<p>Involved in one math and science club</p>

<p>I would love any advice and would even like some recommendations for schools</p>

<p>I waslso president of a club only in 9th grade</p>

<p>Come on people! anybody that can help me?</p>

<p>btw if you need any more info about EC’s i would be happy to provide it, sorry for asking since I am a junior, but I want to prepare for this as soon as possible if I have a chance of getting in. Thanks!</p>

<p>I’d say that your EC’s are pretty cookie cut for the Ivies. I would expect Princeton to be a reach. I’m not sure if the specific program is different as opposed to regular admissions, but if it isn’t, you should most likely get into those other 3. This is assuming your test scores are good.</p>

<p>Brooklyn- not familiar with
Drexyl- not familiar with
Princeton- reach
Albany- match</p>

<p>Your extensive volunteering at the hospital plus research should help your app, but you could also use these as essay topics (if applicable). Elaborate on why you did these activities and how you grow as a person, etc.</p>

<p>drexyl wat</p>

<p>Safeties at Brooklyn and Drexel, low match at Albany, High Reach for Princeton. Grades sorta low and test score way too low.</p>

<p>Alright thanks, but I just had one question, if anyone could tell me if I am possible to get into the bs/md programs with my gpa (I plan to get a higher sat score). I know especially for drexyl, albany, and brooklyn, getting into the premed wont be as hard as the programs, but I still am not sure HOW much harder it is </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Oh I also tried calculating my gpa from online and they said anything from a 94 to a 95
unweighted was like a 3.9? could somebody reaffirm that? my weighted is somewhere in the 98’s but I don’t think the more competitive schools will look at that, but rather look at my unweighted and look at how hard my classes are </p>

<p>(I have taken ever advanced and ap course my school offers so far except for the ones I mentioned I am taking next year and I did not take ap euro history, I am also not planning to take AP Psych or any AP Art/Tech/Economics)</p>

<p>Also, In addition to the AP’s I listed, I forgot to mention I am taking AP Calculus as well next year</p>

<p>Also can anyone tell me if I calculated my GPA correctly? I have only had one B (an 87) and that was back in 9th grade. I have tried looking around and some sites say it is 3.9, almost 4.0, and others say it is 4.0. </p>

<p>If you don’t know anything about the BS/MD or BA/MD programs, could you do some research and see if i have a chance? or tell me if it is reasonable to apply to such competitive programs?</p>

<p>What I would focus on now is raising your SAT scores or trying the ACT. See which one you score better on. Try to get above 2000 or above a 30. All your other stats make you a fair candidate. Best of luck!</p>

<p>You might wanna start spelling Drexel right. At the moment, it seems Princeton would be a high reach. </p>

<p>Your grades are good, but without actual scores, it doesn’t make sense to chance you.</p>

<p>alright thanks, I will definitely strive for 2200+, I would also like some feedback on my EC’s too, thanks</p>

<p>I think you should take AP Psychology. It really helps and it’s tons of fun. As for your scores, you should get as high as you can. Aim for a 2400. I believe in you.</p>

<p>And definitely take the arts. You want to enjoy high school for what it actually is (even get yourself a nice bf/gf while youre at it). Don’t go sucking up to teachers just to get good grades. I know way too many people who do that. Actually put in the effort to get high grades along with challenging courses. Don’t just go for the easy classes. Good Luck. You can do it. <3</p>

<p>thanks guys, ill be sure to make a new chances thing when I actually get to do the tests, or ill just update this one, again, thanks!</p>

<p>no problem man, we got you. Don’t forget to work hard :D</p>
