<p>black male applying to be a nurse? you're golden.</p>

6

<p>"Bashi, the Boy Wonder" directed by Francis Copolla, produced by George Lucas, and score written by John Williams. At least 9 academy awards. </p>

<p>But in all seriousness, your grades and ec seem a little weak. However, seeing all the trauma in your life, it is amazing at how much you have accomplished. Since you have a strong Georgetown Recomm letter, I say why not? THe other schools, I'd say all are in your grasps except UPenn, which I heard has a COMPETITIVE nursing school.</p>

7

<p>Not to say you can't make it to UPenn... It'll just be harder, that's all...</p>

<p>I forgot to add a few things to my EC's</p>

<p>Youth Soccer Coach (4 Years)

<p>bump......</p>

11

<p>bump before bed :)</p>

12

<p>i wouldnt add in the trilingual part
its not a huge accomplishment</p>

<p>a lot of people i know are trilingual</p>

<p>for example, i know korean, english, french and spanish</p>

<p>...well...thats more than trilingual</p>

13

<p>I guess that makes it common, then.</p>

14

<p>Alright, what do you think my chances are in terms of admission?</p>

15

<p>I would be VERY confident telling you you're in everywhere if it weren't for your rank... =/</p>

16

<p>Yes, unfortunately it isn't up to par with the rest of the applicants, well with my rank, what do you guys think?
By the time admissions come around, my rank may be within the top 20-25%</p>

17

<p>bump..............</p>

18

<p>bump...............</p>

19

<p>quite frankly, you have a great shot at even the ivies. i would hate for you to apply to hypms</p>

<p>I was interested in Princeton and Stanford but they seem a little too out of my league. I know the schools i'm applying to right now are out of my league, but I see that sometimes they make exceptions.</p>
