<p>Hi </p>
<p>I'm looking at </p>
<p>FSU (first choice), UCF, UF would be great</p>
<p>University of Miami or Emory would be astounding </p>
<p>Not sure where I'd have a shot at to be quite honest. open to all suggestions. If you could review my stats and give me some feedback I'll really appreciate it.</p>
<p>Currently in between 11th and 12th grade</p>
<p>Grades (my weakness): </p>
<p>I'm not entirely sure about my GPA because there was an issue with some of my courses not be entered properly into the grading system. My weighted GPA sits around a 3.0. I have only taken AP, Honors, and Pre-IB Honors classes with the exception of Art and PE so far. </p>
<p>I've taken 3 courses online to erase & replace previous failed grades. I've received As on all of these. AP Biology, Pre-Calc Honors, Chemistry Honors </p>
<p>I've taken extra online classes to boost my GPA and I've gotten As. AP Micro-Econ, English IV Honors, currently AP Psychology </p>
<p>9th grade - C average
10th grade - B average
11th grade - A/B average
Summer between 11th and 12 grade: Online classes to boost GPA - all A
12th grade- hopefully A average :) </p>
<p>Test scores: </p>
<p>2200/2400 on the SAT, first try in May 2014. Will likely retake in the Fall and aim for a 2300
Haven't taken the ACT yet but I'm sure I'll get above a 30.
My last post says "2020 retaking in May" but that was referring to a practice SAT exam, not the real thing</p>

<p>I have to stress, none of these are worth anything. I showed up to a few of the meetings, went to a couple competitions, didn't win anything or get recognized or hold a position or anything special. </p>
<p>Volunteering/Interning:</p>
<p>At a major hospital - Few hundred hours, not sure, will have to check. Worked in Endoscopy, Intensive Care Unit, Surgery, and Internal Medicine. Shadowed doctors, did office work, observed surgeries, transported patients, and lots of miscellaneous hospital stuff. Given the special task of creating the orientation presentation and packets. Working in Internal Med was also a special task sort of situation. </p>
<p>At a public research university - Public health research. Helping out in the clinic, with research, helping with article and grant writing, observing college public health & pharmacy classes, shadowing professors and academic/research physicians. It is a goal of mine to publish an article this summer. </p>
<p>At a private medical practice - I'll start this in the Fall. A few weekends per month I'll be interning at this private practice, observing and helping the physicians and administration </p>
<p>At a school clinic - Did a summer volunteering at an elementary school clinic in a rural region</p>
<p>Will definitely try assist my dad in pro-bono medical help of underprivileged rural inhabitants in a third-world country sometime before the end of this year, not so sure about it though.</p>
<p>Jobs:</p>
<p>No jobs so far, although I'm considering a small job at a hospital this fall/winter offered by my parents' friend</p>
<p>Editing work for a scriptwriter for a film</p>
<p>SAT Tutoring </p>
<p>Misc:
17 yr. old male</p>
<p>I can discuss my steady improvement over the years, the rigor of my course-load (only AP/Honors/Pre-IB), my drive to improve myself (taking loads of extra classes over the summer), my high test scores, my interning and volunteering in the field of my interest (medicine & public health). Looking into doing pre-med. I come from a good background (both parents are doctors, both have MD, MPH, PhD; dad went to Harvard)</p>
<p>Thanks everyone</p>
