<p>Stats:
4.0 uw, 4.2 weighted at a top CA public. 5 APs this year (Lang, Bio, USH, Psych, Stat). I am director of PR at a local convalescent hospital and have over 400 hours there, I am founder/president of the red cross club, treasurer of the leo club, a membore of the environmental club, a paid intern at a database, a math tutor at a national tutoring company (you’ve heard of it). I also play piano, teach private piano lessons, and played sax/clarinet in the band in 9th & 10th. Last summer I interned at a microbiology lab in thailand through a study abroad program.

<p>Edit: @nygiants congrats! I’ll PM you :)</p>

<p>And good luck to everyone else :slight_smile: I applied to 6 programs this year. I was rejected from 4, and I’m still waiting on 1. Don’t give up, there’s a program out there that’s just right for you. I’m sure you guys are all amazing.</p>

<p>AND It ain’t over till it’s over! You guys still have until 5 PM to get a call!</p>

<p>Gmarch89: Noo don’t worry I think they are continuously calling, and nothing is final until the email</p>

<p>i live right next to stanford but i got in!!! i was very surprised</p>

<p>alwaysleah: 5th times a charm!? haha (:</p>

<p>SAT? or SAT ll? or ACT?</p>

<p>and im not like a diverse person</p>

<p>Got the phone call! Got into SIMR! Very excited!!!</p>

<p>just got the call, accepted! congrats to all of you~</p>

<p>with all these californians getting in … i think we know what’s been a crucial factor in decisions</p>

<p>alwaysleah, congrats on your acceptance too even though i found it kind of weird that you got rejected from everything else outside of california (:</p>

<p>Oh. SAT: 2190 (710 CR, 730 Writing, 750 math) ← I know it’s weak I didn’t study. PSAT was 222. I didn’t take any SAT 2’s yet.</p>

<p>Look, do we really have to go there? There are local opportunities for almost everyone. There were TONS of programs that I looked into that had regional preferences. The one at UC Berkeley preferred kids from another county, the one in Wisconsin wanted kids from the rocky mountain area, the one in NYC wanted kids from NY. It all evens out. There’s no reason to be bitter.</p>

<p>Are you kidding me with the rejection comment? I’ve worked my as* off for years. Look at my stats. Clearly I wasn’t a CA pity case. I mean not to be cocky but jeez.</p>

<p>Congrats alwaysleah! Btw what was the intern program that you did at Thailand last summer?</p>
