ECs: I'm in FOCUS fellowship, weekly freshman comm service in philly, treasurer of outdoors club, i work behind the counter at a pharmacy when im at home, chem prof invited me to do summer research with her, (but i can't really put that on my application)</p>

<p>Hey rollz4</p>

<p>You and I had pretty much the same HS and College stats. nice on</p>

<p>Your college stats look good to me, just make sure you have great recommendations </p>

<p>I transferred to Georgetown as a biochem major this semester and I absolutely love it. </p>

<p>Def PM me for any help</p>

<p>How about Hopkins or cornell?</p>

<p>Good stats! Congratulations!</p>

<p>Scripps
Univ Wisconsin Madison
UMich
UNC
GIT
...
and, just for fun--MIT :), it would not hurt to try, right?</p>

5

<p>to anyone who cares, i was admitted to the honors program today. woot!</p>

<p>tennis, i will definitely be PMing you at some point, another chem who transferred in with similar stats and willing to share about the experience is a gift from above.</p>

<p>haha and ccTransfer, as a dude, going to scripps would be sweet, but i have a feeling that won't fly with the adcoms. i have a feeling MIT might be (a little....ok alot) out of reach. thanks for the suggestions though, i'll do a little more research about nc, mich and wisconson.</p>

<p>thanks so much for the info...anyone else have any ideas? do UVa and GTown seem like reasonable (50-50) schools?</p>

6

<p>dnt worry man, i expect lots of ?s b/c I had so many when I was doing it last year too. I really didn't apply to many schools b/c I set my heart on Georgetown University. </p>

<p>Duke
Columbia...just apply to all the ivies why not? ha (except harvard and princeton grr)
U chicago
northwestern
p.s. congrats with the honors program (that's always a +1 to the adcoms)</p>

7

<p>jeez do you guys really think some of these schools are a possibility, given that I'm applying for sophomore status?</p>

<p>maybe northwestern, but duke columbia and chicago?
or am i just seriously discounting myself?</p>

<p>Well applying for soph status means they look at your hs record more. And your GPA isn't great; but those test scores are marvelous. So I think you have a reasonable shot at those schools-- especially considering your college record.</p>

<p>ps. why can't you put that you did research on an app?</p>

9

<p>i figure i can't put the research on it because it's a summer plan, and not something that i've actually accomplished as of yet. besides, i may be interning at nestle waters this summer... my interview is on friday <em>fingers crossed</em></p>

<p>thanks so much for all the insight tennis and cc!</p>

<p>FYI, I'm adding Vanderbilt to my list. I researched Wisconsin, NC, and Michigan, but after speaking to friends from high school who attend the schools, they sound a too big for my tastes. So it's looking like Vanderbilt, Virginia, and Georgetown. Do these sound like decent choices, especially considering that I'd be applying for sophomore status?</p>

<p>I don't know that much about UVA and how much being out of state would affect you; but going purely off of stats you should have a reasonable shot at all of those schools. Good luck with that interview! ( mention the research in the interview!!)</p>
