<p>Well my HS GPA is 4.0/4.0 and SAT is 2030 with Current GPA 3.75 freshman…
A lot of activities about education…
Hope I would have a chance to get in…</p>

<p>ONE HOUR ONE HOUR.</p>

<p>I hope so, anyway.</p>

<p>@CaptTShannan I love your enthusiasm </p>

<p>@marathonstrong8‌ haha, thanks! What are your stats?</p>

<p>Hey @CaptTShannan ! I currently attend a state research university in their Honors Program.</p>

<p>Applying to: CAS, Medicine, Health, and Society (Following a Pre-Medical track)
Current College GPA: 4.0
College Extracurriculars: Model United Nations Delegate for the Commission on the Status of Women (I leave next week for the NMUN Conference in NYC!), Division I Cross Country/Track and Field, Student Senate on Health & Wellness Council
Work: Academic Coach for inner-city high school/middle-school aged children.
Volunteer: Habitat for Humanity in Baltimore, MD, Project Outreach in Philadelphia, PA, Project Leader for a fundraiser that raised enough money to send three children to school for an entire year in Kenya.
High School Extracurriculars: Senior Class President, Junior Class President, President of the National Honor Society State Board, President of the Youth Medical Explorers at my regional hospital, Class Rep. on the Community Senate, Project Leader/Head Fundraiser of Marathon Strides for Multiple Sclerosis - raised significant funds for MS through running a marathon and raised awareness through peaceful activism for my senior project, Marching Band all four years with leadership positions & Tri-M Society
High School GPA: 3.52 (family troubles contributed to low grades during junior year which I explained thoroughly in the additional information)
SATs: 680 W, 670 R, 600 M (Not that great, but I feel like the rest of my application outweighs this. SATs are supposed to predict success in college, but I believe that I have proved my SATs otherwise)
Summer 2013: Harvard Secondary School Program & earned two As, one in a class on Child Health which relates to my intended.
Recs: Very positive
Essays/Reason for transferring: Would prefer a more challenging academic environment, more urban setting close to teaching hospitals and opportunities for cultural enrichment around Nashville. Only said positive things about my current school.
Summer 2014: I will be attending Stanford University this summer to take classes and gain experience in the medical field in free clinics in the surrounding Palo Alto area.</p>
