<p>Hmm…not bad. But what’ll hurt you are those (lack of amazing) ECs and the fact that you’re an Asian male who wants to study science with no hooks.</p>

<p>I believe you will have a decent chance at the schools you listed, but they’re always toss ups. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>Yeah gotta step up those EC’s…Thanks for the reply!</p>

<p>Can someone else chance me please?</p>

<p>I don’t think the ECs are that lack luster at all. The NIH internship is very competitive. Also, you have clear passion for tennis and musicz they are not mind blowing. But they aren’t bad at all. Just reflect your love for them in the app. Really, don’t go out of your way to make them better, unless it is in natural pursuit of these ones that you already have and are passionate about. They are solid. </p>

<p>Maybe you can give some advice to me. It’s not necessary but if you want:

<p>Um, I hope you have some match schools and some safeties (admissions safeties and financial ones). Being statistically qualified is somewhat meaningless with schools that mostly admit fewer than ten percent of applicants. Even with excellent scores, your chances of admission to those schools – ALL of them – is statistically low because of the truly competitive nature of admissions to each and every one of these schools. These schools are ALL extremely high reaches for you because they are for every single other applicant. So, I hope you have back-ups.</p>

<p>Yeah I’ve got a few back ups on my list. Thanks for the replies!</p>
