<p>I am a member of a number of other clubs and hold leadership positions in many of them.</p>

<p>I have conducted medical research on cancer in mice and authored/published a paper on a transgenic mouse line that expresses the influenza hemagglutinin (HA) on pancreatic islet beta cells and the T Cell and HA Antigen response to the strain of cancer. (You get the idea -- I'm too lazy to explain all the details.)</p>

<p>My essays and teacher recs are very good.</p>

<p>I live in the midwest and do not need financial aid (if that helps at all)</p>

<p>Do I have any chance of being accepted to Penn or any of my RD schools?????</p>

<p>I know my scores are low but will good EC's and essays offset those low scores?</p>

<p>any ideas???</p>

<p>help please</p>

<p>I would guess no to penn, northwestern, and notre dame. Your scores seem to hurt a bit, but the ECs are awesome and your research is really unique. I'd guess you're in the others.</p>

<p>I think you will get into Emory if you apply ED II, so the rest won't matter. In case you don't apply or aren't accepted, I think your chances at Duke, JHU, Penn, Northwestern, and Cornell are low. You just don't have the standardized test scores to compete. As for the rest, your chances are probably 50-50 or better (not sure about WUSTL).</p>

<p>I'm no ad com but I think you've definetely got a very good resume!...it's just the SAT scores that might just hurt you a bit....or maybe not. Of course, there are many other factors that may influence your acceptance as you may probably know already...how hard was your course load? By the way, My friend's brother got into Cornell three years ago with a 1370.</p>

<p>exception, not the rule</p>

<p>what do you think my chances are at emory if i apply RD? </p>

<p>there is a good chance i will receive a large sum of merit money from my state school (probably full tuition, board, books, etc.). because of this i may want to wait and apply to emory in the RD round and have some time to decide between the two options.</p>

<p>any ideas/suggestions????</p>
