From what I heard, my essays are strong, and I have a recommendation letter from a Physics Professor at Columbia. </p>
<p>My intended major of choice is Biomedical Engineering. Of my original 9 schools, I got wait listed from 5 (Johns Hopkins BME, Cornell, UC Berkeley, NYU Stern, and UMich Engineering), and rejected from the other 4 (Duke, Northwestern, UCLA, USC). So now, I'm looking at Purdue as my first choice and I'd be willing to go pretty far lengths to get accepted. I haven't fully given up on those wait list offers, but I'm not expecting anything, so Purdue would be the best option for me at the moment. Please let me know what you think of my stats and how I match up to the class of 2018 considering I applied VERY late.</p>
