<p>Teacher reccomendation: don't know---- but i'm sure it will be good cause i'm ranked top 1% in my school
Counselor reccomendation: same as teacher
essay: spend a ton of time on it for sure!</p>
<p>I want to go into the biotechnology/biomedical/bioengineering/ or the genetical engineering field.</p>
<p>Do you think i can make it in safely with a full scholarship? </p>
<p>What other schools should i consider applying for? (safeties, mathes, and slight reaches please--- 40% to 100% chance)</p>
<p>Read my above resume carefully, and don't say "wow, he's going in for sure" just because i made it long..... consider the importance of each of my E.C's!</p>
<p>You will definitely get in. You will get a scholarship. You probably will not get a full ride. My S had higher GPA, the same scores, less ECs( and different than yours, but he is not going into sciences) , 46 university credits( WSU) . He got a scholarship, but it's far from a full ride.</p>
<p>i got DA to bioE + full ride too...mary gates honors for tuition and books..and another merit based scholarship for my housing... </p>

<p>~800 hours community service (hospitals, pacific science center, feeding homeless), vp of physics club, ran city-wide tutoring program for at-risk youth, lab research at uw engineered biomaterials, built low-cost production spectrometer at institute for systems biology, co-coordinator of cosmic ray detection project, math team, varsity golf, jv swim, junior classical league, amnesty international, youth volunteer corps advisory board member</p>
<p>summer stretch program at uw..math one summer, chemistry the next...and then a science and engineering program at MIT</p>
<p>some science fair stuff, national latin exam awards..golf, science, and volunteer work scholarships...</p>
<p>^^^^
Wow, your stats are EXACTLY like my S's. :-) His school doesn't offer AP classes, so he just did Running Start( 46,5 credits) . He doesn't have much of EC stuff. Varsity and club soccer, community service and a lot of songwriting and music recording. So no full ride, not even close. :-)</p>
<p>krayongirl,
like yours. S will be attending though, even without full ride, UW was the only affordable option. #1 and 2 choices even with merit money were beyond our reach. Luckily, S "loves his safety" :-)</p>
