Chance me?? UPenn male for nursing?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Could you chance (I'll chance back!) me at:
- Duke (early decision)
- UPenn (only school I would go for nursing)
- Harvard
- Brown
- UVA
- UNC
- Wake Forest
- College of William and Mary
- Boston College</p>

<p>I go to an independent (both public and private, weird, I know) school.
I have a 3.94 unweighted GPA (4.23 weighted) and I am <em>10 of 550</em> (top 2%) in my class. I got a 32 on my ACT's and I am waiting for the June scores to come back. I have not taken the SAT. Highest honors all semesters. My recommendations will come from my AP US History teacher and my independent study advisor (also advisor for Young Voters Society, see below). Both have written me recs before and they have been superb.</p>

<p>Took most rigorous course load possible at my school freshman-junior year...
Senior year classes will be:
- AP Calc AB
- AP English Lit
- AP Biology
- AP Economics
- Physics
- Political Science Independent Study</p>

<p>EC's
- Volunteer at a Cancer Foundation (since 9th grade ~ 400 hrs)
- FCCLA (9th grade)
- School Volunteer Organization (since ninth grade)
- Student Council (9th grade)
- Latin Club (11th grade)
- Class Vice President (since 10th grade)
- Young Voters Society (since 9th grade), President this year + next year
- Athletic Training Intern (unpaid, Junior + Senior year, 30 hrs./week/30 weeks)
- Lacrosse (since 9th grade)
- Unified Sports (since 9th grade), captain this year + next year
- National Honors Society
- National Science Honor Society
- Work for a US Senatorial Campaign this summer
- Worked at a private oncology office last summer in medical records</p>

<p>Hiring a profession to help with my essays. I read just some of the samples he gave me and they all gave me goosebumps. He even showed me an essay that he ended up not sending because he didn't think it was good enough and I still thought it was amazing... So... my essay should be fantastic in addition to my credentials above.</p>

<p>It’s good to see men interested in nursing. I was thinking about nursing years ago :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Okay to start, you need SAT Subject Tests. UPenn’s Nursing program strongly recommend you take the SAT Chemistry test and one other, (preferably another science) because they require two and it’s good to have AP Chemistry under your belt also. In order to even step onto the campus, you NEED to have a high SAT score like 2100+ University of Pennsylvania is VERY selective, so make sure you stand out, not only with your EC’s (which are stellar by the way) but with your grades and test scores. Yeah, it’s good to have TONS of EC’s, but don’t try to rely solely on them. You should check out the UPenn website for their nursing program and at undergraduate admissions (I’m assuming you haven’t). I’m not going in depth about the other school because you seem more interested in UPenn, but all of this explained above goes to the Ivies you have listed. I think you have an easy chance at Wake Forest though so you should be fine there. UNC and UVA is also really hard to get into, which I think you have a chance at too if you get a score of 2000+</p>

<p>Everything looks great from my point of view. I’m pretty sure you have a good chance at getting into every school except maybe Harvard. The only reason I’m saying that is because that 32 is great, but might be a little low for Harvard standards. Also, you do need those SAT Subject Tests and as the person above me said, go for Chemistry and Math II if you can. Also, you might want to take that SAT just to see if you can maybe do even better on that than the ACT.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Fair chance at everything except Duke, Brown and Harvard.</p>
