<ul>
<li>I will most definitely chance back now that I know what a pain this was to type out.* ;)</li>
</ul>

<p>I was just deferred from Georgetown so I'm getting a little nervous about my other schools.</p>

<p>I love every school on my list (a lot of people wonder why I have so many reach --> because I would love to attend PSU or Rutgers as much as Yale or Columbia. They're all so different, it's hard to compare.)</p>

<p>I applied to the Engineering schools for biomed engineering (eventual pediatric neuro-oncologist! hopefully), if they had them, and A&S for bio if not.</p>

<p>SCHOOLS:
Rutgers New Brunswick
Penn State University Park (then Schreyer's Honros College)
Villanova - just accepted EA yesterday!
Washington U in St. Louis
Georgetown - deferred EA
Columbia
UPenn
Yale</p>

<p>Location/Person:</p>

<ul>
<li>State or Country: New Jersey, USA</li>
<li>School Type: Public (Vocational/Magnet type... focuses on Biotech)</li>
<li>Ethnicity: Asian</li>

'--> Electives: Anatomy & Physiology, Environmental Bio, Public Speaking, Spanish V or Developmental Bio</li>
</ul>

<p>Subjective:</p>

<ul>
<li>Essays: personal essay was the risk (about my passion for attending sporting events - sounds cheesy/lame, but real sports fans might understand where I'm coming from)
--> All of my essays were really... passionate(?). Well, I wrote all of them from my heart (wow, this is sounding cheesy), but they're all really genuine and true reflections of who I am.</li>
<li>Teacher Recs: best friends with my teachers, who are also club advisors, so hopefully good</li>

<p>Congrats on Nova. Rutgers is a lock. Yale, WUSTL, Columbia and Penn are all reaches (if for other reason than the acceptance percentage). Not sure about PSU.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for your reply.</p>

<p>No worries, I’ve always known those were reaches (although my guidance counselor told me Rutgers was a fit/reach… slightly offended by that one).</p>

<p>I was over at the Yale SCEA EA thread, and I always feel bad seeing such qualified people being turned away. =( Although it’s those same people who get into other schools and do amazing things so hopefully, the disappointment is fleeting.</p>

<p>"a lot of clubs make me look like I’m doing it for the apps "</p>

<p>I think it would be best if you wrote an essay explaining why you joined so many clubs. That way admission officials would understand you better.</p>

<p>I think you are a lock for penn state and rutgers, match for Washington U in St. Louis
40/60 George town and 30/ 70 ivies as it isfor everyone.
