Chances -- all the cool kids are doing it :)

<p>Chance me RD at Wash U Pls?</p>

<p>GPA: 3.784 UW, 4.430 W (I have taken a very rigorous course load -- as indicated by my weighted GPA -- I have actually gotten 4 B's over my high school career, compared to 17 A's)</p>

<p>SAT: 730 M 740 CR 640W (Essay: 11)</p>

<p>SAT II:
Math IIC: 720
Chemistry: 710
*I go to an extremely competitive school
*we do not rank because of overly-competitive atmosphere</p>

<p>AP Scores

<p>EC
Freshman Summer-- Took classes at local community college
Sophomore Summer -- UPenn PreCollege Program
Junior Summer -- took a class at my state university/ Shadowed General Internist Hospital Specialist at Brigham and Womens Hospital (Harvard Med Teaching Affiliate )</p>

<p>***Also I am researching with a professor at Rutgers. We are trying to find a correlation between cortical asymmetry (depression) and hypertension/heart disease using a electroencephalogram and a pulse/blood pressure monitor. I think this is pretty unique</p>

<p>Model UN (10,11,12)
--Have attended numerous national conferences in Model UN and have won several Individual (national) Awards -- As many of you MUNers know, winning at large conferences is no easy feat
--My school's MUN team is the best MUN team in the state
-- Placed first several times at my High School's 'mock' model united nations conferences.</p>

<p>-I was lucky enough to receive a New Jersey Legislature Citation of Praise and Commendation for my Community Service</p>

<p>-I shadow General Internists every weekend at the Best Hospital in New Jersey (It's surprisingly difficult to get a team of doctors to let a high schoolers tag along with them on rounds)</p>

<p>200+ hours of volunteering at Nursing Home
National Math Honors Society (11,12)
National Spanish Honors Society (11,12)
JV Lacrosse (9,10)</p>

<p>Looks like a good shot to me. I'd give you like a 75/25. Good Luck!</p>

<p>thanks! anyone else?</p>

<p>i agree.....your application seems really strong....especially all those summer programs, internships, etc..</p>

<p>thanks for the confident boost!</p>

<p>I was really surprised to see that Wash U St Louis didnt have any supplements to the common app.</p>

<p>Don't be surprised; it increases their selectivity rating if more people apply (and more people do apply b/c there is no supplement).....</p>

<p>Probably Really Good Teacher Recommendations</p>

<p>Elisokool16, since you're new it's excusable -- but it is usually in poor taste to 'hijack' someone's chance thread (e.g. posting your own stats and asking for chances). Rather, a better idea would be to make your own thread in the forum.</p>

<p>No hard feelings!</p>

<p>The Individual</p>

<p>btw still taking chances for MY stats lol</p>

<p>o my bad, when you said anyone else, I thought you meant for other people to put their stuff up. I didn't have any bad intentions, sorry</p>

<p>haha, then it's my bad for being ambiguous. </p>

<p>No worries, and sorry for the confusion!</p>

<p>I'm an 08er and don't know where I'll get in yet, so I don't know how much my opinion is worth, but here goes! ;)</p>

<p>TheIndividual- your stats are pretty good but I think what will really help you is all the internships and the strong involvement in the Model UN. Sounds awesome!</p>

<p>Elisokool16- your stats are good but average-ish for WashU (b/c it is a top school! :) but you have done a lot of things connected to architecture. That proves you are really dedicated to your major, since you have already been involved in different work with it, which is often more important than basic statistics.
Also, I'm in the IB Diploma Program too, so I hope for both our sakes that they will understand how much work that is! Unfortunately, it is still not as recognized as AP but I think schools are beginning to realize how good of a program it is. What did you write your extended essay on? (Just curious :) ) </p>

<p>Good luck to you both! :)</p>

<p>Indiv - I would even go 80/20, but WUSTL is always a crap shoot. Good luck!</p>

<p>haha, thanks for the comments guys!</p>

<p>nervousness kicking in a bit -- sigh, 2 and a half months to go!</p>

<p>My goodness, of course you will get in. With all the extra research and interning you did you are nothing short of a shoe in.</p>

<p>Well, after I got deferred by UChicago -- I have seriously questioned my chances at pretty much everywhere. But thanks for the encouraging words!</p>

<p>shifted verbatim, my topic was "walt disney's vision and the extent of its fulfillment over the past half-century," -- it centers around walt's plan for the original epcot, the Experimental Prototype COmmunity of Tomorrow - - a futuristic city that would provide potential solutions to today's urban problems</p>

<p>Elisokool16- that sounds really interesting! I love hearing about people's extended essays, b/c they are all so different! I compared the use of narrator in Pride in Prejudice and a literary version of Beauty and the Beast- it was fun but I might shift my focus a little if I could do it over (not that I would want to write it again! ;)</p>

<p>Despite the fact that I don't love literature, your topic sounds incredibly interesting. I would definately read it. The thing with my topic is that I consider what I have put into it an accumulation of my life's knowledge on disney philosophy, vision, and parks. Mine is due this tuesday :(</p>

<p>You Guys Were Right, I Got In!!! Thanks So Much For Your Words Of Encouragement</p>
