<p>I am currently on track to improve my GPA and class rank; I'm getting straight As for this quarter and hopefully for next quarter as well. Any further advice would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Bump…anyone?</p>

<p>Just apply and see what happens. </p>

<p>It’s definitely in your range, and it doesn’t hurt to apply.</p>

<p>Oh yeah, and my stats are pretty much identical to yours (ECs similar, maybe mine are a little weaker though) so I can tell you if I get in within a week or so, but of course that doesn’t say whether you’ll get in or not.</p>

4

<p>Haha, well, I wouldn’t mind knowing anyway.</p>

5

<p>id be interested in knowing where u did it in the hospital… im doing mine in the neurosurgery unit, and i took the initiative to ask to be put there… are u generally volunteering or did u ask to be put in a specific place?.. also i think u got a decent chance, where are ur ECs or is that ur main list??/… do u play any sports??</p>

6

<p>My ECs are on that list. My connection to the hospital was the administrator of the Bloodless Medicine and Surgery Department at the hospital, so that’s the place that I work at. And no, I don’t play any sports. Not really my thing.</p>

7

<p>Honestly, nothing stands out to me. If you’re applying ED, then you might have a fair chance but I have seen people with much stronger resumes get waitlisted/rejected. Sorry, just my opinion.</p>

8

<p>My GPA (unweighted/weighted), SATs, and class rank are all virtually identical to yours (your writing SAT is 40 higher than mine, only difference). </p>

<p>Your classes are much tougher though (I only took 3 APs my senior year), and your extracurriculars are a little bit stronger. </p>

<p>I got waitlisted. (I guess I’ll see if I get off in about a month though)</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>You look very similar to me too. I woud say that it would be very close (45-55) just because of the somewhat 2 dimensionality of your ECs. If you want to do Civil you should also look at Purdue and UMich- Ann Arbor.
