<p>Biomed engineer... JHU lol
But I do like your chances at basically all of your schools (because your stats arent average)</p>

<p>dont bother not worth ink</p>

4

<p>i hope thats sarcastic right?</p>

5

<p>uholy_ender,

<p>i think that if you write great essays, you'll get into at least 1 ivy on your list.... but if you don't then it might fall into the mass of other asian applicants with similar numbers/similar ECs.</p>

<p>but overall, really great chances!</p>

7

<p>probably the best place for biomed is JHU</p>

8

<p>Agreed, JHU has a great (though intense) pre-med program. Duke, MIT, and Caltech are all worth looking at too, especially with your stats.</p>
