@nanotechnology yeah it’s spread over all semesters
Hi I got a letter today from Northeastern asking me if i would like to visit. But i live in California and would not be able to afford visiting. Do you think they would pay for me to go visit? or no?
@rachaell I’m from CA too and I got the same letter. Ohio State gave me a $600 travel grant to visit them, so anything is possible.

For me, the fact that I’ve volunteered at a hospital for two years probably stood out. I spent a lot of time on my essay and had several of my teachers look it over. Other than that, no other “hooks” that I can think of. I took the SAT IIs in Chem and US History plus the ACT and got a 32 combined (not the best score but my English section was pretty strong).
