<p>No real work experience, no musical talent, no student government.</p>
<p>Planning on shadowing a Nurse Anesthetist over this summer.</p>
<p>Planning on visiting Northwestern campus in July.</p>
<p>That about sums it up, I am planning on applying to Northwestern early decision, University of Chicago early action, and University of Madison as my safety school. Intended major is chemistry to gain entrance to medical school, then pursuing anesthesiology as my specialty. My essay will be very strong and my recomendations should be satisfactory. Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance everyone and good luck to you all.</p>
<p>On a side note, I have a unique financial situation in that my father passed away 2 years ago and left me a sizable inheritance. My question on this is if I will still receive adequate financial aid because my current guardian is in one of the lowest income brackets. Thanks everyone.</p>
