<p>I think you have a good shot at Penn ED and a really good one at JHU ED, as being matches except for Mich w/ scholarship. That is a reaclong as you don't apply for BME. Columbia and Duke are low reaches with Cornell being a high match. I think though you should get into Mich as a safety with NYU (not Stern) being a low match. I think JHU would be a match to high match RD with Penn being a low reach RD. You should not expect a semifinalist in Intel...it's pretty competitive. </p>

<p>Thx. Fred, I guess ur right about Intel, I was just saying cus I personally know one of this year's Intel finalists. She did research at the same lab and well, the outcome is obvious ;)! I'll keep my hopes up, but expect nothing. Bump.</p>

<p>bump bump</p>

6

<p>In at JHU, as long as you only show your best medical and science-related ECs.</p>

7

<p>This is a monster bump [sorry]</p>

8

<p>i dont think penn will be hard to get into for you. i'd bet 5 bucks you'd get in RD.</p>

<p>definitely DO NOT retake your Math II. it would be stupid. there's really no difference between a 780 and 800. all it means is that the kid who got an 800 got a lucky guess but you omitted or guessed wrong.</p>
