<p>I applied Harvard REA and the biggest thing going for me is science fair and other extracurricular activities</p>
<p>Science Fair:
I have competed in 3 international competitions and in the works of publishing about 3 papers in scientific journals. I have also won a large amount of money through awards and scholarship...Two notable awards were a full scholarship to Drexel and a Summer Internship at Agilent Tech which is the number one measurement company in the world. My letter of recommendations were from Agilent, the assistant director of DBI (Delaware Biotech Institute), and two teachers</p>
<p>I have also made national engineering competitions and placed nationally in a few science olympiad competitions...I have placed regional outstanding and meritorious in the HiMCM comap competition...I also played football and swimming for my school...my grades are like a 3.6-3.7 GPA and SATs are like 1930.....I have/currently taking 8 APs and a UD course Calc 3 and ODI which are both college obivously...the ap were both calc, bio, chem, physics, environ sci, both econs...all the other classes were honors...</p>
<p>I def want to go to premed and medicine but I want to major in BioMed Engineering because I find it interesting through my research in the biotech field....</p>
<p>my school is number one in my state and we are the most competitive internally...thus we do not have a class rank</p>
<p>with that all said...what are my chances of harvard REA? Also any tips for anything else I should look into? I know about the cross-registering with MIT so engineering part should be taken care of right? I also have University of Delaware free and I could do chem engineering there....money is not a problem for me and I am also Indian (from India lol)</p>
<p>other college choices:
MIT
Duke
UPenn
Princeton
UD
Drexel
Dartmouth

<p>yeah i know...research took alot of time but idk...i choose harvard over MIT due to Medicine...also I forgot to add that i volunteer in the Science Ambassadors Program and NHS</p>
<p>hmm thx...idk my school sends about 2 people to harvard each year and I know of only one other girl that is apply REA to harvard. Does that increase chances?</p>
<p>Those SATs and GPA are way, way too low for ivy league and the like. And they don't correlate to your awards. And early ain't gonna help. Those schools are very unlikely. If you're really into BME and premed, JHU is the #1 school in the world for that, but it too is very competitive.</p>
<p>You should have stated the friend anecdote earlier, that changes everything! Hmmmm, I guess I was wrong, you'll probably/definitely get in everywhere.</p>
<p>hmm I am a semi-finalist for the Intel Science Talent Search...pretty big stuff....and I recently had interviews with harvard and MIT with Duke and Princeton this week.</p>
<p>MIT loved me, my research, and way of thinking...same with Harvard although my grades and SATs was a downside for them...</p>
<p>I agree that your GPA and SATs do not back up your research. OK, maybe a lower GPA because you spent so much time on it, but a 720 on the mathI??? I've never even heard of anyone applying to MITwith a mathI. You're an interesting case because your awards are good, but I've never know anyone with those awards and such sub par stats. Who knows?</p>
