2

<p>any opinions?</p>

3

<p>I think you have a strong shot</p>

4

<p>youre in. Research Intership is one of the best things you can put on any resume.</p>

5

<p>Isn't his SAT score on the low side?</p>

6

<p>I think the SAT is okay, and he has a demonstrated focus in science which help the ECs. I think a strong shot, not in for sure though by any stretch. I know plenty of top kids who get rejected.</p>

7

<p>Someone said that research intership is the best thing you can put on a resume?
Do you have to have actually win an award for that effect to take place or is the act of doing research good enough? I am just helping someone in Columbia do his stuff and I don't think I can do my own project.</p>

8

<p>whats your race?</p>

<p>I would say great shot, but for the hours of volunteering, the always curious and hidden rec's from GC's and teachers and that whole essay thing. For the stats you posted it looks good, but of course that’s not the whole application.</p>

10

<p>I also believe you would make a strong applicant...only concern is the lower SAT Verbal Score, but still, looking good.</p>
