<p>oh my gooodness!1 hahhaha im gooing too! whata coincidence lol</p>
<p>where is kalapeetham?</p>
<p>My unweighted GPA is 3.7, I got 2270 (710 CR, 780 Math, 780 Writing I am gonna take it again in October and hope to get something close to 2400) on the NEW SAT I in June.
I think my SAT I is pretty good, but since most BS/MD programs require the applicants to have at least 3.8, I am really depressed right now.
Should I give up and apply early to other schools?</p>
<p>ur have a GREAT SAT score....and ur GPA can be raised during ur senior yr...but what do ur EC, leadership, various activities look like beacause those r extremely important</p>
<p>-Profile:-</p>
<p>-Asian Indian from New Jersey</p>
<p>Stats:
SAT I- 1480/ Math IC - 760, Math IIC - 800, Bio- 790, Physics- 790, Latin- 720, Writing- 640/</p>
<p>10 APs:</p>
<p>Senior Year: AB Calc, Statistics, Latin: Vergil,</p>
<p>Year Off (see below): Physics B, English Language, Psychology, Environmental Science, Biology, Chemistry, BC Calculus
-Mostly 5's and 4's</p>
<p>Grades:
Freshman year, I had attended a prep school in which I received a 98.5 average with the highest GPA of a 4.2/4.2 with the most difficult courses and perhaps ranked in the top three students academically.</p>
<p>(Sophmore-Senior)
I attend an elite boarding school, Deerfield Academy, where about 33% of the seniors attend the Ivy Leagues. At this difficult place, I, personally, have an 88 average. The school, however, does not rank. The kids who get accepted to Harvard, Princeton, or Yale get around a 90-93 average. Thus, this school is very competetive and a feeder to the top universities. I am on target for perhaps the lower end of the Ivies and other great institutions.</p>
<p>NOTE: I actually just graduated and I enrolled at Vandy but I am taking a year off. I did not get into Cornell RD and got waitlisted at JHU. My current plans are to attend a biomedical science college in India, do research, do many community service in the neighboring areas and in hospitals, and come back with a solid foundation entering pre-med in college. I hope this is a good idea to benefit myself as an individual and also for colleges to look upon both upon my academic and personal character. It will be a great oppotunity to go home to my native land after more than 10 years and will truly be a revitalizing and cultural experience.</p>
<p>Also, another question, as I take a year off, will colleges consider and lean towards primarily on my senior year grades and what I do the year off?</p>
<p>P.S.- Those sat IIs and additional Ap courses were new and after the deadline. I am adding them for my re-applying process this year so I dont want you guys to consider that the same results would proceed again this year.</p>
<p>Also, I realize the 640 SAT II writing is bad, but I heard that they may not consider writing so my 1480 is pretty legit as one component.</p>
<p>I have a great list of extra-curriculars which I have not compiled yet but will do so. But I have had many leadership obligations and awards with a well-rounded base that ranges from amazing,
- excellent community service from all kinds with many hours and extends to an international scope. (Seeds of Peace Fundraiser, Round Square, over 200 hours volunteering in hospital, awarded a grant to start my own project for two months to teach senior citizens at a retirement center basic computer skills, started camp in India for underpriveleged kids, teaching both academics and fitness classes, many other projects at school etcc.. will perhaps make a portfolio)
-Dance for 5 years and choreographer and leader of various genres. We have an excellent program.
-Vbaseball 2 years - went to new england championship. Varsity Soccer and swimming for 1 year.
-Debate with a few awards. Math team with many awards and great scores & percentiles nationally. (AMC, AIME...)
-President of several significant clubs that have made impact on the community and to myself. -Dance, Yoga, Black student Association, Vocal percussion-
-Piano for 7 years- taking lessons, performing in recitals and bands. Some accapella (vocal percussionist).
-Big Brother/Math Tutor/Buddy system/Head Tour Guide/Technology Proctor/Website Editor/Hospital Volunteering</p>
<h2>I have additional great activites plus awards whcih I have not listed. But most ly, I hope what I have done in such an environment and caliber of my school is what will be impressive to colleges.</h2>
<p>Reccs: 6 reccs
-2 history, 1 Latin, 2 Science Reccs from (India), 1 from a boss, 1 Dance Teacher
(colleges will like to see reccs from both environments and schools)
-I will make a community service portfolio with my excellent activities that ranges from international experiences to my local community.
-(Also I will send a dance tape and resume) - UGrad colleges
- And as well as a reserach report(s) of the science work I do from India.
-Also, my grandmother passed away during exam week during a term where I received an average of 83. This was sophmore year and I hope
these colleges understand this number as I will be sure to write a letter.</p>
<p>Other notes to clarify:
-I will still be considered a high school student from Deerfield. (thus not international)
-I will still be consdered as applying as an incoming freshman. (thus not a transfer)</p>
<p>So please, can you rate my chances EARLY DECISION. I really have to decide soon where I should apply to.</p>
<p>So Chances at:
AMC-Union Ugrad, Drexel-Drexel UGrad, Drexel-Villanova Ugrad, UMiami, UMDNJ-Drew, UMDNJ-Stockton, Virginia commWealth U, Temple, UConn, Westchester, and UCincinatti, and GWU.</p>
<p>I realize it is a long list but I am hoping if you could take some time rating my chances. P.S. I am apply Duke ED as my first option.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I wanted to apply to Penn State, George Washington, UMKC, Northwestern on a whim, BU, NEOUCOM, RPI, and Michigan State</p>
<p>Do I have a chance of getting into a direct program?</p>
<p>And 9 years of Piano</p>
<p>The way I see it, since most of these probably have an interview, it's really going to really be up to that. Your stats are obviously up to par with most applicants, but if you screw up the interview you can be declined, and vice versa.</p>
<p>Whats NEOUCOM and RPI.. what do those stand for?</p>
<p>well, i know RPI stands for Renssalaer Polytechnic Institute...</p>
<p>The RPI/AMC Physician-Scientist 7-year program, GW - very competitive programs. You have below average numbers for that program. NEOUCOM is NOT a competitive program in Ohio.</p>
<p>but the op isnt from ohio so it would be much harder to get into neoucom out of state</p>
<p>anyoneee?? oh my UC Gpa IS ACTUALLY 4.5</p>
<p>You're indian like alot of bs/md students. Apply to the a bunch of programs. Here are some of best ones: PSU, BU, RPI/AMC, GW, Rochester, Brown, NW. I know PSU, BU, RPI, and GW have a ton of Indians in the program. Alot of fun.</p>
<p>haha thanks gangsta, but do i stand a chance at those?</p>
<p>You don't have any shadowing experience?</p>
<p>no...ah am i screwed?</p>
<p>Don't worry. Your stats are in the range. You have a shot. Apply to the programs I listed (maybe pick out the ones that are closer to you if that matters). You definitely have the potential to get into one of them. Good luck. And come to RPI cause its da bomb and i love it.</p>
