<p>Hey, this is Jason
I've already applied to UCLA, Cal, UCSD, UCD, and UCSB.
I'm working on my Stanford App as its due in 13 days.
I'm also applying to Dartmouth, but I'm not sure if I should just go for the other Ivys. My dad works with the Admissions Officer for Nor Cal so she has motivated me to apply there. What other Ivys are good for me?</p>

1) My research project- dealing with anesthetics: allowing anesthesiologists to base their anesthetic administration on its effects on bacteria (in cases involving epidural surgery- some anesthetics actually promote bacterial infection, and thus paralysis and death)
I worked with scientists at LLNL</p>
<p>2) My day in the Operating Room where I learned the techniques and responsibilities of anesthesiologists- awesome experience
realized I wanted to become an anesthesiologist
-talked about how I am inspired by the work of my grandfather (Stanford grad), who founded the UCI med school and wrote the main anesthesia text book for med school, and my great grandfather, who helped evolve the anesthesia department at UCSF and became dean</p>
