It's Good Karma to CHANCE me :)

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>GPA: 3.784 UW, 4.430 W
(I have taken a very rigorous course load -- as indicated by my weighted GPA. I have actually gotten 4 B's over my high school career, compared to 17 A's)</p>

<p>SAT: 730 M 740 CR 640W (Essay: 11)</p>

<p>SAT II:
Math IIC: 720
Chemistry: 710
*I go to an extremely competitive school
*we do not rank because of overly-competitive atmosphere</p>

<p>AP Scores
Chemistry 5
US History 4</p>

<p>EC
Freshman Summer-- Took classes at local community college
Sophomore Summer -- UPenn PreCollege Program
Junior Summer -- took a class at my state university/ Shadowed General Internist Hospital Specialist at Brigham and Womens Hospital (Harvard Med Teaching Affiliate )</p>

<p>***Also I am researching with a professor at Rutgers. We are trying to find a correlation between cortical asymmetry (depression) and hypertension/heart disease using a electroencephalogram and a pulse/blood pressure monitor. I think this is pretty unique</p>

<p>Model UN (10,11,12)
--Have attended numerous national conferences in Model UN and have won several Individual (national) Awards -- As many of you MUNers know, winning at large conferences is no easy feat (This includes "Best Delegate" awards as well)
--My school's MUN team is the best MUN team in the state
-- Placed first several times at my High School's 'mock' model united nations conferences.</p>

<p>-I was lucky enough to receive a New Jersey Legislature Citation of Praise and Commendation for my Community Service (Sounds good )</p>

<p>-I shadow General Internists every weekend at the Best Hospital in New Jersey (It's surprisingly difficult to get a team of doctors to let a high schoolers tag along with them on rounds)</p>

<p>200+ hours of volunteering at Nursing Home
National Math Honors Society (11,12)
National Spanish Honors Society (11,12)
JV Lacrosse (9,10)</p>

<p>Schools:
Washington University in St. Louis
Northwestern University
Johns Hopkins University
University of Chicago</p>

<p>WashU -- WAITLIST
Northwestern -- 50/50
Hopkins -- 50/50
UChicago -- 40%</p>

<p>you better have some matches/safties</p>

3

<p>hmm....a bit pessimistic, no?</p>

<p>any other chancers out there???</p>

4

<p>That is a darn good resume. I think you can get in, but it always good to have a couple safeties. :D</p>

5

<p>Washington University in St. Louis - show alot of interest = reach
Northwestern University - reach
Johns Hopkins University - low reach
University of Chicago - low reach, write great essays</p>

<p>Wash U is a reach because of the GPA. Get it up above 3.8, and you can call it a day. Also, if you get your writing score above 2100, your chances will go considerably up. U of Chicago is a slightly lower reach, and JHU and NWU are both low reaches for you. The only way these top tier schools would be matches for you is if you had your ECs and perfect GPA and perfect SATs (aka the perfect applicant), so do not feel bad at all.</p>

<p>In effect, we are saying you are a competitive applicant.</p>

<p>and if it's good karma to chance you, then maybe itll go around...</p>
