<p>Thanks for reading this far peeps! Anyone think I can get into Stanford, UC Berkeley, UC Davis and UCLA?</p>

<p>Submit your ACT and you’ll have as good a chance as physically possible. Congrats on a sparkling resume. </p>

3

<p>And don’t forget your subject tests!</p>

4

<p>I think you can</p>

5

<p>I think you have a strong chance; however, given HIPAA, you might want to consider not mentioning that you “read patient notes” at a physician’s office, esp. since it’s your parent’s practice. Unless you were employed/on payroll of course, then it would be alright.</p>

6

<p>Lol @lostyetfound‌ I read the OP’s comment about reading patient notes, and my first thought was “doesn’t that violate HIPAA?” My second concern is that if you really are reading patient notes with no regard to HIPAA, then you (the OP) don’t really understand what it means to be a psychiatrist. Your résumé looks really good though. </p>

7

<p>Wanna trade resumes? XD</p>

8

<p>You have as good a chance as anyone, which means you have a chance. With Stanford admissions, that is the best you can hope for.</p>

9

<p>Ha, It’s okay, I had an internship there! </p>

10

<p>DO I HAVE TO TAKE THEM?!?!???!</p>

11

<p>Stanford recommends applicants submit two subject tests. But it’s not required.</p>

12

<p>What are you majoring in? If you’re applying for a typically more intense major that has a lot of competition, lack of subject tests in Math + 1 science + 1 or more humanities may hurt the application slightly.</p>

<p>Only other problem I see is the lack of focus in the EC’s / Internships. Fame isn’t really a binding theme to who you are.
You’re an actor, a mock trial lawyer, an app creator, a medical intern, and a political science intern. On top of that, you’re a CS-intern as well (at least, what I assume from your internship at Flipboard).</p>

<p>Resume is outstanding but very cluttered with no real focus. As long as you can create a defined focus for yourself (as to who you are), I think you’re on your way. </p>

<p>However, be mindful that Stanford is a crapshoot for anybody.</p>

<p>My first concern was HIPAA as well, and if the OP thinks it was okay (post #8), then he/she doesn’t understand why that is wrong; especially in the practice of psychiatry.<br>
Self-centered impression, but that’s just my first impression.<br>
Stanford is a reach. Davis yes.</p>
