All advice appreciated.
You are doing great. Where is your home state and what is your intended major? You probably want to check out if these schools are affordable to you or not. Try their NPC.
NJ, so Rutgers is my safety. Still deciding on major, considering Bio and BME.
Extracurriculars are pretty generic but everything else is great so far.
With awards at state level would not be “generic” at all. I am sure 90+% students do not have that.
Your doing great so far, not much more to say. Make sure to start doing some research on the best program for you so by end of Junior year you are beginning to have good idea of where to apply. You have a good shot at all these colleges. Maybe consider applying ED/EA if you have a clear top choice that you know for sure you want because some schools like NU have crazy huge differences in RD vs ED acceptance rates.
Next year, I think I’m going to try to found a HOSA chapter at my high school. Can you tell me more about it? How often does your chapter meet and what do you do at meetings? What are the conferences like?
