<p>I almost forgot to mention that in the 2004 summer btw junior/senior year i was at a 2 month Student Science Training Program at the University of Florida. It is supposedly very selective (you dont just pay to go) as the only take 100 kids from florida. I basically did lab work/ heard lectures from UF science profs and submitted a research paper at the end of the summer. I know they like seeing research/summer stuff ..just forgot to mention it hehe. Also previous summer i spent a month studying at the Alliance Franaise in Paris (Comme j'ai daja dit, je suis Franais) and the year before that traveling in France/Italy. Does this change any def "no's" to def "yes's" ?? thx</p>

<p>Your stats look great, I think you have more than a fair chance at most of your universities, the research is definitely a plus. How are your essays?</p>
