<p>My main focus is Stanford, but I think I am applying to Harvard and Yale as well. Also, thinking about Rice, Johns Hopkins, Brown, Emory. UPenn, Uchicago..etc. I would like your input/advice/opinion. Thanks!</p>

<p>SAT I: 2200 (might be retaking it one more time)
SAT II: Chemistry 800 and Biology 760</p>

<p>AP: Biology 5, Chemistry 5, English Comp 4, World History 5
I am taking 7 AP classes senior year.</p>

<p>GPA: unweighted: 3.98; weighted: 4.8</p>

<p>I am a competitive artist. I have been competing in the Federal Duckstamp Design Contest since I was 10. I have gotten Honorable Mention 4 times and 1st place 2 times. I have competed in more then 20 State-wide contests so far. I have gotten many 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places. I also have 7 American Art Companies and 2 international companies who sponsored my portfolio.</p>

<p>This summer, I was a Medical/Surgical Intern at a Hospital. I worked 50+ hours a week. I also interned at a dentist, pharmacist, and optometrist. I have also been volunteering at another hospital, nursing home/medical assist, and two libraries all throughout high school. </p>

<p>I am also on the academic team. I got 2nd place in science and 1st in chemistry in my district. I am a lab manager at my school. I tutor outside of school for money, but sometimes, I volunteer.</p>

<p>I am in NHS, Science NHS (vice president), Math NHS (Math team Captain), Art NHS (Vice President) and Student council.</p>

<p>I speak english, chinese and french (can also read Japanese)</p>

<p>I plan to go to med school after college. </p>

<p>I had to move twice in the past three years, but still managed to get by in school decently. (I hope!)</p>

<p>Should I apply? Would I get in? What are my chances? Thank you everyone!</p>

2

<p>Your chances are decent. Apply early to your top choice.</p>

3

<p>Yes, you should apply. I wouldn’t say you’re the cream of the crop but still have a shot since those schools can be unpredictable. I am interested in some of the same schools- Chance Me?</p>

<p>weak SATs…</p>

5

<p>Not weak, they are average (50%)
whatever they are, though, they won’t hurt you</p>

6

<p>I agree with you, I really need to take it one more time. Aiming for 2300’s, i hope.</p>

7

<p>I am also in the top 1% of my graduating class. (7 out of 968 people)</p>

8

<p>do you guys think i can get into rice?</p>

9

<p>I think you’ll get into Rice. I also think you have a great shot at any school you apply to. I would be surprised if you DIDN’T get into at least one of the four schools name in the thread title.</p>

10

<p>Raise your scores and you should have a decent shot at any of those.</p>
