<p>yes im interested in knowing as well (prospective '11)</p>

<p>yes me too...</p>

<p>again... also interested...</p>

<p>As am I. Please, give us some stats.</p>

<p>There is this thread. <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=155093%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=155093&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>This is what I said on there:</p>

<p>The only awards I have are from getting the highest grade in particular classes, but I also listed some nominal awards from tennis and violin/piano work. I started the science club in my school, and I have a founding role in my school's recycling process and environmental awareness club. I do other less-signifcant clubs, but I think what helped me was the internship I took at a cancer research lab over the summer. I've only been volunteering at a hospital for a little over a year, so I'm surprised that I got in with that. I was expecting people who had a much more comprehensive profile in the medical world. I also am very avid in cooking, so I included that and a recipe with my activity list plus three short elaborations on what I wanted to highlight. I like to think that seemingly superfluous information actually helped.</p>

<p>My essays were apparently good enough to get me in. SAT: 740W 760M 710V; SAT II: 800 Bio-M 790 Writing 780 Math IIC; AP: 5s on Euro, Stat, Bio; Ranked 6 out of 480; GPA: 3.96.</p>

<p>I had phenomenal teacher recommendations and I applied ED; I know that helped me a lot.</p>
