<p>By the way, I’m looking into pursuing biomedical research with an emphasis on neuroscience and, as of now, wish to become an MD,PhD.</p>

3

<p>Clearly you are the most intelligent person residing in the state of Tennessee. Kidding! (sort of). Your stats, with the exception of that abysmal bio score, are impeccable. I’d say you have earned a spot on the admissions dartboard. (That interesting fact about being a Caucasian might just tip it in for you). </p>

<p>Seriously, that’s a very impressive resume - good luck!</p>

4

<p>Lord, that is an impressive resume. You’ll do fine. </p>

<p>Oh, and I did the SSP in 2008!</p>

5

<p>Take a deep breath and stop worrying - you’re amazing! :)</p>

6

<p>Clearly your chemistry and biology scores are going to hurt you. What’s a matter, couldn’t do perfectly?</p>

<p>This was a joke, by the way. If anyone is going to get into Harvard, it’s you.</p>

7

<p>If you never finish your essays, then you will never submit your app.
If you never submit your app, you won’t get in.</p>

<p>And one of the thousands of less qualified people will take your place.</p>

<p>So, take your sweet sweet time =).</p>

8

<p>The hell are you nervous about?</p>

9

<p>are you just trying to make everybody jealous? hahahahaha. your stats are simply amazing. that just made my day very depressing. thanks. :smiley:
jkjk. but not really.</p>

10

<p>You have very good chances.</p>

11

<p>this person has two posts, both on this thread… troller skates</p>

12

<p>Nice stats, but what did you DO? </p>

<p>It would help us out a lot if you elaborated a bit on you experiences as say, a career mentee or an intern (btw, I’m applying for Rockefeller this year…any suggestions? :slight_smile: ).</p>

<p>From what you’ve given though, it seems like you have a good chance. It’s only IMO though; don’t take my word for it.</p>
