Okay, so I tried thinking of a catchy title but I couldn't -- sue 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
--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</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>Chances at:
1. Northwestern (sister attends school, hopefully that helps)
2. Johns Hopkins
3. Wash U St Louis
4. UMich -- Ann Arbor</p>

<p>so yeah...any comments or advice would be veryy helpful</p>

<p>thanks in advance,
The Individual</p>

<p>I'm planning on applying to John's Hopkins too! I think that your EC's and GPA is excellent, and I don't think that your writing will kill you. Here are my best guesses.</p>

<p>Northwestern-accepted 70-85%
Johns Hopkins-accepted 85-90% (maybe I'm just hoping to God you get in so i have a chance
Wash U St Louis-not really sure but the other two should give you a good idea.
UMich-yes</p>

3

<p>thanks! Anyone else?</p>

4

<p>bump bump bump bump,
^(with a Beethoven's 5th type overture) -- get it?</p>

5

<p>I would really appreciate anyone's comments on my chances (I know you're out there!)</p>

<p>Thanks in Advance</p>

6

<p>Northwestern: 50%
Hopkins: 75%
Wash. U: >75%
UMich: In.</p>

7

<p>does it help that my sister also attends Northwestern too right now?</p>

<p>also, keep the chancing coming! :)</p>

8

<p>Northwestern = match
Hopkins = various depending on your intended major
Washington U = match, slight reach if you are applying for financial aid
UMich = no idea</p>

9

<p>-I think I said psychology for my major JHU
-I'm not applying for financial aid</p>

<p>o btw, just to add to my stress level (and to show how ridiculously competitive my school is), we already have these acceptances from EA/ED:</p>

<p>1 to Yale
2 to UPenn
2 to MIT
2 to Cornell
2 to Columbia
1 to Caltech
2 to Georgetown
1 to Johns Hopkins
15+ kids to UMich
fun...</p>

<p>Since I tomorrow is the last day of school prior to winter break -- I really have very little to do other than constantly check this site </p>

<p>woe is me...</p>

11

<p>the infamous bump </p>

<p>chance it up people</p>

12

<p>id say you have a good chance at all of them. your research project at Rutgers is a big plus.</p>

13

<p>great :) </p>

<p>Also, I've just been putting it in as an EC (the research), but explaining it more in detail in "Additional Information" section.</p>

<p>hmm -- any other takers?</p>

14

<p>TheIndividual, do you happen to go to WWP North or South by any chance? The way you described your school sounds a lot like them.</p>

<p>I think you're definitely in at Michigan. JHU and Northwestern...I'd say over 50%. I think you can get in but it's not a certainty. Wash U is probably a toss up.</p>

<p>Overall none of them are out of reach at all.</p>

15

<p>thanks ekostik! </p>

<p>i know u guys are out there and wanna chance it up just a bit more... </p>

<p>:)</p>

16

<p>but you're the individual! how can you not think of a catchy title lol. Uhh lets see...I think you have a great shot at all and NU might be a little unsure and same with WUSTL</p>

17

<p>I know, right? Just a tad bit ironic -- nevertheless, thanks for the chances!</p>

<p>don't worry people till browsing my thread -- you can still chance too!</p>

18

<p>yeah, this thread could definitely do with a bump</p>

19

<p>Great chances..........if that helps a little....... even though I am not an admission officer</p>

<p>thanks -- it does help! :)</p>
