<p>Question: I applied for a premed, and my stats hopefully live up to the expectations</p>
<p>Location: Fairbanks, Alaska
GPA: 4.02 W, 3.8 UW</p>
<p>SAT: 730M, 670CR, 760W
ACT: 33 12essay
MATHIIC: 800
BIOE: 770</p>
<p>Lot's of leadership ECs, but to tired to type...</p>
<p>But the problem is that my essays are pretty crappy, not horrible, but mediocure. But because i'm applying for premed, I was wondering if my essays will impact me as much.</p>
<p>Well, since ur applying to premed, i think ur essays count even more (MORE COMPETITIVE).... but ur otherwise fine and i dont think they will "reject" on the basis of your essay unless its horrible!</p>
<p>I am in the exact same position as you darkburnout00. Our stats are about the same and I applied for pre-med. I don't know what u mean by crappy essay but my $10 essay was soooooooo unimaginative. Well written, but not creative at all. I guess we will just have to wait till April 1st. 24 DAYS!!!</p>
<p>I wish thee luck. Mediocre should not hurt you. It may just sit there. as the Harvard dean said,</p>
<p>96% of applicants are unaffected by essays
2% hurt em
2% help em</p>
<p>Wow, thanks Antarius. That info helps a lot because I have been told that essays are really important and they are the main determinant blah, blah, blah. That makes me feel better.</p>
<p>I am a current freshman, and I know someone who wrote this for his $10 essay:</p>
<p>"I would go to a tackle shop, buy some bait, and go fishing."</p>
<p>or something along those lines and still got accepted...</p>
<p>you're from alaska? maybe that's a hook. they tend to draw students from all over the country (and world)</p>
<p>Lol, yeah, I guess living in Alaska has its benefits...But it's not like I don't earn it (It's almost April and the temperature is still around negative ten; hasn't stopped snowing either). But the good news is that it can get around 90 degrees F during the summer.</p>
<p>But really, it doesn't make that much of a difference. Where about maybe 3/10 applicants might get accepted in the lower 48, maybe 34/100 applicants get in over here.</p>
