<p>University of Miami- I would'nt typically go for it but considering how much $$ they are putting into their med program and their great neuroscience program I am considering it... and yey your comments make me feel better </p>

<p>I'll raise reading to 750 writing to 720 and math to 730 maybe= 2200.. so i'll work rlly hard on SAt prep this summer</p>

<p>Do you think the hispanic ethnicity plays a key part or the participation in the hospital?</p>

<p>When I apply should I include things like Black belt in tae kwon do or is it just unnecessary info?</p>
