Hello, I am wondering if, based off my stats, you could offer me some college suggestions. I would prefer to be on the east coast and no lower than North Carolina.
My eventual goal is to become a doctor.
I am currently a junior.
Stats: 3.75 GPA (I know that some schools calculate your GPA from just your sophomore year and junior year. If so, my cumulative GPA from those 2 years would be about a 4.2)
1300 SAT (I realize it’s low, I am taking it again and will likely raise it substantially)
Male, Caucasian- PA resident
I’ve taken AP US History (and did well)
Honors Inorganic Chemistry (and did well)
And by next year will have taken AP Bio, Organic Chemsitry (which is a second year college class), and CP English.
Also, Spanish 4 which in the future will be an AP class.
My school doesn’t offer any IB or HL classes, also few AP’s
My passion is medicine.
I wrote my first proper, independent research paper my sophomore year of high school with the advisory of a Ph.D of neuroscience (Entitled: Alzheimer’s Disease: The Theory of Causation). This paper has been published in a magazine and was inspired by witnessing the progression of my grandfather’s Alzheimer’s Disease. I am currently working on my second (Chronic Irregular Respiration and The Allostatic Load), which will be finished and published by the time I am applying next year.
Also, I have a medical TV spot on a local TV show that I host (broadcasted to around 100,000 people).
In addition, I shadowed a doctor at my local hospital for a week and had the opportunity of witnessing, and to a limited degree, assisting in an actual autopsy.
I also have a website that I started which is dedicated to bringing new and “divergent” perspectives to various medical related topics (currently has 3 authors, me included).
I also co-founded a public speaking organization with the Ph.D I mentioned above, where I gave numerous speeches.
Finally, I have my student pilot’s license and will (eventually) obtain my private pilot’s license.
Other facts:
I will have recommendations from a professor of neuroscience and from a Harvard trained cardiologist (both of which have mentored me in medicincal concepts for a year+)
I am NHS president of my chapter and played varsity tennis for 3 years.
Thanks,
