@austinmshauri Yes, I have taken the SAT and as a freshman scored in the high 1400s, but I have been studying a lot and based on my practice tests I should be in the mid-high 1500s when the next SAT date opens up. In my state the SAT has been canceled (got an email yesterday) so that is a bit sad. I have already been working with my aunt’s friend for the whole summer using calling and telemedicine.
I am the president of 2 clubs, currently conducting COVID-19 research, currently doing spinal cord research at the Baylor College of Medicine (and will be doing so until 2022), I tutor Afghan Refugees in English, history, and math from 2nd grade to 10th grade, I take care of the elderly (will have 600 hours of direct patient care by the time I apply), have been shadowing for a while (will have around 120 hrs), and I since 7th grade I have been the president of a public health nonprofit and we have helped 30,000 people and have 50 chapters on all 6 inhabited continents (major EC)- I did not start this at all for the resume boost , started after my grandparents died and started in middle school when I didn’t know college apps existed and that it was common to create a nonprofit.
@Publisher Yes, I am a sophomore now.
@BKSquared Yeah of course, I was just saying that my reason to be a doctor for University of Cincinnati and my reason to be a doctor for Texas Tech will be very similar as I had a few key experiences that led me to medicine. That is a great point I have already started on my common app essay for a year now and have started on the ‘why us’ essays and will finish the commonly recycled supplemental essays before senior year so I don’t overwhelm myself.
Thank you all so much for your help. I would really appreciate if you could tell me which of my schools have a really bad environment and are full of GPA gamers?
