on that list. I wish you the best of luck! Also, if your class schedule is rigorous (meaning you take APs and honors courses or w/e your school offers), that could compensate for the GPA too.

<p>Thanks for all the comments guys. I’ll start getting to repay the chances now. Just an update for anyone else if it changes anything, all of my classes are AP level/higher and I won’t be recruited for soccer.</p>

<p>You’re GPA is a little slacking but your SAT is great. SAT II arn’t bad. I think that you are all set for basically the majority of schools. NYU and Tufts are definitely at your level if not you exceed them. Georgetown and BC are pretty hard but you have a decent shot at them. I’m in the same situation except I think I’m heading in the different major direction. My math and science grades and test scores are basically where I feel very comfortable in understanding concepts and figuring out problems.

<p>Thanks for chancing me! Although you have a slightly below average GPA for these schools, but given how unique your situation is, I don’t think that will make much of a difference. You have a great shot at these schools given your situation. Good luck and be proud of what you have accomplished in high school!</p>

<p>your EC’s are fine to whoever said that. and several of my friends have chron’s… none of them mentioned it in their essays to my knowledge but it sounds like you have a good idea. Gtown, NYU, BC, and Tufts are the only school’s i’d be unsure about you gaining admission into. for the rest of your schools, i’d be shocked if you got rejected from any of them. due to your scores and demonstrated interest in your anticipated field, i feel like you have a good chance of gaining admission into at least one of the four exclusive schools aforementioned.

<p>Your gpa is on the low side, but you have great SAT scores. BU, Loyola, Drexel and SUNY should be matches. NYU, BC, Tufts, and Northwestern low reaches.</p>

14

<p>Georgetown- Low reach… your gpa is kinda low…
NYU- match
BC- Low reach
Northeastern- match
SUNY Binghamton- if instate, low match</p>

15

<p>BU, NYU, Tufts and Georgetown are your only reaches - if you apply early they’d easily be matches though. You have a really good chance everywhere with a good essay about your unfortunate circumstances. Best of luck :)</p>
