<p>Hey look! I'm like, one of the few people to not inquire about an Ivy League or MIT/stanford, etc. I want to do cellular/molecular biology and get into med school.</p>
<p>Here are the numbers:</p>
<p>GPA: 3.96UW Rank: 9/504
760 Math (SAT I), 680 Reading, 710 Writing (essay 10), 770 Math level I, 770 Chemistry (WLU only requires two subject tests)</p>
<p>AP's in English Lang (3), Chem (5), Calc BC (5 sub/4), and US History (4)</p>
<p>Next year's schedule is: AP Physics: Mechanics, AP Bio, AP Eng. Lit, and I also have a year round science internship with the National Cancer Institute (fun stuff, now I know that T7 10-3b plus IPTG induced BLT5615 equals lots of dead stuff)</p>
<p>The Science Internship is a big thing for me because I get to do top-line research with experts in the field (I have a senior scientist, a post-doc, and a lab tech in my lab). Right now, I'm attempting to purify and express GRFT protein using modified methionine (I'm the first in my lab to try such a thing, it hasn't been done before, except maybe the senior scientist, but he's not telling me anything). GRFT is a protein that's been proven to combat HIV by the way.</p>
<p>It sounds like I'm bragging, but quite honestly, everyone has either ignored or downplayed my internship, so I'm letting loose now. Anyway, let's continue one</p>
<p>EC's:</p>
<p>--12 years piano, numerous solo performances, one performance in China, been hired to do things like more performances and weddings</p>
<p>--~5-6 years competitive swimming, HS varsity team, Rookie of the Year, School Record holder, All-county swimmer, not a captain though =(</p>
<p>--Mock Trial team grades 9-11, All-star lawyer in my junior year</p>
<p>--Music Instructor for 3 years, taught kids ages 4-12 piano (I became a VERY patient person after the first semester, lol!)</p>
<p>--~90 hours volunteer work at my middle school teaching math</p>
<p>I'll definitely have good recommendations from my calc and my AP chem teachers (I already got killer recommendations from them for my science internship; they both said I was one of their top students).</p>
<p>Thanks for your input!</p>
