<p>I am a sophomore at a middle of the road liberal arts school. I am a bio major, looking to eventually go into medicine.</p>
<p>My situation:
didn't care in high school, got a 3.4. SATs were 610/590/620, wish I tried way harder on those
first semester of college took art classes as a graphic design major and had a 3.3.
got internships at harvard med and beth israel hospital, realized I wanted to go into medicine, began to apply myself fully and got straight As for the past two semesters.
My current GPA is a 3.769, will get straight As this upcoming semester as well.</p>
<p>I wrote my essay about the change in perspective that I had, I'm hoping an admissions officer gives me the benefit of the doubt to see I really have changed.</p>
<p>Tufts is my dream school, I know it is a reach but I think with strong essays and letters of recommendation I just might have a shot</p>
<p>BC is slightly less competitive, but I am definitely praying to get in there as well since my chances aren't too great</p>
<p>I feel as though (knock on wood) I should get into Northeastern, which I would still be very happy with</p>
<p>I am saying my prayers and applying to Penn and Brown as well, just to make myself laugh. I know my chances are <.01%</p>
<p>Can you guys give me any input? I feel like my essays are a HUGE make or break for Tufts and BC</p>
